This wonderfully witty and insightful book shows you how to be a sports coach who can motivate, excite, and inspire your young athletes. The hit series Ted Lasso showcased a style of coaching superior to the traditional “drill sergeant” coach. This book captures those values. If you want to become a different kind of coach – one who inspires and excites your athletes – this book is for you! Written by a coach with decades of experience with multiple sports, this book is chock full of specific tips for making practices and games fun, focused and successful. The book also describes various behavioral studies revealing how children learn and develop talent, supporting many of the tips in the book. Coaching kids devoid of inspiration is like drinking Coke without the fizz. Perfectly acceptable, but it lacks pizzazz. This book is about how to put some fizz in your Coke. Whatever sport you are coaching – soccer, basketball, baseball, football, hockey, volleyball, swimming, or others – this book will help you become a coach your team will never forget!
