"Time
Out: Helping Our Kids Navigate Stress and Competitive Pressure
and Avoid Burnout"
When:
April
7, 2010, 7:00pm
Where:
Conestoga High School
Guest
Speaker: Bob Rigby
More
than ever before, our kids are involved in and committed
to academics and numerous extra-curricular activities offering
additional performance enhancement opportunities, in order
to “take it to the next level” of achievement.
How much is too much?
Bob
Rigby, a school counselor, administrator and private therapist,
will address the issues of stress, competitive pressure
and burnout experienced by today’s kids and the positive
and negative roles that parents can play. Across the playing
fields of academics and extracurricular activities such
as sports, music and dance, these issues are consistently
cited by kids as a significant, harmful problem in their
lives. Bob is in a unique position to offer suggestions
and insight into these issues having experienced the full
gamut from student athlete to professional athlete, coach,
teacher, parent and counselor. Bob was a First Team College
All American soccer goalie, a member of the US Olympic and
US National teams, and played professionally in the North
American Soccer League (NASL) for 13 years. During his athletic
career he was the first soccer player to grace the cover
of Sports Illustrated. Bob brings a wealth of experience
and knowledge to the table as he shares his perspective
on how parents can help their kids define how they measure
success and make positive choices in their lives.
