Be The Ultimate Sports Coach: The Definitive Practical Guide To Coaching Youth Sports. The How, The Why, And What To Avoid.

I wrote this book for every child who ever participates in team sports. I firmly believe that every coach's top priority when coaching should be the betterment of the kids he coaches. If the information in this book helps some coaches better help their players, then the book has served its purpose. I did not write this book as an, "ABCs," directive to coaching, because coaching is like a marriage or raising children in that there can't be a perfect instruction manual. While I believe very firmly that some of the things I preach are absolutely correct in the coaching arena, I realize that everyone's coaching situation is different. For anyone to be adamant about exactly how to handle every aspect of coaching would be terribly naive and shortsighted. What you will read is a series of vignettes describing various coaching situations I have encountered and how I handled them. In some cases, I relate situations that I have watched other coaches deal with; some good and some not so good. In those instances, I help you to see options that will get the best results out of the players. (That's the goal, right?) You will see that I follow the same set of principles in all that I do. From that, you will determine what I deem to be the most important aspects of competitive athletics and why. While I take the responsibility of coaching very seriously - you probably have not met a more competitive person than I - I do not take myself too seriously. Much of what you read will have my offbeat sense of humor injected into it. Hopefully, that will make this an easy read while still being helpful as you prepare to embark, or continue, on your coaching journey."
