This wonderfully witty and insightful book shows you how to be a sports coach who can motivate, excite, and inspire your young athletes. The hit series Ted Lasso showcased a style of coaching superior to the traditional “drill sergeant” coach. This book captures those values. If you want to become a different kind of coach – one who inspires and excites your athletes – this book is for you!
Written by a coach with decades of experience with multiple sports, this book is chock full of specific tips for making practices and games fun, focused and successful. The book also describes various behavioral studies revealing how children learn and develop talent, supporting many of the tips in the book. Coaching kids devoid of inspiration is like drinking Coke without the fizz. Perfectly acceptable, but it lacks pizzazz. This book is about how to put some fizz in your Coke. Whatever sport you are coaching – soccer, basketball, baseball, football, hockey, volleyball, swimming, or others – this book will help you become a coach your team will never forget!
Bob Kyle has decades of success as a youth sports coach in multiple sports. The father of twin girls in the Washington, DC area, Bob began coaching his own daughters’ teams. Because of his distinct – and highly successful – coaching style, Bob has since been recruited by All-Star teams, sports leagues and area schools to coach many teams in multiple sports, including soccer, basketball and tennis. His teams are known not only for their sports ability, but also for their character, sportsmanship and “One Team” spirit. Perhaps his most memorable coaching experience was a basketball game coached against President Barack Obama, who was coaching his daughter’s team. Note: Obama was a good coach and a good guy. As a former senior White House official, Bob now teaches several graduate courses at Georgetown University’s Mc Court School of Public Policy. He teaches these courses employing many of the coaching techniques described in his book, including The Power of Rules and Repetition, Let The Kids Take Charge, and, of course, Fun Fuels Performance. Bob is a graduate of Cornell University, Oxford University (Marshall Scholar) and Harvard Law School.
