ResponsibleSports.com Providing Guidance and Tools for Parents and Coaches

Parents across the country are rushing around in search of shin guards, mouth guards, helmets and other athletic gear, as their children -- an estimated 35 million annually who play organized sports -- ready themselves to take to the field, the ice, the track, the court, and so on. The youth sports season is officially upon us.

As these children embark on another season, they bring with them valuable lessons learned from adults who help shape their sporting careers -- namely, their parents and coaches.

To help parents and coaches with this tremendous teaching opportunity, Liberty Mutual, in partnership with Positive Coaching Alliance, US Youth Soccer and USA Football, launches today an online resource dedicated to fostering positive sporting experiences for kids. Found at http://www.responsiblesports.com, this resource provides parents and coaches with advice, toolkits and best practices on coaching and mentoring today's youth, so they can maximize the positive role they play in young athletes' lives.
