Seminar Philosophy
|
The guiding philosophies behind the Principles of Positive Coaching seminars are straightforward: A coach makes a lasting impact on the lives of athletes, and a coach is more than a leader on the field. Coaches who attend a Principles of Positive Coaching session will take away coaching and youth development concepts and techniques that can be immediately applied to their coaching situation.
Benefits derived from a Positive Coaching Seminar include a more satisfying and enjoyable experience for the coach, the athletes, and the parents who are aware of the important role coaches play in shaping their children's future. |

"I have always believed that as a coach, if we provide a positive experience for those individuals we guide, then those lessons can last a lifetime."
