“Outside of parenting there might not be a better platform than coaching to transform boys and girls into healthy and thriving men and women.” This quote is from the book InSideOut Coaching and it is so true. There are decades now of data that shows the negative impact on young people, especially girls when they are coached by transactional coaches. The same is true when coaches are transformational. Too many times parents will sale their kids out to transactional coaches for playtime or name on the front of the jersey while their kid becomes part of the data of kids who were not transformed but are left feeling diminished and discouraged by the very activity that should strengthen, encourage and redeem them.
