As the Little League World Series is upon us, you may want to consider addressing the topic of sportsmanship.

A guest post from Coach Jeff at YouthFootballOnline.com

The NCAA runs an advertising campaign in which it asserts that most college athlete are “going pro in something other than sports.”

An increasingly common topic on sports websites is that of “playing up” - placing your young athlete in an age group above his or her actual age.

In the world of team sports, players are often asked to play a position they dislike, don’t understand or aren’t used to.

One topic that has gotten a lot of attention on TV and on team websites is the issue of coed teams.

As you coach young athletes and manage the team websites, it is almost inevitable that the group will at some point be on one end or the other of a blow out game.

When you peruse various sports websites, it is likely you will come across advertisements for sports drink and energy drinks.

If you have browsed through some sports websites offering coaching advice, you have probably heard all sorts of ideas about the right way to coach young athletes.

Almost every sports fan looked up to a professional athlete at one point or another.
