Welcome to Taking You Beyond the Game

For those of you visiting this site for the first time, welcome!

Professionally, I’ve worked in the communications field for more than thirty years and have been involved in sports—particularly the youth sports world—for about twenty-five years.

Through the many articles and books we have written over the years, we have always tried to provide some simple, but highly effective and practical tips for youth coaches to integrate as they build relationships with young players—and their parents.

We also try to instil some important values in our writings and seminars. We hope you will take a moment to read some of what we have to offer. While our articles are copyrighted, we generally are glad to give permission to organizations who might like to utilize one of our pieces for instructional purposes. If you are interested, simply contact us at michael@prospectcommunications.com

We have developed many articles over the years geared to the youth sports community- administrators, Clubs, parents and most particularly youth coaches.We often receive correspondence from Clubs or individuals wanting to know about our book offerings, or for permission to re-print a particular article.
