Great Quotation

The values learned on the playing field --
how to set goals, endure, take criticism and risks, become team players, use our beliefs, stay healthy, and deal with stress --
prepare us for life.

-- Donna de Varona, Olympic swimmer

Coaches and Players

"A coach can be the most important person in a kid’s life because he or she controls playing time, knowledge, and modeling. Because kids want to please them, coaches can reach children where no one else can, making them at times more effective than teachers, counselors, even parents."

How do you feel about parents coaching their child's team?
