Coaching a youth sports team is as challenging as ever these days. Regardless if it's with 5 and 6-year-olds, an under ten football team or a more experienced rugby team with a squad of experienced players, coaches face a lengthy and imposing to-do list. Among the responsibilities are teaching skills, organising productive practices, managing game days, instilling life lessons and - most important of all - meeting the diverse needs of every child who is counting on you to make the season a memorable one for all the right reasons. As you embark on your journey, who better to help you navigate the twists and turns that accompany a youth sports season than some of the most respected professional and collegiate coaches around - Mike Krzyzewski, Joe Maddon, Karch Kiraly, Jenny Boucek, John Harbaugh, Ken Hitchcock, Charlotte Smith and Sean Payton among them - who share incredible insight and wisdom in SECRETS OF SUCCESSFUL COACHING.
