Youth are dropping out of sports at an alarming rate. Why? A major contributing factor is the "win at all cost" mentality of many coaches and parents that creates a pressure-filled environment for the kids and ultimately turns them away from sports.

Coaches will largely determine the kind of experience players have with sports, so it is important they act in a way that honors the game. Coaches of Excellence is a comprehensive training program for coaches and parents to ensure all young athletes have the opportunity to develop positive character traits, build self-confidence, and to learn "life lessons" while playing competitive sports.
