- "This is an excellent program and should be strongly
recommended, if not mandatory, for all coaches
and parents."
- “I realized that coaching is a ministry. I really never saw it that way until this training. It made me understand more what a strong influence I can have on kids. I want to be a role model for them both in regard to the skills they are learning and how they treat each other as people.”
- “All the information was helpful. It gave me great ideas to implement this season. Also important was hearing ideas from other coaches, looking at problems from different points of view can yield better solutions.”
- Getting to take the coaches manual home is terrific. I can refer to it often and after more study, I will feel very confident coaching.”
- “Yes! Children’s sports programs are becoming more and more a win-at-all costs mentality. This program puts the emphasis on sportsmanship.”
- “I think PLC should be mandatory to ensure people in a coach’s position foster positive actions, behaviors and therefore experiences.”
- “I’ve coached for 11 years and coached against coaches and players with terrible attitudes and character. This program is essential!”

“Play Like A Champion was exactly the training program I was searching for. PLC (SAM) wastes no time sinking its teeth into the meat of Catholic Youth Sports. Coaches find it fast moving, thought provoking, and personally inspiring. Coaches are the experts when it comes to Sports. Helping them discover that the Catholic Church needs their gifts and talents in Sports Ministry was one of the most rewarding components of this program for me.”

"PLC is a fantastic program! It addresses all pertinent issues that impact the Archdiocese of Los Angeles; providing all kids with fair playing, putting kids first, and combating the win-at-all cost mentality so prevalent in youth sports. The program shows coaches how to win the right way all while considering the child’s development and emphasizing the enjoyment of participation. My coaches come out of training with a different perspective and a renewed passion for coaching youth sports. We are extremely satisfied with the SAM program and sincerely believe that it is making a difference in our diocese.”

Archdiocese of Los Angeles, CA
“The (SAM) program emphasizes the importance of presenting sport as a form of youth ministry, and challenged us to view sports as a means of developing the whole person; physically, mentally, and spiritually. I was introduced to an exciting program that challenged the “win-at-all cost mentality” currently draining the fun and excitement from sports participation.”
