Coaching 101: Guiding the High School Athlete & Building Team Success

Books that deliver sound advice and encouragement to high school coaches--and written by qualified and experienced people-are rare or nonexistent. Here's one.

We all want to win, and COACHING 101--featuring a foreword by NFL Hall of Famer Otto Graham--shows how. But this "Bible of Basics" is also designed to help cultivate a more positive learning atmosphere and to enrich staff rapport. It will help all coaches become better at what they do.

Coaching has always been hard work. Today, it's staggering. Where can young coaches turn for practical and proven guidelines to build solid programs, mold crucial relationships, and do things "the right way?"

Where can experienced coaches turn for reinforcement of their beliefs about "how it should be done" in high school sports?

College textbooks and methods courses lack practical instruction on how to lead high-schoolers through positive athletic experiences.

One good new idea is worth far more than the price of a book.
