BECOME A POSITIVE COACH
6 positive coaching alliance workshops in L.A.
LOS ANGELES – The City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks will hold six Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) workshops in March 2006.
Each two-hour session, which is open to the public and offered at no charge, provides coaches and parents with tools they can use to become “Double-Goal” coaches – those who look to achieve athletic success and also build character in their players. Participants will also learn how to “Redefine a Winner,” “Fill the Emotional Tank” of athletes, and “Honor the Game.”
The presentations are part of an ongoing series of workshops for people who work to establish and maintain a positive athletic environment for Southern California youth. The programs are made possible by grants from the Amateur Athletic Foundation, Nike, and PCA.
