Social Media/Instagram as a training aid?

[DropInTheBucket]

Trying to approach this with some thought and value opinions from any fellow parents.

DD 12u enjoys the game, is naturally athletic etc., but once practice or games are over, she turns off the "switch" until the next event.

I understand this is healthy and ideal from my perspective and is good to me.

There are some great training tips, drills, replays I come across on Instagram that would be awesome to directly send her as a learning tool, but we haven't allowed her an account to this point.

How do you handle the benefit/drawback of using Social Media as a learning tool while minimizing the negatives?

We don't allow our DD (11yo) on any social media. Social media can get so toxic. So far she hasn't even asked. When she does we will reevaluate which one she wants access to. I use a program called Qustodio on her phone and computer. Works well across multiple platforms and has lots of adjustability in the permissions. If there is something really worth showing her I let her see it on my phone. I know in the past other teammates have unrestricted phones and are watching Tiktok videos with drinking, smoking etc. in it. Not what I want my kid exposed to at this age.

There are remote training apps out there for the coaches to use that are fully visible by the parent as well. Coach Now comes to mind.

Very cool software, thanks for the recommendation on Qustudio!

On Android, Maybe I can figure out a way to just screen record the instagram videos and send them as a message.
