One of the best books Ive read in recent years. Excellently set out, with great up to date research in teaching. I think this will be a big go to for coaches for many years.
Regardless of what sport you coach, this is a must read. If you enjoy learning theory, or if you just want to get better at helping your athletes get better, Lemov provides practical insight on how to sharpen your behavior to create a powerful learning environment. As a soccer coach, this book is clear and direct in its examples, since many of them come from my sport of choice, but the application is accessible and relatable across disciplines. It’s not a fast read. I always labor more with book...
Must read for coachesGreat depth of detail on many different coaching topics and specifics for how to implement the details. Your coaching experience doesn’t matter. This book applies to all of us.
Incredible book. It has transformed my approach to coaching and reminded me of key aspects to improve my teaching. I would strongly recommend it to any teachers or coaches.
Simply a phenomenal book. It covers everything that coach education books miss, and ties together so much of what can help develop wonderful, teaching coaches. Please buy this book now. Highly recommended to listen to Dan Abraham’s Sports Psychology podcast interview with Doug, it helps prime your brain for what you encounter in the book. Simply fantastic.
Required Reading for All coachesI wish I could go back and give this book to my younger self… would’ve saved me from a whole lot of mistakes. Cannot recommend this book more!
Excellent book!I read this from several perspectives - (1) leadership and (2) learning and development The book is about coaches teaching but there are so many leadership lessons - it’s gold. It also applies to organizational L&D beyond the pitch, court and field. So insightful
SO SO GOOD. Lots of great information and ideas on how to implement them and the why you should implement them.
