Wish you had a book that was quick to read that doubled your confidence by pointing out the most important things to focus on with your team? Want to learn the #1 thing to build the bond between you and a player that takes less than 5 seconds. Ever have difficult players or parent(s) of a player and wish you knew the steps how to handle them in a way that is a win-win for both parties? If any of these situations describe where you are at, you are not alone. Working with the directors of your club, managing the expectations of your players' parents, and making an enjoyable experience for the players while also wanting to win is not an easy feat. I am impressed that you are taking up this sometimes thankless position as you are making a difference in your players' lives, even if they do not verbally tell you. As the coach, you are the leader of the team and should lead by example. The harder you work, the harder your team will work. There is not a perfect way to coach and it normally takes time to find the style that works best for you and motivates your players. This book will help you in that process. This book is NOT intended to be a complete guide on coaching because if you have ever coached, you realize that everything to know could not be contained in one book. Other author's tend to fill up their pages with coaching tips for various situations, but never really say which things to know are the most important and will make the biggest difference for your team. This book does exactly that. This book's main aim is to point out and provide help with the most important areas for you, the coach, to succeed with your team.
