“Masculinity is not something that’s given to you, but something you gain. And you gain it by winning small battles with honor.” – NM
I appreciate that this year’s http://www.nllb.org season has given me a number of real-time learning opportunities, heightened awareness, and reinforced an important leadership lesson about my (our) role/responsibilities as the adults, parents, leaders of these events/leagues.
WHAT’S MOST IMPORTANT TO ME?
Here’s what I would offer is most important to ME about NLLB and youth sports in general:
1) To help our kids…
– develop positive self-esteem (through athletics/sport/competition)
– learn athletic skills & social skills (sportmanship, teamwork, positivity)
– safety first and then have fun
2) A little recreation & memory making for me, my family, and my friends
I’m curious what you would say is most important to you?
BASELINE STANDARDS
Here are some baseline standards I would offer, in the context of being a part of youth sports:
At a minimum, we adults will focus our energy/attention on role modeling positive, healthy, enlightened leadership behavior & centeredness…“I will encourage good sportsmanship by demonstrating positive support for all players, coaches and officials at every game at all times.” (regardless of other’s poor behavior)
