Why Is This Work Important? by Mark Chapin https://padlet.com/mark_chapin/s8gbgucv815v Our goal is to develop a collective philosophy, mission and vision that balances the desire to develop and promote high moral and performance character within our youth athletes, coaches, and programs with clearly defined expectations to be shared with parents and coaches at an annual Youth Sports Summit in November and modeled in all youth sports organizations with the aspiration to grow sustainable competitive and winning varsity programs. en-us 2017-07-20 15:20:34 UTC 2017-07-24 20:40:12 UTC hello@padlet.com chad_forde https://padlet.com/mark_chapin/s8gbgucv815v/wish/179339831 To create a sports community in River Falls that has a transformative mindset instead of a transactional mindset. ]]> 2017-07-24 20:34:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_chapin/s8gbgucv815v/wish/179339831 Because we all share the same student-athletes. https://padlet.com/mark_chapin/s8gbgucv815v/wish/179339886 2017-07-24 20:35:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_chapin/s8gbgucv815v/wish/179339886 https://padlet.com/mark_chapin/s8gbgucv815v/wish/179339891 The consistency in coaching (i.e. language, philosophy, etc.) at the youth levels should assist greatly in developing a more consistent varsity program. ]]> 2017-07-24 20:35:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_chapin/s8gbgucv815v/wish/179339891 https://padlet.com/mark_chapin/s8gbgucv815v/wish/179339897 2017-07-24 20:35:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_chapin/s8gbgucv815v/wish/179339897 These athletes will become members of our community.

Most athletes won't go on to play college athletics, and to develop an athlete with these skills, as well, is key. This can only be accomplished with an entire community.]]> 2017-07-24 20:36:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_chapin/s8gbgucv815v/wish/179339901 https://padlet.com/mark_chapin/s8gbgucv815v/wish/179339930 To help each individual to reach their own personal potential. ]]> 2017-07-24 20:36:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_chapin/s8gbgucv815v/wish/179339930 To create a unified vision that all coaches, parent, and volunteers can follow. https://padlet.com/mark_chapin/s8gbgucv815v/wish/179339932 2017-07-24 20:36:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_chapin/s8gbgucv815v/wish/179339932 It's one thing to talk the talk with what we want but it's another thing to walk the walk and actually make change. https://padlet.com/mark_chapin/s8gbgucv815v/wish/179339936 2017-07-24 20:36:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_chapin/s8gbgucv815v/wish/179339936 We're going to lose our athletes to club sports if we don't maintain a level of moral and performance success. https://padlet.com/mark_chapin/s8gbgucv815v/wish/179339975 2017-07-24 20:37:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_chapin/s8gbgucv815v/wish/179339975 https://padlet.com/mark_chapin/s8gbgucv815v/wish/179339990 To all be onboard on the reason for athletics and also to reduce the entitlement that arises. ]]> 2017-07-24 20:38:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_chapin/s8gbgucv815v/wish/179339990 https://padlet.com/mark_chapin/s8gbgucv815v/wish/179340095 Because the value of high school athletics goes far beyond winning and losing.
