Coaching Boys into Men of Juneau congratulates the Juneau Douglas High School Crimson Bears Basketball Team on their State Championship win! Coach Robert Casperson, who coaches the Juneau-Douglas High School Crimson Bears basketball team, which recently won the state championship, is a longtime supporter of Coaching Boys into Men in Juneau and utilizes the program with his players on a regular basis.
Athletic coaches play a unique and influential role in the lives of young men, often serving as parent or mentor to the boys they coach. Because of this, coaches are uniquely poised to positively influence how young men think and behave both on, and off, the field. The CBIM program facilitates these connections by providing high school athletic coaches with the resources they need to promote respectful behavior among their players and help prevent relationship abuse, harassment, and sexual assault.
Coaching Boys into Men plans to host a training in the Juneau area on April 19 and 20 and would like to invite coaches interested in using the curriculum with their sports teams. The training is for school district coaches of male, middle, and high school athletic teams, as well as for athletic directors and school administrators who wish to become more familiar with the program and to learn how to best support male youth in ending gender based violence in their relationships, and teaching the value of bystander intervention in our schools and community.
Thanks to Coach Casperson for coaching his athletes to be a great basketball team, and to be healthy in their relationships.
