Little League Positive Coaching Webinar
Received the following email from Little League today about a webinar they are hosting. My favorite part of the email is this “Instruction in Little League Double-Goal Coaching methods, where your first goal is winning and your second, more-important goal is teaching life lessons through sports.” We all need to remember the impact we have on these kids. Who doesn’t remember their Little League coach?

It is a workshop or lecture delivered over the Web and participants listen in through the phone. A webinar is a very collaborative experience that includes polling and question & answer sessions to allow full participation between the audience and the presenter.

Don’t Pass Judgment

I have to admit that too many parents pass judgment on other team’s coaches without knowing the entire story. How can a coach be too competitive when he doesn’t sit his players for more than 2 innings in a game while the team he is playing against lets 3 of his players only play the minimums?
Why would a coach let an extra slow player run into outs instead of pinch running for her? Aren’t more life lessons learned if every player on the team has a clearly defined role and they perfectly execute that role? Isn’t that what teamwork is about? Isn’t that one of the best life lessons we can teach as coaches?
