- Abstract
With millions of youth involved in sport in North America and across the world, the potential positive impact for good that sport coaches can play in the development of moral character in their players and teams is significant. Yet, there is limited empirical data on the effectiveness of the design and integration of youth sport coach character development programs (Ettekal et al., 2017, 2018; Ferris et al., 2015; Holtzclaw et al., 2019). Despite the long-accepted notion that sport builds positive moral character, there is a trend of socio-negative/ anti-social behaviors in young athletes involved in sport (Anderson, 2010; Shields & Bredemeier, 2011; Shields et al., 2015a, 2015b; Vella, 2019) which may justify the need for empirically driven coaching for character education programs. We have created an innovative evidence-based coach training program that we are excited to share in this article called PRIMED for Coaching for Character (PCC).
