Inspiring Youth Coaches to Provide Respectful and Encouraging Support: Volume 2

By Bill Gosse

Aside from a child's parents, grandparents, or adult influencers, only one person in youth sports is more important - a child's coach. Based on the emphasis placed on sports in today's society, this is an extremely vital person in their life. An individual can go a long way in determining whether a child will pursue sports in the future. These coaches have opportunities to provide positive, worthwhile, long-lasting experiences or potentially scar kids for life. This second book in the series is for coaches and youth developers, that organized sports can be a great environment for kids to learn decision-making skills when they lead the right way. However, good decision-making is a complex process that sometimes takes years to master. Are coaches given enough time with their programs to help kids develop proper decision-making fundamentals? Do coaches have enough patience to wait for kids to develop great decision-making skills? Better yet, do parents have enough patience to allow coaches to teach the players proper decision-making, or must they win now?
