The majority of youth sport leagues in the United States utilize volunteer parents as coaches. While there are many benefits to this coaching model, such as a commitment to the team, to helping the kids do their best, and to building lifelong friendships with other parents, volunteer parents often do not adequately understand what we at Coach Right USA call the other side of coaching. That is, how to properly provide feedback to different age groups, including how, where, and when appropriate feedback should be delivered based on the developmental needs of the children.
This can often mean the difference between between youth sports being a positive or negative force in a child’s life. If you review blogs from coaches and parents, and in speaking with coaches and parents from a variety of leagues and sports, it’s clear some parents and coaches do more harm than good. Self-esteem and confidence can be built, or torn down, depending on how coaches and parents speak to children, help them handle adversity, and understanding how winning and losing affect children psychologically.
That’s why at Coach Right USA we’ve developed a certification program for all youth sports leagues, coaches and parents!
