St. John Athletic Association is welcoming the community to an evening of fellowship, where attendees will workshop how to harness the spirit of a champion as it relates to coaching in youth sports, with special guest speaker Mark Viviano. The event is set for November 4 from 6:30pm-8:30pm in the school auditorium.
The athletic department at St. John follows the Play Like a Champion model of coaching in which the goodness of sports is sought after. In this model, coaches can augment the X's and O's aspects of coaching by incorporating a strategy to help athletes strive to be champions through goal setting, responsibility and ownership.
Play Like a Champion Today is an independent 501(c)(3) dedicated to providing leadership in a worldwide effort to change the culture of youth sports through education and consultancy. Since 2006, Play Like a Champion has served over 160,000 coaches and parents through a network of over 280 partners across the United States and Canada. Play Like a Champion addresses the core elements of effective coaching: motivation, team-building and leadership. Scientifically based and ethically directed, Play Like a Champion designs its educational programs to promote children's physical, social, emotional and moral development to last a lifetime.
The organization advocates youth sports as a safety net for children from distressed families, schools and neighborhoods. All children deserve an opportunity to play, to be physically active, to have caring adult mentors, and to be a part of team.
