Welcome to JCW Foundation, Inc. – Coach’s Message

Dear Coach,

Welcome to the JCW Foundation family! We are thrilled to have you join us in our mission to empower youth, strengthen communities, and build brighter futures—one player at a time.

As a coach, you are more than just a leader on the court or field. You are a mentor, role model, and positive influence in the lives of the young people you serve. Your words, actions, and attitude will help shape how they see themselves, how they treat others, and how they rise to meet challenges in life—not just in sports.

At JCW Foundation, we believe that:

• Every child deserves to be seen, heard, and valued.

• Sports can be a powerful tool for teaching life skills, building character, and fostering community.

• Coaches play a key role in creating safe, supportive, and empowering environments.

We’re here to support you every step of the way—with training, resources, and a community that shares your commitment. Your presence matters. Your time matters. And your impact will last far beyond the final buzzer.

Thank you for stepping up to make a difference. Let’s inspire greatness together.

With gratitude,
JCW Foundation, Inc.
Driven by Purpose. Inspired by Progress.

2. Encourage Positive Behavior

All coaches and life coaches will model and promote good sportsmanship and respectful behavior—on and off the field.

5. Lead by Example

We will lead with integrity—demonstrating positive behavior through our words, actions, and attitude at all times.

6. Prioritize Player Wellbeing

We will place the emotional and physical wellbeing of our players ahead of personal desires to win games.

7. Use Respectful Language

We will speak respectfully and avoid profanity, bullying, or derogatory comments. Constructive feedback is welcome—tearing kids down is not.

8. Treat Everyone with Respect

We will treat players, parents, referees, and fellow coaches with dignity and respect at all times.

9. Support Every Player
