Good resource for any sport on the mental aspects of athletic performance.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book is concise, written in language that a layman can understand, and is results oriented rather than all theoretical information. It is a great tool for a coach regardless of the sport. The authors understand coaches, the role coaches play in the development of athletes and the value of the coaching profession. That was a refreshing change from so many books written by people on athletic topics who have no understanding of coaches, what they do, and what they go through to do their profession. Topics covered include: Team Dynamics Effective motivation Building real confidence Developing concentration How to maintain composure Conducting effective practice sessions Also covered are topics just for coaches such as dealing with burnout and balancing family life with the coaching profession. Great book! Kevin Sivils - author of Game Strategy and Tactics for Basketball: Bench Coaching for Success Game Strategies and Tactics for Basketball: Bench Coaching for Success

This book covers quite a bit and isn't too technical. Many of the suggestions are doable with any level of sport.
