Introduction

This book is for the many people that have experienced some of their deepest passions from sports. It is about players, coaches, and parents. My desire is that the reader rekindles whatever passion he/she has previously experienced, or is currently experiencing in youth sports.

Hopefully, one can learn from my experiences, and use them to create positive outcomes with their children. Sport is a universal language that impacts countless people throughout the world.

The Drama of Sports

It is a drama of the body and mind that is often played out in front of audiences. Even persons who were only casual players in their younger days can be avid fans. They care deeply about the competition, and whether their team plays well and wins.

Then, there are the perpetual participants, as evidenced by the explosive growth of adult sport programs.
