Get your youth softball questions answered
6/29/2009
Each week, we ask fans of Responsible Sports "What Would You Do?" in response to our weekly Responsible Sports Scenario Question. And many of you write in with scenario questions of your own! There are too many to get through them all with just one weekly scenario question. So we've asked Tina Syer, Associate Director at Positive Coaching Alliance, to answer one of your suggested questions each week.
Have you had an issue with a coach that you didn’t know how to handle? Is it difficult to approach your youth athlete about their on-the-field performance? Join the Responsible Sports Dialog by suggesting a scenario question from your own youth sport experience. So far, Tina’s answered questions about commitment, intervention strategies, playing time, and team performance.
For example, one question that came in from the Responsible Sports community was “Members of your child's team are moving to an elite level next year and the coach wants your child to come along. Your child wants to play but you're not sure he/she will commit the time/effort to participate properly at that level and think they may be better off remaining at the current level. What do you tell your child?” See Tina’s response. >>
