Conference for Coaches – 2017

Conference for Coaches – 2017

On February 25, 2017, The Men’s Leadership Council (“MLC”) of The Rape Foundation held its first Conference for Coaches focusing on the critical role coaches have in shaping the values and character of their athletes, while they also face intense pressure to win…from schools, alumni, parents, and communities. Nationally recognized speakers. LL COOL J and MARCELLUS WILEY shared personal experiences about the impact their coaches have had on their lives and about how their coaches helped them find their unique vision and purpose. Featured presenter, JOE EHRMANN, former NFL player and founder of COACH FOR AMERICA, spoke about transforming the current “win-at-all costs” sports culture to a culture that defines and promotes sports as a human growth experience. 200 coaches from Southern California schools attended. The MLC sponsors educational initiatives for men and boys that build character and foster social responsibility. Our partners in this initiative included LA84 Foundation and Positive Coaching Alliance.
