He cites studies by sports psychologist Joan Duda. In one study, Duda tracked 62 athletes at the 2000 O lym pic G am es in Australia. She found that athletes who were coached to m aster their skills and compete to the best of their ability won more m edals than athletes whose coaches focused solely on winning gold. It makes sense: Ath letes perform best when relaxed and confident, not w hen looking over th eir shoulder at a slightly apo plectic coach. T h om pson th in k s a coach can free his or her athletes by erasing fear o f failure. In its place, confi dence and joy take root. The kid continues to play and bump into the life lessons sports offer. That's Thom pson’s view of a new youth sports culture, and a grand one it is.
