Youth Sport Culture Edition.
An athletes’ values, attitudes and beliefs about sports competition is influenced by experiences. Coaches and Parents, this is for you.
Over the last year, The Physical Movement has focused on the individual pieces of the puzzle that create a positive youth sports experience. A positive experience through sports participation can influence an young person to adopt healthy habits and perspectives.
A positive culture is the expression of an individual and team’s values, attitudes, and beliefs about sports and competition. The coach takes a leading role in building a strong culture.
A positive culture is not created by talking about culture. Rather, it is sum of leadership, proactive communication, role modelling on high standards of beliefs and attitudes.
How a young athlete communicates, their sense of gratitude, body language and overall engagement in the experience is dictated by the tone the coach sets.
The coach needs a toolbox and game plan to be able to instill a positive culture with their athletes and teams.
In this edition, The Physical Movement provides insight into 21topics for your toolbox. A collection from our last 52 editions.
Let’s keep the standards high and experience positive!
