To Be a Better Coach is both an extremely practical and deeply philosophical approach to working with young developing athletes in any sport. Being both a head coach and employer of close to a dozen other part-time coaches, I would absolutely use this systematic and thoughtful pedagogy to create a team culture where athletes and coaches strive to get better every day in a safe, mindful and uplifting fashion. I would recommend this book to any coach who is looking to improve and educate his or her staff as well as reminding all coaches why our job is so important.
