- (Re)Discover your inner child athlete
- Refine team building strategies
- Strengthen communication to players (and parents)
- Restructure success
When another teammate instigated bullying against [my son] Jack , Sam responded with skill and sensitivity towards everyone involved. In our conversation about the day’s events, he listened intently and synthesized everything I said. He implemented a plan the following day that not only ameliorated my son’s fears but actually brought the whole team to a better place as a group. The incident could have been scarring for my child; instead, it was affirming and, ultimately, even rewarding. He wants to come back for two weeks next summer! Given how adeptly and sensitively Sam and his coaches handled the situation, I’m not at all sorry that it happened. The whole week was tremendous for Jack on so many levels.
