The nightly news shows parents fighting with one another, coaches lying about the age of their players, and the young athletes imitating the showboating and trash-talking antics of the professional leagues. In response, districts have tried to come up with Pledges in which participants agree to certain good sportsmanship rules, however without a complete rethink of youth sports and a practical program for implementing sportsmanship such Pledges are just words. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\tJim Thompson, Director of the Positive Coaching Alliance, provides a new foundation for youth sports. Thompson offers coaches and parents the essential tools to combine the desire to win with the more important goal of using sports to teach life lessons and build character in young athletes. The Double-Goal Coach draws from current sport psychology and proven coaching techniques to provide coaches and parents the practical tools that can be used to make youth sports a fun and enriching experience. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Morrow Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"US - Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":48094208622819,"sku":"DTRHCUS-9780060505318","price":112.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/9780060505318.jpg?v=1770660452","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/en-mo\/products\/9780060505318","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
