Palo Alto, CA - February 17 - As any sports parent and too many youth athletes will tell you, it's not easy to find a great coach. That's part of the reason Positive Coaching Alliance exists: to help develop great youth sports coaches. We do that daily in our live and online workshops through instruction and interaction, and we do it annually through inspiration, finding coaches who are already great, honoring them with PCA's Double-Goal Coach Award® presented by Liberty Mutual, and holding those coaches up as examples for more coaches to emulate.
This year, we honor these 20, who embody Double-Goal Coaching, whose first goal is winning, and whose second, more-important goal is teaching life lessons through sports:
