“Children have a developmental tendency to translate experience into identity.” - Richard Schwartz 

Kids’ experiences with their coaches, teachers and parents infer larger messages about who they are. 

What can seem like an innocuous off the cuff remark by a coach literally has the power to impact a kid’s whole self concept. 

It’s not easy being a coach, teacher or parent. No one gets it all right. But we can all become better at repairing when we slip up.
