PCA Partner Testimonial of the Month

"I was at a tournament in South City and one of the managers came up to me afterward and said, 'You've got the model coaches and model players. They never hang their heads. They never cuss. They never argue with the umpires. How do you do that?' I said, 'Positive Coaching Alliance.' "He said, 'How do you get the coaches to go to PCA workshops?.' I said, 'You just tell them they can't coach otherwise.'"
-- Steve Sutter, Coach, Foster City (CA) Little League
