The Positive Coaching Alliance was featured in an article by Amy Gardner of The Washington Post, who attended a PCA workshop for sports parents at Burke Athletic Club and “caught them doing things right.”

Letting parents and coaches know the main word to remember is  “FUN” sets the stage for a great clinic.

Read the article and then pass it along.  Leave  your comments and then go out with your kids and enjoy some great youth sporting events.

gameface Recommended Reading   Get Your Game Face On by Kathy ToonSingle Dad Life is recommending a limited-time opportunity to download  free a new book, Get Your Game Face On, by Kathy Toon, a long-time Positive Coaching Alliance Trainer and former PCA Product Development Manager. Get Your Game Face On incorporates many Positive Coaching Alliance techniques, such as using a Mistake Ritual to help athletes bounce back from mistakes.

In true PCA fashion, Game Face knits together life lessons and sports. For example, while the book prescribes specific mental steps to take during competition, it also explores how daily life away from sports contributes to athletic performance.
