Sport Psychology for Youth Coaches: Developing Champions in Sports and Life

A good introduction to sports psychology relative to youth ahtletes. Development over "winning" as a goal is emphasized. Offers practical suggestions on how to approach various common situations and types of players. A quick read but one that I think I will return to for reference.

Great book for coaches, parents, or teachers. The authors do a great job of breaking down what motivates kids and how to deal with behaviors that are both positive and disruptive. They really stress the need to recognize improvement and effort without resorting to everyone gets a trophy situations.

This book deals with the mastery approach to coaching. It is very well set out and from using it in a season of coaching it really does get a response from the athletes.

Educational and practical solutions to get the best out of youth sport participants while teaching them useful tools they can use throughout their lives. A must read for all coaches involved in youth sports because they are the ones that can greatly influence an environment conducive to learning & awareness to contribute to their growth and development.

Good insight.

Very good ideas and suggestions which can be applied not only to youth sports but in every day situations. All parents of youths involved in sport should give this a read.
