Successfully coach youth sports and create life-changing moments with your own children
Whether you have been coaching for years or are brand new, join us as we explore the key points to successful coaching in youth sports.
Learn how to bond with your children as you coach them in sport and life.
We all want a life of fulfillment, significance, and impact, and that is why we coach.
No matter how your journey as a coach began, you are leading young lives to enjoy sports and grow into successful adults. You have the unique opportunity to change their lives forever and live in their memories as a mentor and leader. It is your chance to assist them as they not only learn to play sports but also learn how to apply those lessons to life. Leadership, teamwork, hard work, determination, and so many more traits are learned through coaches at practices and games.
Thank you for deciding to help coach, mentor, and train our youth to become successful and productive members of society!
You're not alone on this journey
There are over 45 million youth playing sports in the US. If there are 10-15 players per team, that means there are 3-4.5 million teams with coaches.
Nearly half of all coaches are volunteers and are doing it for the love of the sport or their children.
That doesn’t mean they know what they are doing, or are doing it right; they are simply doing the best they know how. No matter the sport, there are key principles and everyone should know, and I will teach you those.
Nothing is more important than the relationship between kids and their parents. Coaching your kids can have a huge impact on that relationship, either positive or negative. You spend hours each week with them at practice and at games, in tense and calm moments, and of course the dreaded car rides. These are opportunities to build or break your relationships. Join me on this journey as we explore ways to build and strengthen that bond while coaching them.
