Since its 1998 launch at Stanford University by Founder and CEO Jim Thompson, PCA has impacted more than 6 million youth athletes served by roughly 3,000 schools and youth sports organizations that have partnered with PCA to develop:
- The Double-Goal Coach®, who strives to win while also pursuing the more-important goal of life lessons through sports;
- The Second-Goal Parent®, who concentrates on life lessons, while letting coaches and athletes focus on competing; and
- The Triple-Impact Competitor®, who strives to impact sport on three levels by improving oneself, teammates and the game as a whole.
Support for PCA comes from corporations, foundations and individual donors, as well as a National Advisory Board of top athletes, coaches, academicians and business leaders, including National Spokesperson Phil Jackson.
