                                                                                            Elgin Baylor: "The Human Highlight Reel"

On this day, September 16, 1934 - exactly 86 years ago - Elgin Baylor was born in Washington, D.C. Austin Knoblauch (2011) from the Los Angeles Times describes him as, “One of the greatest and most exciting players in NBA history." Baylor was a human highlight reel, who became a star basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers. It is also no secret that he was one of the sole reasons the Los Angeles Lakers (then Minneapolis Lakers), were able to stay in business. Bob Short, the owner of Minneapolis Lakers, is often quoted to say that their club could have gone bankrupt without Baylor.  Baylor now has a statue outside the Staples Center, where the Los Angeles Lakers play, to commemorate his achievements.

Back to School: Helping Your Child get back on Track Following the Pandemic 1. Do not be afraid to ask for help Returning to in-person learning is new for all of us! Help your child feel confident in asking their teachers, counselors, and or other school administrators for assistance in any adjustments to their daily routine as they are getting back to the classroom. Our Royal Staff is happy to share anything we’re seeing and hearing, as thousands of students have returned to school over the past week. There is no replacement for face-to-face interaction, and we’re excited to see schools re-open for much needed in-person learning.  2. Create a checklist  There is nothing wrong with a good old fashioned list or white board to remind us of things that we need to accomplish, and make sure our families are in sync! Families who write things down and use that source as a reference, find it to be extremely helpful -- especially in managing the busy schedules of families with student athletes

Being an Exemplary Youth Sport's Parent - Part 1

Shouting abusive comments, stomping their feet, yelling at the referees, mocking the coach; we all know a negative youth sport's parent when we see one. These images are never a good sight at a youth basketball game. Other parents sitting in close proximity feel embarrassed to be associated with them. Their own child watches on in bewilderment at the actions of their parent. There’s really no place for a parent that acts this way in youth sports. Sports are competitive. It’s easy for parents to get caught up in the game, just like the players and coaches do. Every parent wants their child to have success. Unfortunately, this adult fueled competitive nature, and the innate parental desire to see your child to succeed has led many parents to forget what is really important in youth sports. We also have parents who come to games, sit happily on the sidelines encouraging their kid, and appreciate the enjoyment their child is having no matter what numbers say on the scoreboard. These ar

Being an Exemplary Youth Sport's Parent - Part 2

Here are seven strategies that parents can learn, to optimize their child's love and passion for their sport of choice. 1. Model Positive Behaviors Be a positive role model for your child. Sports should be an extension of your familial values and behaviors, not a suspension of them. Try to be an encouraging parent. Refrain from banter about competitors, or loudly second-guessing the coach. The players and coaches are all trying their best, and all players develop at different times 2. See the Future, Enjoy the Present Are you consistently looking towards the next level, the next team, the next season? If you are, you’re missing out on the most important game, the one being played today! If you’re not enjoying the present moment, your child will grow up before you realize it. 3. Encourage Healthy Risk Taking Challenge you child to take risk, by saying, “I love how you really went for it out there on that one play. You didn’t get it, but I was so proud that you didn’t give up!” Stron
