Book Reviews of Know Yourself as a Coach
Book Review: All coaches are not created equal!
Summary: 5 Stars
I like coaches and have a great passion for my profession. The opening page in the first chapter struck a chord with me and I was hooked. As a young coach I made the mistake of trying to emulate different coaches that I respected. It took my college coach ordering me to be myself to make me stop and think about what I wanted as a coach and how my personality meshed with those coaching goals. I became a better coach and enjoyed my profession a great deal more as a result.
Denny Kuiper examines in his book a wide range of topics that all relate to the coaching profession and include some of the following: What is coaching, examining yourself as a person, putting your people skills to work in coaching, thinking outside the box, etc.
This is a great book to get a coach to think about his/her personality, his/her goals, strengths and weaknesses, and how to maximize his/her potential as a coach by better understanding their mental make-up as a person and what drives them.
I despise "touchy-feely" stuff and this is not what this book is about. It is a valuable tool for any coach, regardless of years of experience.
