Cliches Or Wisdom

“Sports teaches you character, it teaches you to play by the rules, it teaches you to know what it feels like to win and lose-it teaches you about life.” -Billie Jean King.

AND

“Sport teaches us development. It helps us learn things such as resilience, leadership, accountability, respect, and patience. Lessons that sports teach us can help us develop as players and all-around good people too.” – Dean Evans co-founder of The Football Centre.

Does Sports Really Build Character

It sounds good and it used to be true...however, these days it seems to be more the exception than the rule.   But there IS a program that delivers on values and it's called The First Tee of Central Washington.

We enable kids to build the strength of character that empowers them through a lifetime of new challenges. By seamlessly integrating the game of golf with life skills curriculum, we create learning experiences that build inner strength, self-confidence, and resilience that kids carry to everything they do.

Jump ahead to the summer of 2019 and First Tee of Yakima expanded to include Kittitas and Chelan Counties. and became First Tee – Central Washington.
