7 Keys to Great Youth Sports Coaching

Sean Jensen shares seven important ways to unlock great youth sports coaching, including the right preparation, the right technology partner, and more. Sean K. Jensen was born in South Korea, but he was raised in California, Massachusetts and Virginia, mostly on or near military bases. Given his unique background, he’s always been drawn to storytelling, a skill he developed at Northwestern University and crafted for 16 years as a reporter and columnist, almost exclusively covering the NFL. He’s now an inspirational speaker and author of The Middle School Rules, a book series that tells the defining moments of professional athletes. He is also the Head Boys Varsity Soccer Coach at Minnehaha Academy in Minneapolis and the host of Winning Is Not Everything, a podcast that aims to “bring sanity back to youth sports” through conversations with high-character athletes, coaches, and parents.
