Youth sports experience provides
opportunities for children to learn
important lessons about determination,
commitment, hard work, teamwork, and
empathy while acquiring increased self-
confidence and positive character traits.

I believe that positive coaching can
increase an athlete's self-esteem and self-
confidence, which results in more
enjoyment from participating, which
causes a child to be more likely to continue
playing.

I also believe that positive coaching is the
realm of youth athletics and presents a
tremendous opportunity for athletes to
develop life skills that will serve them well
beyond the playing field. Thus, providing a
positive and favorable playing environment
should be the goal of every youth sports
organization leader, coach, and parent.

I’m looking forward to the 2011 Track &
Field Season.
