Topic > How youth coaches have a negative influence on youth teams...

Ultimately, anything a coach can say or do badly, this is how the team can behave during the match. However, if a coach has expressed positive sportsmanship, the team or players have a better chance of playing at a higher level and playing with sportsmanship. Additionally, if coaches don't just focus on winning, but rather on learning and having fun, kids are more likely to be encouraged to stay out for sports. Studies have shown that children are not interested in winning, they are interested in learning the game and having fun. Coaches who have a positive attitude towards kids and show them how to play the sport while having fun are likely to stay out the whole time.
