Reviews for Coaching Youth Sports: Guidelines to Ensure Development of Young Athletes

The values which can accrue from youth sport participation are many including: increased fitness, mental acuity, positive attitudes, social development, and self-esteem. Unfortunately there can also be negative consequences from participation. The development of these qualities in youth sport, whether positive or negative, are dependent upon the environment provided by the leaders of youth sport. This book provides a guide, based upon the most current research, regarding youth sport ... including both the uses and abuses , as well as tips for parents' coaches, fans, and leaders in youth sport as to how we can ensure that children can reap only positive benefits from youth sport participation. -- Mimi Murray, PhD, certified consultant sport psychology, professor emeritus Sport & Exercise Psychology, Springfield College
