U.S. Soccer Foundation Introduces Coach-Mentor Training™
The U.S. Soccer Foundation recently launched Coach-Mentor Training™, a new suite of offerings for youth sports coaches to build their skills to serve as mentors and provide more positive youth sports experiences. The Foundation’s Coach-Mentor Training is based on the Foundation’s 25 years of experience as a leader in sports-based youth development and uses its evidence-based approach to training coaches from its nationally recognized Soccer for Success program.
Coach-Mentor Training builds participants’ capacity to create lasting, positive connections with youth and teaches them how to strengthen the social and emotional skills of young people. The training also teaches coaches how to work effectively with youth in and from underserved communities and create a positive team culture that reflects the diversity of the youth they serve. This is critical when coaches work with young people of varying racial, gender, and socioeconomic backgrounds.
