Book Reviews of Teaching Character Through Sport: Developing a Positive Coaching Legacy
Book Review: Five Stars Are Insufficient
Summary: 5 Stars
You've read, digested and implemented Jim Thompson's Positive Coaching materials. Now take a Graduate Course.
Bruce Brown's book is filled with wonderful ideas on how to create a sports culture where individuals and teams maximize the personal growth that is possible through athletics.
Personal favorites include sections on the qualities of "Great Athletes" - successfully introduced to players as young as 11 (and, more importantly their parents) - about the choices that athleted make. Similarly "Great Teams" explores the qualities found in the most successful teams. "Positive Conditioning" is an eye-opener (imaging what happens when the winning team in a game at practice does 20 extra push-ups) as well as great team-building exercises such as "Spotlighting". The section on how parents can be helpful participants in the process is also worthwhile.
Run, don't walk (can you do that on-line?) to get this book.
