  • On the sidelines but central: The powerful role parents play in youth sport

    On the sidelines but central: The powerful role parents play in youth sport
    Jul 2 2025

    Youth sport doesn’t happen without parents—but their role is far more complex than carpooling and cheering. In this episode, we speak with Dr. Nick Holt, Dean of Kinesiology at the University of Calgary, longtime coach, and parent, about how parents shape their child’s sporting experience—for better or worse. Drawing from 2 decades of research in youth sport and development, Holt explores the fine line between support and control, why sideline behaviour matters, and how clubs and coaches can work with parents to foster positive environments. Because in youth sport, parents aren’t just on the sidelines—they’re part of the team.

    The lasting social impact of mega sporting events: Creating accessible, inclusive legacies
    Jun 4 2025
    Mega sporting events like the Olympics and Paralympics promise excitement, but do they leave a lasting social impact? Dr. Laura Misener, professor and researcher at Western University, explores how these global spectacles can drive real change—especially in accessibility and inclusion for people with disabilities. In this episode, we examine what it takes to turn a two-week event into a long-term legacy, why grassroots initiatives matter more than big-ticket projects, and how Para sport can shift public perceptions. From policy to technology, discover the keys to ensuring these events don’t just impress—but improve the communities that host them.
