Our sportsmanship booklet, Build Your Child's Self-Esteem Through Sports
The booklet is a guide for parents and coaches on how to interact appropriately with their players. Recreation departments, sports leagues, and schools will all be able to use this concise manual. It explains specifically how we go wrong and how to correct our mistakes.

We believe the booklet will be a major step toward helping kids have fun and feel better about themselves whether or not they are good athletes.

Rick Wolff
CHAIRMAN OF THE CENTER FOR SPORTS PARENTING AND HOST OF WFAN RADIO'S "THE SPORTS EDGE":

Stan Van Gundy

"I believe that practical information about helping boost children's self-esteem through sport does not come any better than is contained in this guide. . . Every parent and proponent of youth sports should read this booklet."

Dr. David B. Coppel
CLINICAL AND SPORT PSYCHOLOGIST, AND PROFESSOR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON MEDICAL SCHOOL:

"This is a booklet I would recommend to any youth sport parent."

Katey Stone

"It's a must read for parents and coaches of young children involved in sport. A great resource with some essential guidelines to live by."

Ben Olsen

"A must read for adults involved in youth sport. This booklet offers a wealth of wisdom on how to support children in their sports endeavors and build self-esteem."

Mike Fess
FORMER HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL COACH:

"This booklet is an outstanding resource…As a fan, coach, and parent, I found it an excellent guideline for those who shape, teach, and influence our kids."

"It provided solutions instead of just pointing out the problems. The part about burning out and specialization is especially relevant since some kids have decided before middle school what they want to pursue."
