  5. MATURATIONAL IMPROVEMENTDr. James Humphrey Late Maturers – smaller (ectomorphs) more likely Olympians Don’t have control over biology – don’t punish them – KEEP ‘EM coming back for years. Involve in skill development programs. Create ways to experience success and improvement compared to themselves or other Late Maturers. Post improvement scores Reward personal improvement Workout results for themselves Skill development competitions Self-consciousness impacts self-worth Be sensitive to boys’ self-esteem. Don’t let the lows get too low. Early Maturers – taller, heavier, muscle (mesomorphs) Advantage in speed, power, and endurance Better regardless of skill Success breeds reinforcement and recognition until H.S. when only 25% are as successful. Frustrated when late maturers catch or pass them leading to ridicule. Drop-out around age 14 from lack of success and reduction in attention. Move up in competitions to experience defeat but practice with peers. Be sensitive to girls self-esteem. Don‘t let the highs get too high. EDUCATE the PARENTS of BOTH GROUP FOR UNDERSTANDING, ACCPETANCE, ESTEEM
