More than 45 million children play youth sports in the United
States each year, and most are coached by parent volunteers with
good intentions but little training. This lack of training and an
overemphasis on winning often results in stress and frustration for
coaches and players alike, which can discourage young athletes so
much that they walk away from sports altogether. With this new
guide for amateur parent coaches, Dr. Jennifer Etnier, author of
Bring Your 'A' Game, aims to change that. Dr. Etnier offers a
system of positive coaching that can be applied to any sport, from
the beginner level to high school athletics, and explains that good
coaching requires working with young athletes at their
developmental level and providing feedback designed to keep
children engaged and having fun. Etnier gives easy-to-understand
guidance on important aspects of successful coaching-including
information on the development of children's motor skills,
communication with a young athlete's parents, and nurturing a
growth-oriented mind-set-making this a critical resource for youth
coaches of all experience levels.
