STUART, FL. (July 22, 2011) – The National Council of Youth Sports (NCYS) is pleased to announce it has endorsed the Always Positive (AP) movement teaming up to create positive environments in youth sports and healthy lifestyles for stronger neighbors and communities.

“Win, lose or draw, whether in athletic competition or in life, a positive attitude is critical to succeed,” said NCYS Executive Director Sally Johnson. “Attitudes are contagious and an Always Positive banner is a movement the National Council of Youth Sports is proud to rally around for the benefit of the athlete, the team, the family, the community and the world.”

NCYS will assist AP in creating a global movement for people and organizations to come together with the courage to cause positive change, the character to live with integrity, and the commitment to make a positive difference.

Bob Rusch, President of Always Positive said, “We are excited to partner with NCYS because as a relationship-based organization we believe the best way to create cultural change is to partner in recruiting, educating and mobilizing individuals and organizations to share the Always Positive philosophy with their sphere of influence.”

Rusch continued, “We are frequently asked is it really possible to be ‘Always Positive’? Truthfully – it’s hard — real hard, but if you allow your circumstances to dictate your attitude it’s almost impossible. We believe you can Choose Your Attitude and that choice is the most powerful decision you can make each and every day. A positive attitude will ultimately produce gratitude, and grateful people are happier, healthier, live longer and experience more peace in their lives than negative people — despite their circumstances. Adopting positive thinking and optimism will help one achieve their goals easier, their success faster plus add energy, inner power and strength into one’s life.”

Joining the Always Positive movement is a simple 3 step process: pledging to choose a positive attitude, spreading the message, and making a positive difference. By taking the Always Positive pledge individuals and organizations join other ambassadors from around the world who are dedicated to creating positive cultural change by choosing a positive attitude and living the lifestyle in their family, work, school and community.

The Always Positive pledge states, “I believe in the power of a positive attitude and possess the courage to cause positive change. I will exhibit humility when I triumph and strong character when I fail. I will begin every day with a sense of gratitude for my gifts and the desire to use them to their fullest. I will end every day with the satisfaction that I gave it my all. When I fall short, I will respond with integrity and determination to improve. I will strive to inspire others to adopt a positive attitude as I commit my talents and influence to have a positive impact on the world I touch. I am Always Positive.”
