Call Me Coach

About the Book

All coaches share one common trait: they love what they do and are passionate about how they do it. Yet despite this shared common trait, it still can be challenging to identify what qualities make up a successful coach. When studying acclaimed coaches with different personalities, there is no question that each has grown to identify and then rely on a unique mix of skills to lead, teach, and build a winning team. So how do new or struggling coaches learn to stand apart from their peers in everything they do? Glenn Myers, who grew up in Northeast Ohio surrounded by high school sports, combines his experiences in teaching, coaching, school psychology, law, and community leadership to provide a comprehensive guide for success in coaching team sports. With a straightforward style, he “gets inside the game” to pull out the building blocks of successful coaching and provide the psychological and emotional components necessary to create a safe, positive team sport experience for new and novice players as well as for those who willingly accept the challenge to be called “coach.” Call Me Coach guides team sport coaches to find a personal style that leads to success and encourages a rewarding, life-changing experience for every player
