Book Reviews of Successful Coaching: America's Best Selling Coach's Guide
Book Review: Absolutely Fantastic Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Pros:
- lots of topics
- chapters are well-categorized and information within them make sense
- good for any sport (though it does have somewhat of a basketball lean)
- lots of good info-graphics, tables, checklists, pictures, etc so you are not just reading listlessly
- good information for all levels of coaching
- the list goes on and on - this is quite possibly the best book I have bought from Amazon so far
Cons:
- Big (over 500 pages)
- Would like to see more info in the "practice as games (paraphrase)" section
- Some information in the supplement breakdown is contrary to the information I am familiar with
** Added Bonus **
Apparently this book is also the curriculum for a college course, so whether you are just thinking about buying it and want more information, or you already own it and want a "quick reference" there is a very good support site here:
[...]
I have read several books on coaching, and this is by far, the most comprehensive. It is easy to read and quite informative. Covers areas including self-assessment, tactical and technical coaching, practices, psychology, communication (with players, officials, even assistant coaches!), staff management, and even record keeping!
