Foreword estimated 12 to 15 million young athletes participate n organized youth sports in the United States. As a group these young people represent one of our country s most important resources. As individuals they are their parents most valued possessions. Yet all too often we as sport administrators and parents casually entrust our sons and daughters to men and women who, as research has shown, have a tremendous impact on our children s lives. The ramifications of this practice have come to haunt youth sports programs over the last decade. Now, as never before, there is an outcry for trained, compe- tent coaches of youth sports. Filling the void of meaningful educational materials for coaches, parents, and sport administrators is Coaching Young Athletes. This book, written by four of the country s leading experts in sport psychology, sport physiology, sport pedagogy, sports medicine, and sport administration, in- vites your reading. Coaching Young Athletes is a must for all those concerned about young people and sport in our country today[ Steve Combs Executive Director U.S. Wrestling Federation
