According to the PCA a Double-Goal Coach does the following: - Takes a mastery approach to sport rather than a scoreboard orientation, teaching athletes to make maximum effort, continuously learn and improve, and not let themselves be stopped by mistakes or fear of mistakes.
- Fills Emotional Tanks of athletes, refusing to motivate through fear, intimidation, or shame. Recognizing that a player's "Emotional Tank," like the gas tank of a car, must be full in order to go anywhere, the Double-Goal Coach provides a fuel mixed of five specific, truthful praises for every specific, constructive correction.
- Honors the Game by respecting ROOTS (Rules, Opponents, Officials, Teammates, Self).
