Jason Sacks on Positive Coaching and Centering the Athlete's Wellbeing in Sport

Jason has been with Positive Coaching Alliance since 2006 and currently serves as President. He oversees national partnerships, fundraising, and regional operations, working with professional sports leagues and youth organizations. Previously, he held roles such as Chief Development Officer and Executive Director of PCA’s Chicago chapter. Jason began his career in sports television production and worked with the New York Knicks' Basketball Operations. He holds degrees from Syracuse University and NYU. Outside PCA, Jason teaches at Northwestern and coaches youth sports.
We are huge fans of youth sports but understand there are lots of challenges in youth coaching. We also know that with challenges, come opportunities. Positive Coaching Alliance does a masterful job of training not only coaches, but also parents and athletes to be better, more effective members of the sports system to enable everyone involved to have a positive experience.
