Know Yourself as a Coach

About the Book

"Players today are selfish and hard to coach."

"It's hard to get good team chemistry these days."

"I wish I could just coach and not deal with all the hassles with parents, administrators, and players."

Have you muttered such complaints to yourself or even spoken them aloud? If so, Know Yourself as a Coach can help.

In Know Yourself as a Coach you will learn how to

evaluate yourself as a person to determine what defines you and what motivates you-and how best to put that newfound insight to use;

assess your coaching style, analyze where your strengths and weaknesses lie, and decide how to use this knowledge to enhance your skills;

hone your people skills and put them to work for you; and

develop the mental side of coaching.

Whether you are an up-and-coming coach or a longtime veteran, Know Yourself as a Coach will give you new insights into yourself, your players, and your approach to coaching.
