Beyond Xs and Os: Social-Emotional Learning in Building Stronger Communities with Scott Snyder

In this episode, we sit down with Scott Snyder, Senior Director of Sport Development at the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO), to explore his personal journey and deep understanding of social-emotional learning (SEL). Scott’s career has spanned over two decades, from professional soccer player to coach and educator, and his unique insights into the power of emotional intelligence in youth development offer valuable lessons for both individuals and communities. We dive into how SEL shapes resilience, influences families, and fosters emotional well-being, not only in children but also in the adults who mentor them. Through Scott’s experiences, we gain a deeper understanding of the intersection between personal growth, emotional intelligence, and resilience.
