摘要
Youth sport is a social institution designed to help improve the health and wellness of the athletes and provide an opportunity for positive youth development. Coaches have a strong influence upon the benefits experienced by youth athletes. Given the importance of the coaching role, the purpose of this article is to outline several positive steps that coaches can take to help youth athletes develop life skills in the areas of leadership, autonomy, intrinsic motivation, and decision making.
