iTHrive Youth Sports Coaching

• Do you feel like you are not getting the most from your players?
• Is your team lacking motivation & resilience?
• Do your players lack confidence & give up too easily?

As a father of three active kids who play a variety of sports I take an active interest in youth sports. Positive Psychology can be easily and successfully integrated in to the world of youth sports coaching. If you are involved in coaching youth sports have a look at our Positive Club Culture workshop.

Positive Psychology can have a significant beneficial impact on the wellbeing of players and athletes. A number of studies show significant relationships between optimism, strengths focus, process praise and sporting performance in youth sports.

The workshop offers a variety of very effective tools to assist coaches motivate players and enhance their sporting performance by building on the positives while learning from what can be improved. It shifts the focus of coaching from the single-minded “win-at-all-cost” model which develops strategies with the sole purpose of winning games, to a model that focuses on winning as well as on the development of positive character traits that promote success in all areas of life. A Positive Coach puts players first and allows them to learn life lessons from the game ultimately helping them master the game of life.
