09:05 Preventing youth sport burnout
A look at the changes underway in youth sport to boost participation and skill development and prevent burnout.
New Zealand Rugby, Netball, Football Hockey and Cricket have pledged to take the emphasis away from specialisation and representative teams and place it on fun and development. Ice Hockey in the US began similar changes 10 years ago. To discuss how is it going so far - the technical director behind that programme, Ken Martel, Sport New Zealand Talent Development Manager Alex Chiet and and North Harbour, head of rugby engagement and participation Bill Wigglesworth.

A mass musical disruption is coming to the Capital as part of the CubaDupa festival next month. 500 muscians will line Cuba Street from one end to the other and perform an original score by Wellington composer John Psathas. Add in a sound system across multiple city blocks and a locally-invented Tesla coil that can be played like a keyboard and shoots lightning into its surrounding and you've got Cubasonic. Lynn's guests are John Psathas and CubaDupa director Gerry Paul. CubaDupa is on March 28 and 29 in Wellington.
