Book Description
Excerpt from Character Through Recreation The importance of the subject presented, together with the newly awakened interest in play, should be sufficient reasons for the appearance of another book dealing with the problem of amusements. The fol lowing pages owe their inspiration to the offer of the American Sund ay-school Union for prize manu scripts dealing with the relation between recreation and character. The author confesses also to a lively interest in the subject, from many years' experience with young people, - those most vitally concerned with play life. Avoiding a philosophical treatment of the subject, - which field is already covered by various excel lent treatises, e has endeavored to confine him self to a presentation of the results ao complished in the various phases of uplifting and profitable entertainment. Though, in some degree, actual methods are outlined, the book does not pre tend to be a compendium of entertainment plans, many comprehensive works already filling that field also. Its design is rather to show a vital connection between amusement and the well-being of society, a kinship between recreation and righteousness, - and to plead especially for the exercise of the normal function of play in young life, 'which shall build a new generation, physically, intellectually.

Book Description
Excerpt from Recreation: Its Character Building Influence, Its Part in the Community Life Bhind every activity of the Recreation Department stands the guiding hands of professionally trained leaders. This somewhat intangible quality is in part inherent and partly gained through intensive study and wide experience. A recreation setup may be very rich as a physical plant such as well-equipped community centers, playgrounds and swimming pools; these features are very important in a well-rounded program but unless they are supervised and directed by persons who have the philosophy of recreation the objectives will not be realized. Recreation leadership has become a profession. A vast body of literature, both technical and for the layman, has been written. The fast pace of modern living with the many complexities which it has brought about has created problems which were unknown a few years ago. The minds of individuals of all ages must be directed into healthy channels during their free hours. Recreation Leaders the country over noticing this, are directing their programs to this aim. While it is true the colleges and universities each year are giving more ade quate training to recreation leaders, it is equally true that as a profession recrea tion leaders face the necessity of continuous training by staff members while in service. Professional growth in a marked degree inevitably results from carefully organized and wisely guided committee work. This is accomplished by the dime? Tors' meetings, the training courses and the development of a directors' hand book with its rich opportunity for work in the field of program planning and leadership. Conferences - local, district and regional, are sources for professional growth and inspiration. Continuous reading and study of recreational publications afford opportunity for development. The Recreation Training Institute held in San Francisco in March, 1938, was conducted by the National Recreation Association, in collaboration with the Recreation Commission. The purpose was to present new. Interpretations of objectives in recreation; to establish high standards of execution in leisure time guidance; to introduce a fresh viewpoint in recreation workers and to help them increase their skills in conducting activities.

Book Description
"Pete Paciorek has taken on an important leadership role with his character curriculum to teach the important lessons that at the end of the game, and at the end of the day, identify the true winners." --Fred Claire, Los Angeles Dodgers World Series Champion General Manager. "Pete Paciorek is a trailblazer in character development in youth sports. He has conducted extensive research on character literacy and I feel that he has crafted the most impactful character development curriculum available in the youth sport industry today." --Dr. Michael Sagas, Professor and Chair of Department of Tourism, Recreation, and Sport Management at the University of Florida. Sports play an integral role in the development of our children and young adults in America. Yet, over the past decade, the delivery system of character through sports has gone off course. The author, long-time coach Pete Paciorek, provides a thorough analysis of the two major causes for this decline and, more importantly, he provides systematic solutions for parents, coaches, and sports managers to help bring back the sanctity of youth and amateur athletics. This guidebook is designed for facilitating a building-block approach for the user in promoting and assessing life-long character growth through the vehicle of athletics. The content provides a unique blend of the theoretical studies on youth and amateur sport, the author's University of Florida supported research projects, and 25 powerful contributions from the likes of Olympic gold medalists, World and National Champions, and 40+ year veteran youth coaches. The triangulation and intersection of these three components supports the author's 25 character value curriculum. This book makes for an inspiring and motivational read through personal narratives and real-life defining moments in sports that translate into success in life after sports. The content of this guidebook provides the foundation of Pete Paciorek's non-profit organization, "Character Loves Company," which he established as a means to mentoring junior high school and high school students across the country through his 8-week Character Literacy Development (CLD) curriculum. Find the supplemental guide for coaches and parents at the end of the book.
