Programs

Our goal is to educate all adults involved in youth sports so your children have the best possible experience. All of Coaching Coaches’ programs can be delivered in-person or online. In addition, Coaching Coaches offers all of our programs in either faith or non-faith based formats.  Our online programs can be viewed on computer, tablet or smart phone.  Please click on the below program offerings for more details.

If the in-person or online format is not the best option for you or your organization, my book Beyond the Skills and Drills: The Keys to Successfully Coaching Youth Sports is based on all my training programs especially “Coaching to Make a Positive Difference”. The book, audio book or e-book are three additional aways to receive the same great training and information.

COACHING PROGRAMS

Coaching to Make a Positive Difference Program

The coaches’ training program, is a highly effective approach to training coaches on the
value of a youth sports program and creating an environment which will not only develop a
child’s athletic skills, but also retain the children from year to year. The overall goal is to
create, for everyone involved in youth sports, the best possible sporting experience. It all
starts with an educated coach. Coaching is teaching. This program is designed to educate coaches on the tactics and strategies of teaching. All too often, we have coaches who know a sport, but have not developed the art of teaching. Children and parents will continually seek a program and a team which has the best teachers. Effective teaching requires course work and experience. The program provides the necessary course work. Click for more details

Looking in the Mirror Program

This second program is designed as a recertification for those who have completed the Coaching to Make a Positive Difference course or a stand-alone program for our more experienced coaches. Typically, a coach spends most of his/her time looking outward and
assessing everything, but their own coaching style. Sport programs will only grow and improve when its coaches look inward and makes changes that help their overall program. When you have done something for a long time, it is difficult to make those changes unless you consciously sit down and reflect on your own performance. The program is a real eye
opener and very effective for our more experienced coaches. Click for more details

PARENT PROGRAM

Positive Parent Participation Program

Coaching Coaches also offers a parent program designed to highlight a parent’s role in youth sports. The parents are a vital component of the “triangle” that Coaching Coaches promotes. The “triangle” consists of: Child, Coach and Parent. Coaching Coaches believes that those three groups all play a major role in the success of any season. Typically, youth organizations solely focus on the child and the coach. We are convinced that the parents must understand and agree to their role, understand the expectations of the organization, commit to the organization’s mission and support the organization, the team and, of course, their child. That seems like a reasonable “ask”. However, for many parents, their role is not clear and therefore, their actions end up undermining the mission, the organization and their own child. We need parents to better understand their role in youth sports. Click for more details
