PCA (www.PositiveCoach.org), a Stanford University-based non-profit organization, conducts workshops for coaches, organizational leaders, and parents involved in schools and sports organizations serving five-to-18-year-old athletes. PCA also provides workshops for high school athletes. “Working with hundreds of youth sports organizations around the United States, PCA has developed practical tools and guidelines to help youth athletes, their coaches and parents get the most out of sports,” said TESC President Mike Tooley. “We recognize the tremendous opportunity for character-building sports offers for today’s youth, so we are embracing PCA’s Double-Goal CoachTM model, where winning is one goal and teaching life lessons is the second, more-important goal.” “We are delighted to partner with Team Elmhurst Soccer Club,” said PCA Executive Director Jim Thompson. “Together, we’ll strive to help their youth athletes take a positive approach to pursuing victories in athletic competition and in life.” The workshops are scheduled to begin March 10, 2008.

Workshop attendees have helped create a positive, character-building youth sports environment for more than 2.2 million youth athletes. PCA trains Double-Goal Coaches®, whose first goal is winning, and whose second, more-important goal is teaching life lessons through sports. This coaching method takes its name from “The Double-Goal Coach,” a book by PCA Founder and Executive Director Jim Thompson. PCA’s partnership network includes more than 1,100 youth sports organizations, cities and schools. In 2008, PCA will conduct roughly 1,500 live, group workshops across the U.S., while assisting thousands of other individuals via online workshops at www.PositiveCoach.org.

The ball must be held in or between the hands; the arms or body must not be used for holding it. 5.

A foul is striking at the ball with the fist, violation of rules 3 and 4, and such as described in rule 5. 7. If either side makes three consecutive fouls, it shall count a goal for the opponents (consecutive means without the opponents in the meantime making a foul). 8.

  • Phil Jackson 1989
    This is the first major interview Phil Jackson did in Chicago. He was just an iconcolastic hippie coach from the CBA. I was reeled in to talk to Phil because i was just an iconoclastic hippie writer at the Chicago Sun-Times. July 16, 1989--- Defining Phil Jackson is like trying to defend against adrenalin. The new head coach of the Bulls had a combination major in philosophy, psychology and religion from the University of North Dakota. He's an eloquent writer, a former vegetarian and a former roomate of the immortal Harthorne Wingo. Jackson is also the only NBA coach to have doubled off of Hall of Fame pitcher Satchel Paige. "We played stickball a lot," recalled Charley Rosen, the head coach of the CBA's Rockford Lightning and Jackson's close friend and literary collaborator. "During a game a few years ago he told me how he faced Satchel Paige in some high-class barnstorming league up around Montana. He got a double off him. But he held out on me." Rosen said he learned that piece of trivia too late to use in the eclectic 1975 autobiography Maverick that he co-wrote with Jackson. The book has become something of an underground item. Rosen claims to have no copies. The publisher, Playboy Press, is out of business. And Jackson almost views the work as an artifact from another time - like love beads. "I'd just as soon not talk about that book," Jackson, 43, said in an otherwise provocative hour-long conversation last week. "I liked it.

  • Phil Jackson: Role Model Coach by Jim Thompson
    Phil Jackson: Role Model Coach By Jim Thompson Watching the Lakers win the NBA title, last night I began to count the ways that Phil Jackson is a model for youth coaches. 1) He builds players' self-confidence. Trevor Ariza, who came up big in the playoffs, said he knew he wasn't going to get pulled from the game if he missed a shot, which fueled his confidence to keep playing hard. Jackson's players don't tighten up in the clutch, worried about what will happen if they miss. They play to win, not to avoid looking bad. Players don't do that if they are worrying about their coach giving up on them. 2) He develops players as leaders. Michael Jordan never won a title until Phil showed him how to make his teammates better. And now even those who called Kobe Bryant the most selfish player in the NBA, can see how Bryant has grown under Phil as a leader who makes his teammates better. 3) He doesn't let the emotion of the moment control his behavior. Phil has been called the Zen Master, sometimes mockingly, but I believe his meditation practice provides a detachment that allows him to keep his head when those around him are losing theirs (full disclosure: I meditate daily and find it helps me deal with my challenges, which admittedly are much less than those of an NBA coach). Jackson was pummeled by the press during the playoffs-for not coaching enough, for going through the motions, for mailing it in.

  • Senator Bill Bradley Talks About Making a Better America at the National Constitution Center
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACTS: Ashley Berke Public Relations Manager 215.409.6693 [email protected] SENATOR BILL BRADLEY TALKS ABOUT MAKING A BETTER AMERICA AT THE NATIONAL CONSTITUTION CENTER Philadelphia, PA (January 2, 2008) – The National Constitution Center welcomes Senator Bill Bradley – bestselling author, New York Knicks star, and former presidential candidate – to discuss his book, The New American Story, on how to make America a better, stronger, truer country. Matt Bai, national political writer for the New York Times Magazine and author of The Argument, will moderate the discussion. This program will be held on Tuesday, January 22, 2008 at 6:30 p.m. Admission is $12 for members, $15 for non-members, and $6 for K-12 students and teachers. Reservations are required and can be made by calling 215.409.6700 or at www.consititutioncenter.org. Based on Bradley’s acclaimed New York Times op-ed piece, The New American Story argues that a strong nation requires a stronger two-party system with leaders who will tell the truth to the American people. Bradley argues that the Republican Party has built a solid pyramid structure, starting in the 1970s, at the base of which are money, ideas, and media, whereas the Democratic Party’s structure is an inverted pyramid, relying on too much pressure from a charismatic leader to hold it up. Bradley’s call to action is addressed not only to the parties and elected leaders, but to citizens as well. He proposes actions that every American can take to shape our nation’s future. Bill Bradley has been an Olympic Gold Medalist, a Rhodes Scholar, a professional basketball player, and a thrice-elected U.S.

Eventually, they had achieved to get the pension plan that they hoped for many years. Larry Fleisher, the general counsel of the NBPA, and Oscar Robertson, the president of the NBPA, were determined to abolish the reserve clause in basketball. The reserve clause restrained the free movement of professional athletes for many years, and NBA players were the ones who established staunch struggle against it, in various ways, including litigation.

  • CORONACLE T - HAWK EDITION APRIL 20Th 2020 ISSUE#23
    THE SAUGANASH CORONACLE T - HAWK EDITION APRIL 20th 2020 ISSUE#23 MAKING OTHERS BETTER By B. Taylor The NBA finals in 1991 marked a big shift in the league after Chicago Bulls beat the Los Angeles Lakers in five games. It also marked the start of a Bulls dynasty lead by Michael Jordan as the best player in the League, which was perfectly displayed during those finals. In a game five Jordan was incredibly efficient scoring 30 points and dishing out 10 assists, but Phil Jackson remembers one moment in the game when Jordan was holding back the rest of the team, which resulted in a Lakers comeback. For the entire game, Jordan was in attack mode and at some point neglected his teammates who were often wide open. Magic Johnson was helping out all around the Lakers’ defense which left John Paxson open on several occasions but nobody passed him the ball. Phil Jackson noticed this, so he called a timeout to remind Michael he had better options on offense. “I wasn’t happy with what I was seeing. Despite our discussions, Michael was leaving Paxson in limbo. Magic often left his man (Paxson) to help other players on defense. He was gambling that Michael wouldn’t give up the ball. Paxson was a strong clutch shooter, and Michael trusted him more than others in tight situations. But with the championship in our sights, Michael was reverting to his old habit of trying to win games by himself. So I called a timeout and gathered the team together. ‘Who’s open, MJ?’ I asked looking directly into Michael’s eyes.
