Mission
"Better Athletes, Better People"
PCA’s philosophy focuses on sports as an opportunity for character education, espousing the Double-Goal Coach, whose first goal is winning, and whose second, more important goal is teaching life lessons through sports.
Positive Coaching Alliance has three national goals:
1. Replace "win-at-all-cost" coaching with Double-Goal Coaching
2. Help youth sports organization leaders create a culture in which "Honoring the Game" is the norm
3. Spark and fuel a "social epidemic" of Positive Coaching in the United States

“When you’re dealing with monkeys, you’ve got to expect some wrenches.”

“... [a] girl one day flared out and told the principal “the only mission opening before a girl in his school was to marry one of those candidates [for the ministry].” He said he didn’t know but it was. And when at last that same girl announced her desire and intention to go to college it was received with about the same incredulity and dismay as if a brass button on one of those candidate’s coats had propounded a new method for squaring the circle or trisecting the arc.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
