PACT Trainer Inverviewed About Motivating Scholarship Athlete

Max Trenerry is a trainer for PLC's partner program Parents and Coaches Together (PACT) in the Minnesota Youth Soccer Association. In a recent interview with CBS local station WCCO, Max shared the PLC-PACT philosophy and how it helped him coach, University of Minnesota athlete, Stephanie Brandt.

Trenerry effectively sums up the three C's of the PACT progam: "student athletes need three essential things to be happy in their sports: a choice in which activities in which they participate, a sense of accomplishment [competence], and a sense of being cared about. That means screaming parents on the sidelines or a focus on performance above all else, can lead to burnout."
