The Lincoln School community is pleased to welcome

you to the first AASCA Middle School Sportsmanship

Festival. This Festival is an opportunity for students

of the Central America region to come together and

share a weekend of friendly competition.

It is our hope that this inaugural festival serves to

motivate student athletes from each member institution

to participate in athletics and take part in the quality of

AASCA events as they progress throughout their high

school careers.

In addition to encouraging participation in four major

sports and in building friendships, we expect that the Festival will promote

sportsmanship and allow us to demonstrate and build character.

Competition teaches us how to win and lose and how to follow rules and play

fair. The famous UCLA basketball coach and winner of ten NCAA National

Championships, John Wooden, described proper athletic participation as “being

a good sport whether when you win or you lose. Not whining, complaining or

making excuses”.

This advice combined with treating each opponent with respect are lessons

that if learned at a young age will bring out the best in each of us and lead to

lifelong success. This weekend it is my hope that we all model and share Coach

Wooden´s wise words. Let´s take advantage of this wonderful event to help

instill these characteristics in our student athletes.

Finally, I want to thank Vic Caban, Lincoln School Athletic Director, and all of

the AASCA AD´s for their vision and commitment to all student athletes.

Have a great weekend!

Robert Rinaldo

Director General

5 TIPS TO BOOST KIDS’ CONFIDENCE

IN S P O R T S

Don’t point out mistakes or losses. Stay away from the subject of avoiding mistakes from previous games. Say, “Have

fun! I know you’ll do your best!”

S T A Y P O S I T I V E !

T H E I R B E S T I S E N O U G H !Convey that you love and appreciate your athletes no matter how they perform. Sometimes, kids feel that in order to feel loved and appreciated, they need to

perform well all the time.

D O N ’ T O V E R - C O A C H !

Don’t over-coach your athlete or over-analyze your child’s state of mind or past performances. Less is better before a game. Keep your comments brief, supportive

and positive.

N O E X P E T A T I O N S !Be careful of saying things like, “I want you to score four goals today!” Or, “I know you can beat her to the finish line.” This puts negative pressure on young athletes.

K E E P I T F U N !

Focus on ensuring your children have fun. Keep it light. Remind them about the people or events that make sports fun for them.

Kids just want to have fun!
