From research that has taken place on youth sports, to the structure you should use when starting your team, and the importance of winning, this book gives you valuable information for you as a coach. A coach will learn the science of how a player learns and techniques to be used to increase motivation. The best coaches are the best teachers and this book gives coaches the most important tricks that great teachers use.
The values which can accrue from youth sport participation are many including: increased fitness, mental acuity, positive attitudes, social development, and self-esteem. Unfortunately there can also be negative consequences from participation. The development of these qualities in youth sport, whether positive or negative, are dependent upon the environment provided by the leaders of youth sport.
This book provides a guide, based upon the most current research, regarding youth sport … including both the “uses and abuses”, as well as tips for parents’ coaches, fans, and leaders in youth sport as to how we can ensure that children can reap only positive benefits from youth sport participation.
