ISU to hold workshop on sportsmanship

April 26, 2001 By admin

Skills that parents, coaches and officials need for working with young athletes will be the focus of an Iowa State University workshop in June. The “Sport for Youth Conference” will be sponsored by I-S-U’s College of Education and the department of health and human performance. Professor Rich Engelhorn says the main speaker will be Jim Thompson, the director of the Positive Coaching Alliance at Stanford University.Engelhorn says the increase in participation in youth sports has brought with it some problems. One is ill-prepared coaches and not just in terms of teaching the sport, but in teaching how to deal with children in a positive way so they learn sportsmanship and character development.Engelhorn says the conference will focus on the skills needed for youngsters to become successful in sports and life.The workshop on the I-S-U campus is June 2nd.
