What happens when...
We give tools used by professionals
to students for use learning?
We guide rather than demand?
And give leave to follow tangents and create?
We take the time to listen?
We respect the views of youth?
Do they learn to learn like professionals?
Do they learns skill lasting a lifetime, that
they, in turn, pass on?
Do they develop creativity and apply it?
Do they find their own paths?
Do they share their adventures?
What happens when …
We gently coach and guide young athletes?
We scaffold the training to improve without
destroying their psychology?
We build mental strength as we build physical?
We gain athletes with a life balance?
Do they develop confidence instead of fear?
Do they learn to set goals and strive to achieve,
Capable of exceeding all their own expectations?
Do they support teammates and cheer for competitors?
Do they value compassion and sportsmanship?
Do they develop a strong, positive work ethic,
Sharing love of sport and all the positives it brings?
If we are careful, the answer is a resounding YES!
