Coaching, Ethics, and Developmental Assets



This week, there has been an interesting national debate around a somewhat-local high school football game. The game in question involves a high school football coach finding and using the other team's wristband playbook. There can be a case made for either side on this and could be an interesting discussion to have with a young person, whether they play sports or not.

Above is a video from ESPN and below is a link to the Hartford Courant's article to help guide a discussion.

Additionally, http://www.assetpromise.org/ has a resource page which contains a simple printout noting ways coaches can build developmental assets with youth (located  HERE). Feel free to share with any coaches you know.

It would be great to have some sports related promises on there so make your promise now!
