Inclusion

Long-time Play Like a Champion partner Dobie Moser discusses the importance of inclusion and diversity in our athletic programs today. It's our responsibility to assure that all children get the opportunity to participate. In-fact, including more children in our programs will benefit everyone involved! Watch the video , then evaluate your own program and consider: Who is missing from your program? How can you invite them to join you?

Trauma Sensitive & Responsive Coaching

From difficult circumstances at home to issues in their community, young people today are exposed to a variety of situations that can induce trauma. It's critical that coaches have strategies when this is the case; children and adolescents can't simply check their trauma at the door of your team. Play Like a Champion is here to help, with dedicated resources to help you understand and respond to the children.

Visit our Trauma Sensitive & Responsive Coaching web page and access resources you can use on your team.

A Prayer for Your Athletes

God, Let me play well but fairly, help me to learn something that matters once the game is over. Let competition make me strong but never hostile. Always let me help my opponent up. Never catch me rejoicing in the adversity of others. If I know victory, allow me to be happy; if I am denied, keep me from envy. Remind me that sports are just games. If through athletics I set an example, let it be a good one. Amen.
