Jim Thompson - The Power of Positive Coaching

Jim Thompson started the Positive Coaching Alliance at Stanford University in 1998 to transform the culture of youth sports. His belief that positive coaching is the key to unlock the best out of young athletes has spread across the country into youth sports organizations and partnerships with major sports and professional coaches. Jim joins the Steel Sports Podcast to discuss some of his philosophies, growing up a sports fan in North Dakota, why he started PCA and his latest venture into climate change. He is now leading the non-profit organization THIS! Is What we Did, and he talks about the link between climate change and youth sports, and why we need to mold our kids into future leaders now more than ever.
