Responsibility |
+ − |
- Positive Coaching Alliance advances the idea that responsibility lies at the heart of many of the life lessons that youth can learn through basketball. At the simplest level, each person on a team is responsible to all other team members for expending maximum effort, filling the roles needed for team success and upholding the team’s culture. While learning how to be responsible in a basketball sense, players also can learn how to apply those lessons in responsibility to other aspects of their lives, such as family, a school community and our society as a whole. Coaches do well to make explicit to players the connection between basketball responsibility and rest-of-your-life responsibility.
