Opis

Being an effective youth sports coach requires depth much greater than the ability to teach fundamentals of a respected sport. Regardless if a person has been chomping at the bit to coach a youth sports team or if they merely drew the short straw, they're in for an adventure. The Coaching Youth Sports Book was developed so more people can make their coaching adventure a joyful as well as highly effective journey. Articles, books, blogs, etc., are readily available regarding tips and input for coaching a specific sport, i.e., basketball, soccer, baseball, hockey, lacrosse, football, field hockey, softball, volleyball, water polo, ultimate, track and field, etc. However, until the development of The Coaching Youth Sports Book, resources were scarce concerning a guide for a new or first time youth sports coach on how to manage the things that can either make or break a season. After all, 85% of youth sports coaches are just average, everyday moms and dads that are willing to give up free time to coach and mentor. The subtitle of the book is Beyond the X's and O's. The book consistent of 21 chapters that details how an average, everyday person can be a life long influence by coaching youth sports. Each chapter starts with related Biblical Scripture. The chapters range from The Differences Between Coaching Males and Females to How to Handle Conflict. The book also details the Expectation of Coaching Youth Sports and also talks about the very popular subject of Coaching Your Own Child Additionally, the book also touches on the controversial subject of Winning.
