One of our goals as coaches is to create a team culture in which every player feels that their contribution is significant to the success of the team. If we are not aware of how our language, messages, and actions affect every person on our team, we can lose some kids. From managing parents/guardians to thinking about spirit days to being ready to address issues such as micro-aggressions, privilege, or ignorance, what we do as coaches is critical to bringing everyone together. This presentation helps coaches look at policies and practices so that we can be inclusive, proactive in our efforts to build unity, and appropriately responsive when there are issues.
