Why read it?
1 author picked Effective Coaching for Children as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I was lucky enough to be taught by the authors when I was doing my MSc in sports coaching. Both brought years of practical experience to their lectures, and this is reflected in the book. It gives a good overview of children's physical, mental, and social development from pre-school to teenage years.
I found it clear and helpful, and it reminded me of what is best for each age/stage of children when coaching them. I like the practical tips and ‘things to avoid’ paragraphs. Writing this review made me want to go back and read it again!
From James' list on youth sports coaches.
