The Sports Action Principles

The Sports Action Principles® - NY Edition book is meant to be motivational while reminding the readers of traditional values and avenues to success. The book is a perfect opportunity for coaches or parents to use in order to start a conversation with their players or children. There are 109 Action Principles® for a coach to choose from when talking to a team or individual. While this is a New York Edition, it is useful for all coaches, parents, and athletes. The author's goal is to have sports be a catalyst to teach/remind athletes, coaches, and parents on the values that can be learned from sports. Since the messages are clear and concise, they can be understood easily, shared and discussed. Too often we are reminded of inappropriate behavior by sports figures and not the life-lessons that sports can teach. The book contains inspirational quotes and Action Principle® messages from present and former legendary New York sports personalities. The Action Principles® are representative of the universal values and codes of conduct to which we all strive to live and teach. The Action Principles promote integrity, character, virtue, honor, morality, and honesty. The inclusion of motivational quotes from New York sport s legends adds to the practical uses of the book. These positive messages should resonate well with all ages, especially young athletes. Proceeds from the book are shared equally with two great NY-area charities; the CJ Foundation for SIDS and the Tomorrows Children's Fund. Since the book is a constant inspirational tool, and proceeds will go to charity, this purchase is a rewarding experience for the reader, for childhood cancer programs, and for research to prevent future sudden infant deaths.
