About the Training
NWI has decades of experience working with Native youth. This training will focus on coaching young people for success in and out of the game. Coaching Native youth in sports has to be trauma informed, based in cultural values and include positivity. Therefore, adults working with Native youth need to fully understand these concepts and learn how to incorporate them into their youth programming.
This three-day interactive training will include classroom style training as well as hands-on drills to better learn skills and tools to better serve and better coach Native youth. Coaching, just like sports and athletics, takes practice, learning new skills and learning how to integrate these skills everyday. This training is designed for adults who work with youth in sports and athletic programs, recreation programs, summer youth programs and those interested in learning more about the art of coaching, inspiring and motivating young people so that they are successful in sports and movement as well as in life.
