Is your coach PCA’s next Coach of the Year?

There are so many coaches who have positively impacted the kids they mentor, and Positive Coaching Alliance wants to honor these amazing individuals.

• The coach teaches life skills through sports.
• They encourage athletes to focus on their effort and not be afraid of making mistakes, because that is how you improve.
• They support athletes by focusing on positive reinforcement instead of motivating through fear, intimidation, or shame.
• They promote behaving respectfully, as the best version of oneself, towards the rules of competition, officials, opponents, and teammates.
• They create an environment of belonging with focus on equity and inclusion.
• They work to advocate for access for all kids to play by helping to remove barriers such as cost and equipment.
• They display empathy and compassion in their approach to coaching.

Simply put, we call a coach with these qualities a Double-Goal Coach®- coaching to win while also pursuing the more important goal of teaching life skills through sports.
