Winning Respect

The video mixes kids' commentary with well-known professional, college, and Olympic athletes exhibiting first-class sport behavior. It's a powerful tool for introducing athletes to the concepts of winning respect both inside and outside the sport arena.

Officiating Youth Sport

Officiating Youth Sport highlights the keys to successful youth sport officiating, including what officials' duties and responsibilities are, how tightly to call games, how to be fair and impartial, how to communicate with coaches and players, how to handle conflict, and how to keep the sport safe and fun for kids.

SportParent

Real kids give real views of parents' involvement in their sports. The kids tell how their parents' cheers boost their spirits and how torturous it can be when their parents yell at them or complain to the coach or referee. These kids' words serve as a wake-up call for any parent and say more about sport parent behavior than any adult ever could.
