There aren’t many more fulfilling activities for adults than to coach youth sports. It’s a way to stay involved in a sport they love (or want to get more involved in) and it’s an opportunity to make a positive impact on the next generation. Sports can often be used as a metaphor for life, so while your job is to help young athletes on the field, court, or ice, you’re also helping shape their personality for every-day life.

One of the things that makes lacrosse such a great sport is the fact that it’s a very fast-moving game. Certain plays and situations on the lax field can take shape at the drop of a hat, so players need to be alert at all times. Since this athletic endeavor is so fast-moving, that means players don’t have much time to think.

Trust can start forming when you overcome whatever [Read More>]
