"I worry sometimes that the only reason my child plays soccer is to get those patches."

Using the Motivational Patches
Target the behaviors you want to see. Reward effort, not talent. What would you like to improve?
- The kids listening while the coach is talking?
- A child's motivation to keep trying something that is challenging him or her?
- Would you like better sportsmanship?
Whatever it is you want to improve can be achieved by using these patches as symbolic rewards. Recognize
hustle, effort and sportsmanship and make sure all players earn them over a season.
"I call them the No-Quit patch. Players get them for not quiting on a play, in a losing game or on a challenging skill."
John, Baseball Coach, Ca.

"We hand out 3 at the end of every game and make up categories depending on what happened in the game: Best Attitude, Great Defense, Dirtiest Knees. The kids love them."
