PURPOSE

The purpose of the OKC PAL Character Challenge is to identify moments within our program that allow us to teach our student-athletes about character traits they can utilize to be successful in practice, during games, at home, and in the classroom, all while building positive relationships with their coaches and Oklahoma City Police Officers. 

STRATEGY

Explain the purpose of the character challenge to your teams. Follow the weekly guide to know the character focus of the week. Utilize the coin I.D. cards to generate discussion points with your players throughout the week. Identify and positively reinforce the desired character attributes with the  OKC PAL Character Challenge Coins.

COACH’S GAMEPLAN

 Identify the character word of the week and explain it to your team.

  • Find ways to incorporate it into weekly practice and games 

  • Ask questions to gauge your team's understanding of the work. Please encourage them to share examples of the word and share examples of your own.

  1. Choose the player on your team who best exhibited the character word of the week.

  2. Contact your PAL Officer regarding your weekly character coin recipient. He or she will deliver the coin to your student-athlete.
