We're partnering with @ESPN and @Disney on Take Back Sports, a national campaign to bring joy and fun back to youth sports. Too many kids are leaving sports at an early age. It’s time to put them first. bit.ly/4lYl4EN

Growth happens when athletes feel safe to try new things without added pressure. By creating positive environments for athletes to be themselves, we encourage them to become unique individuals and athletes.

One simple rule: hats on = coach and athlete. Hats off = dad and son.
Creating clear boundaries after games helps young athletes feel valued for more than their performance and strengthens the relationships that matter most.

Athletes thrive when they feel safe being themselves.
When coaches and leaders foster environments where every athlete feels valued and respected, they help young people grow not only as athletes, but as people.

Teams are at their best when athletes are able to find joy in the game.
When coaches create positive environments centered on the fun of the game rather than solely the scoreboard, athletes are more likely to develop a lifelong love of the sport.

When life gets busy, it can be easy for athletes to forget to prioritize their mental health. As coaches and parents/caregivers, it’s our job to remind them that their mental wellness is more important than any match or score.

Watch together. Ask questions. Help them think critically about what they see and who information is coming from.

Mistakes are part of the process. What matters is how athletes respond in the moment.
When athletes can reset quickly and lean on one another, they build resilience, confidence, and stronger teams.
