For the millions of parents watching the Olympics with their children, Positive Coaching Alliance offers Teachable Moments While Watching The Olympics to help parents teach kids life lessons while watching the Games together.
The PDF is part of their ongoing blog updates and addition of free online resources – some featuring past Olympians who serve on PCA’s National Advisory Board
-- to help youth sports coaches, parents, student-athletes and
administrators draw inspiration and information from the Olympics that
can positively impact youth. For example, their most recent post, about Katie Ledecky, is written by her high school athletic director, sharing unique stories and an interesting glimpse into her personality.
Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) develops BETTER ATHLETES, BETTER PEOPLE
through resources for youth and high school sports coaches, parents,
administrators and student-athletes. In addition to 1,000+ free
audio-video and printable tips and tools at www.PCADevZone.org,
PCA has partnered with roughly 3,500 schools and youth sports
organizations nationwide to deliver live group workshops, online courses
and books by PCA Founder Jim Thompson that help those involved in youth
and high school sports create a positive, character-building youth
sports culture.
PCA resources, which have reached more than 8.6 million youth, strive to transform high school and youth sports into a Development ZoneTM
culture, where the goal is to develop Better Athletes, Better People
and the following become the prevailing models in youth and high school
sports:
· The Double-Goal Coach®, who strives to win while also pursuing the more important goal of teaching life lessons through sports
· The Second-Goal Parent®, who concentrates on life lessons, while letting coaches and athletes focus on competing
· The Triple-Impact Competitor®, who strives to impact sport on three levels by improving oneself, teammates and the game as a whole.
PCA gains support from a National Advisory Board,
including National Spokesperson and 11-time NBA Champion Coach
Phil Jackson, and many other top coaches, athletes, organization leaders
and academics who share PCA’s mission.
