Through experience and research we have discovered that the lessons are being lost that were once assumed instilled by mere participation in youth sports. We now know that without a deliberate plan and effort, the vast majority of young athletes do not acquire the life lessons so many coaches, parents and administrators assume are being learned.
Our mission at 1st and Goals is to help a wider range of young athletes gain some of the benefits that should be available from the youth sports experience. Through a combination of physical and mental preparation and by merging short-term goals and long-term outcomes, young athletes will acquire the skills needed to flourish on the field, in the classroom, in their communities and in their future chosen professions.
1st and Goals is redefining success by redefining what it means to be an elite athlete and a winning coach. Our philosophy is firmly embedded in our 3 Most Valued Principles (MVP’s): Leadership, Teambuilding and Communication. We are teaching coaches and young athletes how to take ownership of their programs and foster on-field leadership, how to develop a collective belief in the power of a team while maintaining a healthy sense of “self”, and how to build relationships on foundations of trust and mutual respect that will inspire and motivate coaches and players alike.
