One of the important traits I have emphasized frequently
over the years in my writing on youth sports is one that I believe is
under-valued: humility. That may seem to
be a foreign notion given our modern-day propensity for believing that
“success” is driven by positive self-esteem and self-confidence. But humility,
to me, remains an essential individual quality—a true virtue, to use an
old-fashioned word—in the ongoing and healthy development of young athletes
(and people in general).
Youth Sports is about so much more than winning. Our goal is to help youth coaches become better communicators, which will help them to build character and confidence in the young athletes they coach.
