About this title

Synopsis

Bullying prevention is a priority for all who work with our youth in our schools, parks, organizations, and athletic fields. Tackling Bullying in Athletics will help athletic directors, coaches, parents, and all those who help youth enjoy the benefits of sports by detailing how they can provide a bully-free playing field and promote sportsmanship and character. The athletic field with all its triumphs is an area where bullying can occur, and these behaviors may have devastating consequences. The easy-to-read format and solid practical advice provide the guidelines and best practices to coach with success and provide a winning environment for everyone. The eight best practices compliment and parallel the school efforts that should be organized to prevent bullying.
