Current NCCP Model It is possible for coaches to work in multiple sports and more than one stream and context. Coaches who are involved in several sports, streams, or contexts may choose to move directly to the evaluation stage in some contexts if they feel they can demonstrate their competence without additional training. Some requirements for certification are transferable between contexts. This flexibility assists coaches who need training or certification in multiple contexts.

ICE BREAKER: DEBRIEF How does it feel to not be accepted into a group or team? Does this ever happen on the team (or in school)? Is it intentional? How did it feel when you found someone with the same message? Why didn’t those persons already in a team reach out to the excluded persons? How do our own self-interests prevent us from including others? What can we do to include others “in the loop”? 1. Does this ever happen on the team (or in school)? Is it intentional? 3. How do our own self-interests prevent us from including others? 5. What lessons does this have for team building?

Step 1: Character and Community
MAKE ETHICAL DECISIONS MODULE Step 1: Character and Community Define what sportmanship means to you. How might sportmanship focus in youth sport benefit your basketball team/community? What are some best practices that you and your team could commit to that would promote sportmanship? Character and Community Pre-Task pg. 15 Have each team come up with a definition of sportsmanship. Place it on the flipchart post-it on the wall.

QUIZ – TRUE OR FALSE (ANSWERS)
MAKE ETHICAL DECISIONS MODULE QUIZ – TRUE OR FALSE (ANSWERS) CHARACTER AND COMMUNITY 1. Sport builds character. False: This is a myth. Sport reveals character. To be certain that sport builds character, the infrastructure and policy of the programs must support and enforce standards that ensure this happens. 2. The definition of community is “friendliness based on shared interests and a sense of obligation”. True. Doesn’t the definition of community sound like a good definition of team? To Add: 1. Character is the positive Me in our continuum. It is about teaching children self-esteem, integrity, and self-confidence so that they can contribute positively to their families, friends, and communities.

MAKE ETHICAL DECISIONS MODULE QUIZ – TRUE OR FALSE (ANSWERS) CHARACTER AND COMMUNITY 3. The definition of team is “yoked together”. This is true. However, the actual definition of team goes one step further by implying that, as a team, we share each other’s burden – which is a great definition of community. A team is a microcosm of community. Sportsmanship is an important skill that must be taught and reinforced. True. Sportsmanship is a skill. It is a skill EVERY child can learn to excel at. This is important because not every child is going to be gifted athletically. To Add: 3. How we teach children to treat each other in sports and how we, as adults, treat each other in sports will reflect how this is done outside the sport context, in our families, on the playground, etc.… 4. Sportsmanship must be taught as a skill - just like you would teach a child to dribble the ball.

MAKE ETHICAL DECISIONS MODULE QUIZ – TRUE OR FALSE (ANSWERS) CHARACTER AND COMMUNITY 5. The DeCoubertin Award is the Olympic Sportsmanship Award. True: DeCoubertin is known as the Father of Modern Olympics. He wrote the philosophy of the Olympics in The award was established in 1968 after Eugenie Monti (an Italian) demonstrated “a nobility of spirit”. To Add: 5. DeCoubertin is known as the Father of the Modern Olympics. He wrote the philosophy of the Olympics in The award was established in 1968 after Eugenie Monti (an Italian) demonstrated “a nobility of spirit”. He was the captain of a two-man bobsled team. His team and an English team were competing for the gold medal. The Italians went first and set a world record; however, when the Englishmen entered their sled in the track, they noticed a bolt on one of the runners was broken – they would have to default and accede the gold medal to the Italians. Monti, who was at the bottom of the hill waiting, learned that they were going to default. He had his mechanic take the bolt from his sled, take it up the hill, and put it in his opponent’s sled. The Englishmen made the run, set a world record, and won the gold medal! When asked why on earth he gave up the gold medal, Monti said, “If I was to win the gold medal, I wanted to know I won all things being equal – with honour.” We need to teach children what it means to display a “nobility of spirit” – everybody wins.

DOUBLE POWER Too much of anything has the power to do harm
MAKE ETHICAL DECISIONS MODULE DOUBLE POWER Too much of anything has the power to do harm Things are never as good as they seem and never as bad as they seem. Reality is somewhere in between. Find the appropriate balance -Adults need to understand the difference between competition, training and play, so that we can better balance our environments to meet the needs of all children Many people, coaches especially, believe that emphasizing sportsmanship means that perhaps they shouldn’t be trying to win. This is not true, and not what we are teaching. Winning the game is the objective in sport – there is nothing wrong with that. If we put two basketball teams on the court and neither team tried to get any baskets it wouldn’t be much of a game. It is the emphasis we put on winning and competitiveness that matters. It has been suggested that adults have taken play, organized it, managed it, added rules, skill development – and made it competition.

MAKE ETHICAL DECISIONS MODULE QUIZ – TRUE OR FALSE (ANSWERS) UNDERSTAND THE BALANCE BETWEEN COMPETITION, TRAINING, AND PLAY Children need to play games in order to develop new skills. False. A game is a test to see where your current skills are to date. New skills need to be taught in training or through discovery in play. 7. Boys are naturally more competitive than girls. True. Research indicates that, in fact, boys do tend to be more naturally competitive than girls. However, this is not to say that some girls are naturally very competitive. To Add: 6. You do not take a test every day when learning math in school. Children will revert to what is comfortable in a game. 7. It is important to understand the basic differences so you don’t drive yourself, and others, crazy. It is also important that you try and discern where on the competitive continuum each of your players fall. Do not inherently, or otherwise, praise and reward the more competitive players.

MAKE ETHICAL DECISIONS MODULE QUIZ – TRUE OR FALSE (ANSWERS) UNDERSTAND THE BALANCE BETWEEN COMPETITION, TRAINING, AND PLAY Competition means “to strive together”. True. Definition of competition – to strive together. Some experts say, “If it hurts, it’s competition.” That may be a bit extreme, but it is also good to be aware of. Competition can be good if it is conducted by adults who understand play. 9. Play is an important component of a child’s healthy development. True. Research indicates that play is a biological need for a child’s healthy social development. To Add: 8. Definition of competition – to strive together. Some experts say, “If it hurts, it’s competition.” That may be a bit extreme, but it is also good to be aware of. If you emphasize the ‘strive together’ aspect of competition, its relationship to community, focusing on the YOU – rule #2 – doing what is right, then even competition can be fun. Competition does not have to be contentious. Competition can be good if it is conducted by adults who understand play. 9. These days, children have less and less unstructured play time. Many of their activities are organized by adults, so it is important that we ensure they get to play – simply have fun. Some researchers believe that play is really a “quality” as opposed to an activity. If this is true, it is a very positive thing for coaches.

MAKE ETHICAL DECISIONS MODULE QUIZ – TRUE OR FALSE (ANSWERS) UNDERSTAND THE BALANCE BETWEEN COMPETITION, TRAINING, AND PLAY Laughter is a good indication that children are playing. True. What do you hear on the playgrounds, generally speaking? Laughter is usually a good indication that children are having FUN. To Add: 10. How often do you hear laughter in your practices, in your games? It’s alright to choose, or to have children choose either competition or play, as long as you know and they know WHAT they are choosing, and WHY.

MAKE ETHICAL DECISIONS MODULE QUIZ – TRUE OR FALSE (ANSWERS) HANDLING CONFLICT WITH DIGNITY Conflict is a natural component of sport. True. Conflict arises often in the sport context. It is very important to be able to help children reinterpret situations so that everyone has learned something valuable. 12. Aggression implies intent to harm. True. Aggression does not by its very definition imply an intent to harm, either physically or relationally. Assertiveness, on the other hand, is self-reliant boldness. It implies giving a personal commitment to one’s best effort. To Add: 11. Conflict usually arises out of a misinterpretation of intentions. Conflict arises often in the sport context because we both want the same thing, but only one of us can have it. For example, the basketball. It is very important to be able to help children reinterpret situations so that everyone has learned something valuable. 12. By its very definition, aggression does imply intent to harm - either physically or relationally. Assertiveness, on the other hand, is self-reliant boldness. Tt implies giving a personal commitment to one’s best effort. It is very important that we start using the proper language and never teach children to be aggressive. Many children do not distinguish between what is acceptable on the basketball court from what is acceptable on the playground. (See Appendix 3 for more information about Aggression on pg. 92)

MAKE ETHICAL DECISIONS MODULE QUIZ – TRUE OR FALSE (ANSWERS) HANDLING CONFLICT WITH DIGNITY Fighting and acting up is more likely to occur when kids are engaged in active and competitive play. True. This is absolutely true, and important for your sanity that you are aware of this. 14. The best way to handle group conflict is to ignore it. False. DO NOT ignore group conflict. Help children resolve it in a manner that leaves every child with their dignity. To Add: 13. This is absolutely true and important for your sanity that you are aware of this. Conflict will occur. Therefore, conflict management is a very good skill for coaches to learn. 14. Do NOT ignore group conflict. Help children resolve it in a manner that leaves every child with their dignity. This is not something children do inherently well. In fact, a famous mediator once said, “We just don’t know how to handle conflict with dignity. You tell me - who is teaching it to our children?”

MAKE ETHICAL DECISIONS MODULE QUIZ – TRUE OR FALSE (ANSWERS) HANDLING CONFLICT WITH DIGNITY Best practices increase incidents of conflict. False. Best practices provide standards and structure that help coaches avoid many common conflicts. Sport is really the perfect environment to teach children how to handle conflict. To Add: 15. Hopefully, this was obviously false. Best practices provide standards and structure that help coaches avoid many common conflicts. At the very least, they guide appropriate responses that help to alleviate conflict. Prevention is always the best cure. Sport is really the perfect environment to teach children how to handle conflict. This would fall under the YOU on our continuum and our 2nd and 3rd rules. YOU is about adopting the right attitude toward other players, doing what is right, and treating others as you would like to be treated.

HANDLING CONFLICT WITH DIGNITY
MAKE ETHICAL DECISIONS MODULE HANDLING CONFLICT WITH DIGNITY Activity 6 What are some common reasons kids act up? What are some ways that children deal with conflict? What are ways that children can display the “do what’s right” and “treat others the way you want to be treated” values while under your charge at basketball? Coaches can refer to pg. 19 in their Coach Workbook Note: If time is an issue, you may do this as a simple popcorn question and answer to the entire group. Pick out only a few highlights.

COACHING LEADERSHIP Activity 7: Assign each group one of these four levels: Lead Yourself Give Energy to the Group Know when to Follow Master the first three, then you can lead others Pre-Task Worksheets pg. 20 A leader is someone who removes the obstacles to the success of others. From a coach’s perspective, if you can make each child FEEL successful, then you are a great coach- and leader. Use this with your kids. Ask them what each one means. Popcorn activity around the room- what are examples of kids demonstrating each level of leadership??

MAKE ETHICAL DECISIONS MODULE QUIZ – TRUE OR FALSE (ANSWERS) COACHING LEADERSHIP % of children surveyed said coaches were a greater influence than parents or teachers. True. Imperative to understand the impact of coaches; they are the single most important factor in a child’s sport experience – a negative experience can last a lifetime. 17. “A” type personalities do not tend to make good coaches. True. This is said in the context that type A personalities are usually outcomes/results driven. This is not the approach we want to have with children and youth. We want to be process focused – it’s the journey, not the destination. To Add: 16. It is imperative to understand the impact of coaches. They are the single most important factor in a child’s sport experience – a negative experience can last a lifetime! 17. True. This is said in the context that type A personalities are usually outcome/results driven. This is not the approach we want to have with children and youth. We want to be process focused – it’s the journey, not the destination. In fact, a study out of Australia examined coaching styles of coaches that were athlete- or process-focused versus coaches that were outcome- or results-focused. Coaches that were athlete-focused won more gold medals.

MAKE ETHICAL DECISIONS MODULE QUIZ – TRUE OR FALSE (ANSWERS) COACHING LEADERSHIP The coach is the single most important factor in the youth sport environment. True. What a coach says, and even what a coach doesn’t say, is often a public declaration of whether a child is good enough. For example, not playing a child is a public declaration to everyone in the facility that that child is not good enough. 19. Shame will increase a child’s desire to improve. False. Shame never produces change. You should never shame a child or player about anything. To Add: 18. What a coach says, and even what the coach doesn’t say, is often a public declaration of whether a child is good enough. For example, not playing a child is a public declaration to everyone in the facility that that child is not good enough. It is important to remember that every mistake a child makes while playing basketball is a public mistake – how many other areas of our lives are really like that? How you respond, or allow others to respond to those mistakes, is vitally important. Every other participant group looks to the coach for leadership. 19. Shame never produces change. You should never shame a child or player about anything. In fact, the United Nations Convention of Human Rights in Youth Sport states specifically that deliberate humiliation is a form of child abuse.

MAKE ETHICAL DECISIONS MODULE QUIZ – TRUE OR FALSE (ANSWERS) COACHING LEADERSHIP Actions speak louder than words. True. As a coach, you and all adults in the youth sport environment need to be held to a higher standard of behaviour than the children. To Add: 20. A wise man once said, “It’s not what you know, but what you are doing with what you know.” As a coach, you and all adults in the youth sport environment, need to be held to a higher standard of behaviour than the children – doesn’t that just make sense? You have to understand the impact of your explicit and implicit behaviour.

MOVING FROM ME TO WE, FROM THE LITTLE TO THE BIG PICTURE
MAKE ETHICAL DECISIONS MODULE MOVING FROM ME TO WE, FROM THE LITTLE TO THE BIG PICTURE The little picture can block the big picture In youth sport today the Little Picture has the extraordinary power to obscure the Big Picture. The Little Picture is about immediacy, whether we win or lost, played well or poorly, whether we laughed or cried. But the Big Picture is what we want the outcomes of sport to be – long term– for our children. What are they going to take away from playing basketball that is going to help them commit to leading a physically and morally successful lives.

MAKE ETHICAL DECISIONS MODULE QUIZ – TRUE OR FALSE (ANSWERS) MOVING FROM ME TO WE, FROM THE LITTLE PICTURE TO THE BIG PICTURE The original goals for youth sport were to develop better citizens. True. When Pop Warner and Carl Stolz created their community football and baseball leagues for children in the late twenties, their goals were to help develop better citizens. 22. Children equate winning with success. False. Success is what youngsters strive for, but winning is what adults value. Children should focus on mastery - improving their ability and enjoying their sport experience. Their attitude and effort are what they can control. To Add: 21. When Pop Warner and Carl Stolz created their community football and baseball leagues for children in the late twenties, their goals were to help develop better citizens. They saw the potential of sport to positively influence children. This is part of the Big Picture. The history of the word citizen actually means ‘servant of the community’. Community is WE. 22. Success is what youngsters strive for, but winning is what adults value. Kids know this! Children should focus on skill mastery, improving their ability, and enjoying their sport experience. Children have very little control over the numbers on the scoreboard at the end of the game. What do they have control over? Attitude and effort! Do you remember our model? This is personal success, although we can also teach children to celebrate the success of others, which would move us to the YOU on our model.

MAKE ETHICAL DECISIONS MODULE QUIZ – TRUE OR FALSE (ANSWERS) MOVING FROM ME TO WE, FROM THE LITTLE PICTURE TO THE BIG PICTURE The majority of children surveyed said they would rather play on a losing team than sit on the bench and win. True. Children play sports to play, not sit and watch other children play or you coach. The emphasis we put on winning games matters. % of children quit sport by age 13 because it isn’t fun. True. Among the top reasons children quit sport are: it isn’t fun anymore, coaches present a negative attitude, and there is too much emphasis on winning. To Add: 23. Children play sports to play, not sit and watch other children play or you coach. The emphasis we put on winning matters. Winning is part of the Little Picture. 24. Among the top reasons children quit sport are: it isn’t fun anymore, coaches present a negative attitude, and there is too much emphasis on winning. This is good. Why? Because we can do something about these things! We can make sport fun, we can teach coaches how to be positive and encouraging, and we can change the emphasis. We can focus on the Big Picture!

MAKE ETHICAL DECISIONS MODULE QUIZ – TRUE OR FALSE (ANSWERS) MOVING FROM ME TO WE, FROM THE LITTLE PICTURE TO THE BIG PICTURE As basketball coaches, we should only be concerned with what happens in basketball. False. The Big Picture is that we are building the children to be part of a community. We must develop the whole child. To Add: 25. The Big Picture is that we are building the children to be part of a community. In WE, we must develop the whole child. “A team is just another version of a community. The same principles apply to any communal undertaking, whether you’re talking about a community garden, a neighborhood watch, or racing around France: if you want something, first you have to give it. You have to invest in it.” Lance Armstrong, Every Second Counts, (2003).
