This form lets coaches evaluate themselves in terms of pursuing both goals of a Positive Coach, winning and the even more important goal of teaching life lessons through sports. There are check-boxes for various actions a Positive Coach would take to ensure Coaching for Mastery of Sport, not just scoreboard wins, as well as Filling emotional Tanks and Honoring the Game.
Use this form occasionally to make sure you stay on the right track in helping the youth athletes you serve get all they can from their youth and high school sports experiences.
