Million Coaches Challenge Impact: Training School-Based Coaches in Youth Development

 
 

There are hundreds of thousands high school coaches employed in the United States with thousands of others serving as coaches in formal and informal ways. The organizations of the Million Coaches Challenge are committed to equipping a generation of coaches with the knowledge and tools to help young people thrive on and off the playing field. Many partners of Million Coaches Challenge are working in the school space and seeing the impact of training of youth development on school-based coaches.

As more states adopt policies that require training in areas of youth development for school-based coaches, what has been the impact on sports programs and how have leaders made decisions and balancing requirements for coaches. Hear from leaders who have seen the impact of these trainings at the national, state, district and building level.

Speakers include:

  • Kevin Connors, Susan Crown Exchange
  • Dawn Anderson-Butcher, LiFEsports at the Ohio State University
  • Doug Ute, Ohio High School Athletic Association
  • Jennifer Peterson, UW Center for Leadership in Athletics
  • Bill Faflick, Kansas State High School Athletic Association
  • Moderator: Vincent Minjares, Aspen Institute Project Play
 

Project Play, the signature initiative of the Aspen Institute's Sports & Society Program, develops, applies, and shares knowledge that builds healthy communities through sports. As articulated in its 8 Plays, Project Play is also committed to Train All Coaches. Project Play is facilitating learning opportunities across the organizations of the Million Coaches Challenge in partnership with American Institutes for Research and Collaborative Communications.
