An interview with Jason Sacks, President at Positive Coaching Alliance.And so I think we need to get organizations to understand and then more specifically, to be able to hold their coaches accountable of what is this culture that you want to create that's going to provide the best possible environment for kids. And in order for kids to feel connected, they need to feel safe, they need to feel seen, heard and valued when they come to that, that practice, that game, whatever it might be.Jason SacksDoing youth sports right Fun in youth sportsKeeping kids in youth sportsCreating a positive coaching experienceDeveloping physical literacyPositive youth developmentAddressing sports equity gapsSetting kids up for success with youth sportsFostering positive coaching experienceshttps://www.movetolivemore.com/https://www.movetolivemore.com/bookhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/move-to-live-more@MovetoLiveMore

This episode features a conversation with Jason Sacks, President of Positive Coaching Alliance. For more than 25 years, PCA has worked to instill research and best practice in positive youth development into youth sports. There are more than 30 million young people participating in youth sports in the United States, although there are significant differences in access across communities, which is why a big part of PCA's work is to advocate for greater equity in youth sports. PCA also offers training and resources to coaches, officials, parents, and youth to overcome the significant gaps in knowledge and capacity around positive youth development in youth sports. In part one of their conversation, Jason and Jason talk about the origins of PCA and its founder, Jim Thompson, who began the program out of Stanford University more than 25 years ago, the state of youth sports today for more than 30 million young people, including issues of equitable access, the pressures of winning cultures on youth and adults alike, the gap in training for coaches and the evidence-based workshops and resources PCA has developed and delivers to build knowledge and capacity of coaches in positive youth development.In part two, they talk about the range of content PCA offers in its training and resources for a variety of audiences, including not just coaches but also officials, parents, and youth athletes themselves, the work PCA is doing to assess and provide solutions for local communities to provide greater access to positive youth sports experiences, articularly in under-resourced communities, the partnerships PCA engages in - from community organizations, to school districts, to large, national youth sports associations, the results PCA is seeing in changes in behavior among adults, the sense of confidence and self-worth among youth, and for communities, how many young people stick with positive youth sports programs over time. They also talk about connecting positive youth sports experiences to other important outcomes we care about for youth, such as engagement in school, attendance, and even academic performance. And they discuss PCA's plan to scale to reach seven million coaches over the next five years through advocacy, technology, and more partnerships. Additional Readings and ResourcesPositive Coaching AllianceJim ThompsonTraining & WorkshopsPartnershipsResults & ImpactGood Morning America segment: “Parenting playbook on how to handle bullying”Northwestern University Masters of Sports Administration Program

Air pollution is a familiar environmental health hazard. We know what we're looking at when brown haze settles over a city, exhaust billows across a busy highway, or a plume rises from a smoke stack. Some air pollution is not seen, but its pungent smell alerts you. It is a major threat to global health and prosperity. Air pollution, in all forms, is responsible for morethan7milliondeathseachyearglobally, a number that has increased over the past two decades. Air pollution is contamination of the indoor or outdoor environment by any chemical, physical or biological agent that changes the natural qualities or traits of the atmosphere. There are many pollutants of major public health concern-both outdoor and indoor air pollution–that cause respiratory and other diseases and are important sources of disease and death. WHO data show that almost all of the global population (99%) breathe air that exceeds WHO guideline limits and contains high levels of pollutants, with low-and middle-income countries suffering from the highest exposures. To help unpack and better understand this hard hitting issue are Heather Adair-Rohani, World Health Org/WHO Acting Unit Head for Air Quality and Health and Technical Lead on Energy and Health & Jason Sacks, with the EPA-is a Senior Epidemiologist in the Center for Public Health and Environmental Assessment (CPHEA) in the Office of Research and Development (ORD) at the U.S. EPA. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/healthy-radio/support

So Paul McCoy was pondering, as he often does, about the state of supernatural franchises in the world of cinema these days, and he realized the Twilight saga was a major hole in his watching. So Paul asked his friends Shawn Hill and Jason Sacks to watch the five Twilight films with him. We cover the first three films this week and will discuss the last two films next week. So in brief, what did we find this week? A hell of a lot of potential, at least. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jason-sacks/message

Chris Wunderlich again joins Jason Sacks to discuss a couple of oddball films. That's Chris's beat for Classic Comics Cavalcade, dontcha know? Today we talk about two classic Canadian oddball films, Guy Maddin's My Winnipeg and François Girard's Thirty Two Short Films About Glen Gould. Chris loves these movies and is delighted that Jason enjoyed both of these films.

It's hard to find two movies more opposite movies than All That Jazz and Singin' in the Rain. But the two movies can be seen as a kind of yin and yang when it comes to movie musicals. One is light, breezy and charming while the other is heavy, dark and self-lacerating. And yet both are astonishing films, movies that deeply inspite Keith Silva and Jason Sacks.

Eric Hoffman and Jason Sacks have been fans of DC Comics' 1980s take on the Shadow for a long time. WiIn this second of a two-part look at that comic series, Eric and Jason ponder the anarchic, memorable brilliance of this unique and bizarre comic series. Andy Helfer and Kyle Baker's The Shadow is creatively unwieldy yet astonishingly charming. For good measure, Eric and Jason also look at Baker and Helfer's equally great - and totally different - Justice Inc.

Paul Moyer joins Jason Sacks for the first of a series of discussions of 1970s dystopian cinema. This time: George Lucas's THX-1138 and Douglas Trumbull's Silent Running.

Eric Hoffman and Jason Sacks have been fans of DC Comics' 1980s take on the Shadow for a long time. With an introductory four-parter by Howard Chaykin and a follow up series by writer Andrew Helfer and artists Bill Sienkiewicz, Marshall Rogers and Kyle Baker, the comic looked great for its time. But does it still stand up today?

Jim Shooter is one of the most fascinating and controversial figures in comics history. Loved by some, hated by others, and misunderstood by many, Shooter stands alone as one of the most complex figures ever to work in comics. Several years ago, in preparation for Jim Shooter: Conversations, Eric Hoffman, Dominick Grace and Jason Sacks had the chance to interview Shooter for several hours. We will share that interview over the next several weeks. In part one, Shooter discusses his childhood, his traumatizing experiences working for the legendary Mort Weisinger, and Shooter's rise to the editor-in-chief role at Marvel.

In fact, that was the very first Critical Takes episode. This time around, Keith is joined by Jason Sacks, another comics scholar and historian who has worked on other texts within the American Comic Book Chroniclesseries.
