Jedediah Michigan Governor
Gretchen Whitmer, giving gyms the
yellow light to reopen green
light to reopen.
My next guest stressed the
importance of sports in our
schools,
the ability to compete, work as
a team develop individually in
order to adapt to the needs of
others, adaptability,
leadership. These are all skills.
Employer seek
the time when they are the most
impressionable and a time when
they need to be a part
that coach, Megan Mccrory
joins me now
talk about your role, what you
do and what you see as the role
of sports in terms of youth
development, and why thats so
important right now,
yeah, absolutely,
as you stated, im a local
volleyball coach here in the
astronaut of Michigan,
and you know, as a coach and
having been a coach for over a
decade now. What I see is
exactly what I spoke to in the
letter
and what that is is the
mentorship and the skills that
our youth acquire through the
activities where it be sports
concern, whether it be sports or
other extracurricular
activities, things like that and
how that really shapes them into
being contributing members of
our society in the future.
Sorry im a little nervous,
laughter,
Jedediah yeah,
and have you heard from any Cuds
over the last few months who
havent been able to engage in
these activities? What the
impact thats been on them
yeah I have
its been really difficult for
them.
Obviously, their day to day
activities have changed
completely.
They went from going to school
every day being able to
participate and compete in the
sport and activities they really
enjoy and love to none of it
and just really the impact that
thats had on their mental
well being their lack of
motivation and just overall
overwhelming difficulties with
the situation.
Jedediah so and weve receive
good news. Obviously, with these
gym reopening with work getting
back into its beginning to
rush to normal at least a bit
little by little
is what are you hoping for in
the next coming weeks and months
in terms of that return to
normalcy and given what youll
be able to do in your job and
for the kids
yeah.
Obviously, my hope is that the
gyms will remain open.
There are a number of
restrictions in place and I
hope people follow those
precautions so that we can keep
the gyms and other facilities
open.
We can keep our athletes safe,
physically,
but again also mentally.
I think thats to is so
important for our kids to have
that for their health and
well being
and, like I mentioned a couple
times mentally and physically
thats really important to us
so its again following the
safety recautions to
precautions, to allow us to
compete and play the sports that
we love
Jedediah. Well, thanks, so much
for being here,
a high school sports coach. That
is a really really tough job.
So we commend you and wish you.
