Play. Thrive. Lead: Positive Coaching Workshops for Coaches, Parents & Kids

The Positive Coaching Workshops are part of the Miami Beach Youth Sports & Wellness Festival and are designed to support coaches, parents, and young athletes in creating a more positive, supportive, and impactful youth sports experience.

Led in partnership with Positive Coaching Alliance, these interactive sessions focus on building confidence, strengthening communication, and fostering a culture where effort, growth, and character development are just as important as performance.

Workshops are offered for coaches, as well as for parents and athletes to attend together, helping align everyone around a shared approach to youth sports.

Participants will leave with practical tools and strategies they can immediately apply to create a more positive and empowering sports environment—on the field and beyond.
