Douglas H. Shaver, Rogers Towers Shareholder, Wins Positive Coaching Alliance’s Double-Goal Coach® Award Presented by TeamSnap
March 23, 2017, Jacksonville, FL – Rogers Towers is pleased to announce Doug Shaver, Rogers Towers Shareholder, who coaches for Florida Elite Youth Soccer, has won Positive Coaching Alliance’s coveted Double-Goal Coach Award presented by TeamSnap for his positive impact on youth athletes.
According to Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA), Shaver is one of 50 national recipients of the Double-Goal Coach Award, named for coaches who strive to win while also pursuing the more important goal of teaching life lessons through sports. The award includes a $200 prize, a certificate, and mention within the websites and newsletters of PCA - a national non-profit developing Better Athletes, Better People through youth and high school sports.
“Doug helps his players win on and off the pitch,” said Jim Thompson, PCA founder and CEO and author of nine books on youth sports, including The Power of Double-Goal Coaching. “By creating a positive, character-building youth sports experience and serving as a Double-Goal Coach, Doug helps youth develop into better athletes and better people.”
Shaver’s main goal, he said, “is to make a positive impact on children through soccer. I want them to develop a passion and love it as much as I do and then use that passion to teach them about life and soccer, in that order. We teach them what teamwork means, what it means to work hard and what it means to set goals and achieve them.”
Key to his approach is recognizing that in communicating with players, “90 percent of it is the energy you bring to it, and 10 percent is the content of the message. I stay very brief and very positive. I’m not a screamer; I’m an encourager.”
