A Piece of the Puzzle: Eight Traits of a Quality Teammate

Audience: Any Team, Group, or Organization

This is Coach Kush’s signature talk and the title of his latest book. How well do the members of your organization or team work together? Are you a smooth, well-oiled machine or a fractured collection of in-it-for-yourself individuals? In a straight forward no-excuses style, Kevin Kush discusses eight traits that can turn any group or organization into a cohesive, high-performing team. Including; respecting everyone, handling adversity, adapting to change, and the importance of having high energy and being accountable. Coach Kush’s passion for performance is contagious and will help lead your team to greater productivity and success!

The 100-Yard Classroom

Audience: Educators/Coaches working with youth or young adults

Getting kids from point “A” to point “B” is a goal of any teacher, coach, or parent. In this inspirational and practical presentation, Coach Kush explains his dynamic strategies for motivating youth to individual improvement and team achievement. Kevin Kush has had tremendous success with his Boys Town football team comprised of youth who have academic, behavior, and emotional problems. Many have never played organized sports. Coach’s strategies can succeed for you whether you work with kids in a classroom, on a school athletic team, or in a weekend recreational league.

Competing with Character

Audience: Parents and Coaches involved in youth sports

Let’s put sportsmanship and fun back in youth sports! With over twenty-five years experience as a teacher and coach, Kevin Kush thinks it’s time to create a youth sports environment where character, sportsmanship, and fun are once again priorities. Coach Kush examines the good and the bad going on today on youth playing fields, along the sidelines, and in the stands. He urges us to remember that children look to adults as role models and gives coaches and parents a repertoire of skills to use that demonstrate respect, responsibility, courtesy, and much more to children.

Doors of Opportunity

Audience: Youth grades 7-12

In this presentation Coach Kush cuts right to the chase and lays it on the line like only a coach can! Kevin discusses; the importance of choosing the right friends, how to set goals, overcoming adversity, making decisions big and small, and the importance of respecting everyone. Young people need direction to get through the doors of opportunity in front of them and Coach Kush shows them the way in this energy filled talk.

Playing on God’s Team

Audience: Christians from 9 to 90!

Speaking from the heart, Coach Kevin Kush draws an analogy between playing on a football team and working hard every day to make it on God’s team. Who is your head coach? The Bible is your playbook. You don’t know how much time is on the clock! What is your defensive game plan against temptation? These are all concepts that Kevin discusses in a truly unique scripture filled presentation.
