The Coaching Boys into Men Playbook is a tool to help coaches deliver a critical message to young men: Help end violence against women by treating everyone with the same honor and respect that they give their teammates.

Recognizing the unique role coaches play in the lives of athletes, you can help leverage that role as a Founding Father and encourage coaches not just to win games, but instill respect for girls in their athletes as well.
