If most coaching guides look as if you'd need a coach just to get through them, you'll love this itty-bitty guide, which zooms in on the most important aspects of organizational-workplace coaching, from selecting an effective personal coaching style and preparing and shaping a coaching session to followup steps, dealing with barriers to coaching, troubleshooting, and more advanced coaching, such as team coaching, long-distance coaching, coaching plus appraising, and assessing your own coaching skills. On every page, boxed "power tips," quickie case studies and self-tests, to-do checklists, and easy-to-follow flowcharts demystify the process. Granted, if you're looking for specific or in-depth guidance, you may find this book too general in its approach. But if you're looking for a thumbnail guide to the basics, it'll do just fine.
It's worth mentioning that the book is also part of reference publisher Dorling-Kindersley's Essential Managers series--20 itty-bitty books on business and career topics ranging from communication, leadership, and decision-making to the management of time, budgets, change, meetings, people, projects, and teams. Combining the For Dummies series' talent for breaking down a lot of information into bite-sized bits and sidebars with Dorling-Kindersley's signature, crisp graphics on a gleaming white backdrop, they don't represent the cutting edge of business thinking and they don't necessarily reflect any unique individual perspective.
Instead, it's as though someone collated the best general thinking on these 20 topics and rolled them out into 72 brightly designed and easy-to-read pages, studded along the way with boxed tips, color shots of a multiracial cast of "coworkers" animatedly hashing through the workplace issues of the day, and a self-test of one's skills in the topic at hand on the last few pages of each volume. Again, they're not for anyone looking for in-depth or focused help on any of the subjects they cover, but they're perfect as a quickie general-interest reference... and let's face it, they're so cute, and look so smart in a neat little stack or row, that you'll probably want to buy a whole bunch to give to your entire department or staff. --Timothy Murphy

The Definitive Handbook for High School Fastpitch Coaches.......2003-03-25
I have coached for over ten years now and have found this book to be the most comprehensive, theoretically sound, user friendly coaching handbook on the market. Veroni has organized the information most effectively using charts and diagrams in addition to her commentary. This is THE book to purchase for both the beginning or experienced high school coach.
For Youth Softball - Good Reference.......2001-12-07
This book is comprehensive and is aimed at the coach of a team consisting of younger or much younger players. Kathy Veroni sounds like a tough, fair, and thorough coach. Imagine driving a group of late-arriving players 10 miles out of town and telling then to jog back to practice. No wonder West Illinois U has a great softball team.
However, as a captain of a mens' fastpitch softball team, with players who play once a week, this book did not help me much. The drills were just too involved and required a much higher commitment and lower physical strength than I have from the guys on my team. It's like using a college-level calculus text when all you want to learn is high school algebra.
Having said that, the big plus of this book is the VERY EXTENSIVE list of both defensive and offensive drills. This section of the book makes the purchase price worthwhile.
Great for High School Coaching.......2001-11-03
This is a very well laid out book and easy to follow. I would highly recommend this book for coaching high school or college age girls. Might be a little deep for younger athetes but could be adapted. Many drills are included in this book, and I found the philosophies especially interesting. Brought out a lot of simple points I had never thought of before.
Super Info-.......2001-10-22
Great Book! Gave mine to a friend and am ordering another. If you love your Coach, buy him or her this book.
Excellent Softball Book For Coaches of 12 & U and Up........2000-09-25
The book is a little more advanced than what I needed right now coaching 8 & U coach pitch softball, but it does a great job of showing you the direction your coaching should be going as the kids get older. That in turn has influenced how I teach these young girls. Many of the fine drills in this book are too advancd for my age group, but I was able to simplify them a little to make them easier for 7-8 year olds. If your coaching 6-10 year old kids and can only buy one book, this may not be the one. But it is a great book to have in your coaching library. The best I have seen, my kids just are not quite ready for it yet.

Customer Reviews:
Very helpful.......2007-05-13
This book had everything I needed as a first year softball coach. It's easy to follow with many helpful hints. There are many topics especially the emotional side of working with girls that I had not even thought about.
If Your'e A New Coach.......2007-03-26
This book has been very helpful to me, a new Little League coach. It is a very comprehensive publication to say the least. Before you get to the stuff you were probably buying this book for (i.e. drills, strategies, teaching)it delves into the things you probably didn't even consider (i.e. psychological/medical issues, motivating, discipline and dealing with parents). It has tips and suggestions all over the place for you to ponder. Plenty of illustrations and diagrams.of proper techniques for defense/defense, pitching/batting. A very useful tool.
A Good Guide for a New Coach.......2004-03-26
Thank You. I'm a father of two daughters (5 and 7) who has never coached before. Although I've played on a softball team at work, and am somewhat familiar with the game, I never actually played little league when I was a kid. With so few coaches however, one of my neighbors asked me to help her coach.
I was a little nervous about giving these girls any bad information. At this level you should just be reviewing the basics, but since I was never actually formally taught what the basics are, I didn't want to miss anything. I also didn't want to teach them something that might have the potential of hurting them by accident. After reading this book however I feel much better. It covered a lot of the things I might have overlooked, and gave me the confidence I'll need to get in front of these kids and parents and not embarrass myself.
The book was straightforward and easy to read (I got through it in about two days which was good for me.) I'd highly recommend it.
Outstanding Read.......2003-12-02
Kathy Strahan has done an excellant job at presenting all aspects of coaching in a very easy to understand approach.
Following her instruction would make any new and even seasoned caoch better.
Excellent Guide For Coaching Youth Softball.......2002-06-16
Kathy Strahan's book is one of the most recent, well-constructed guides for coaching softball to young girls. The book provides a detailed compilation of drills, skills, strategies, and other information designed to assist the coach through the process of developing the players' social, psychological, emotional, and physical abilities. It is categorized in a systematic progression which explores the characteristics of an effective leader, responsibilities of a youth coach, important issues within the sport, and how to plan and teach the basic fundamentals of the game. Some of the topics addressed within these categories include information regarding safety, liability, decision making, communication, teaching methods, motivation, dealing with parents, sportsmanship, and much more! Major points of information are synthesized into creative and insightful coaching tips, which can be easily referenced throughout the text. The author also provides sample practice plans, line-up sheets, game strategies, evaluation worksheets, and goal setting plans. Ultimately, this book will guide you toward becoming the coach that every community, league, school, and parent wants for their children!
Book Description
This guide to coaching female athletes of all ages shows how to build a team and provides invaluable advice on the differences between coaching males and females. The authors include exercises that foster teamwork and develop essential skills. They also answer parents' most common questions, such as how to tell if the coach is doing a good job and what to do if a child wants to quit. Filled with stories about the Olympic and World Cup championship teams, this useful handbook is infused throughout with DiCicco's philosophy that at every level playing soccer (or any sport) is about "playing hard, playing fair, playing to win, and having fun."
Customer Reviews:
Pretty "Good".......2003-07-03
I enjoyed this book. It was exectly what I expected, a little bit of insight, a little bit of instruction and a little bit of personal observation.
It is a great book for any new coach or someone looking to get some ideas, but it wont make you a better coach or change your life.
Good new coach book with many team building exercises.......2003-01-21
I read this book after reading Anson Dorrance's Training Soccer Champions and Lauren Gregg's The Champions Within. This book is better for the new coach who may be just forming their coaching attitudes and style. For coaches of totally dedicated Premier level teams or higher, the other two books are probably better. Catch Them Being Good shares many of the viewpoints of the other two books on building teams, motivating players, and forming strong positive attitudes. The other two books had better technical information and (perhaps because I read them first) struck me more powerfully than this one. This book was more readable for a beginning coach. I think the team building exercises are a real plus and are the biggest items I will take away from reading this book.
My Experience.......2002-12-04
Ok, this book is wonderful. Tony and Colleen put it all together for you coaches and parents out there! The truth in black and white. I am a product of this type of coaching. I was blessed to have been a soccer player who was led by Dr. Colleen Hacker at Pacific Lutheran University. She caught me being good more often than bad and I thrived mostly as a young woman but also on the soccer field. The book takes you through the life of a season from the very beginning to the end. Tony gives examples of experiences he has had with players/coaches on the US National Team. A valuable tool and great food for thought.
Book Description

excellent beginner's guide to soccer.......2007-08-09
Easy to read and understand. Good pictures. Very helpful if you have never coached before or just want to improve your knowledge of coaching.
Comprehensive Coaching Guide.......2007-04-10
New coaches will learn everything they need to know. In addition to the drills and strategies, you'll also learn how to motivate kids, how to deal with their parents, and much more.
Must Have For All Coaches.......2006-03-10
This is a must have book for soccer coaches, especially coaches of girls soccer. I also recommend it for coaches of boys since 98% of the material translates over. The book not only details performing specific skills, tactics and team management, but also covers team and individual motivation and correction styles. This is where the book becomes a little more specific to females then males, which is a good thing because there are a lot of male coaches that coach all girl teams, and they need to understand what motivates boys doesn't work with most girls. While boys tend to be motivated by accomplishment, girls are motivated by relationships. Understanding that will be rewarding and help you bond with your players and develop them as a team.
Read this book and you will dramatically improve your coaching!
The ultimate guide for coaches of girls' soccer teams.......2006-03-05
This book is all it claims to be. Clear, useful, full of great advice and fun training games and drills. Not a book about the author, but a real accent on the girls themselves. Brilliant.
It's been a bible for me for two years and I've recommended it to all my fellow coaches (who all want to know my 'secrets'!!)
Thanks John!
Not just for girls.......2003-03-04
After coaching, reffing, and helping to run leagues for 15+ years I am always on the lookout for ways to keep myself fresh and relevant to the kids I have the pleasure to deal with. If every coach could start with this book the world of soccer would be a funner place. This may not be the only book you ever need as you advance, but the broad range of advice, attitude, basic knowledge, and practical tips make this one a "must have". My only gripe is the title, there is some information specific to girls but so much of it is just plain good I hate to see someone miss it because the only coach or have boys.

Great for anyone who is thinking about coaching........2007-03-21
I bought this for my wife who has no formal training in coaching or teaching. It is the first book she's read in years. She still carries it around in her car. She made all kinds of plans - coached in two tournaments and even won one of them. Now she's all about coaching. I think she's found a new love. She never would have done this without the book. If you are thinking about coaching, but just don't know what to do, get this book. You might find that it is all you need.
Excellent Girl's Basketball Book.......2007-01-14
I'm a new coach and found this book an easy read, but packed with good tips and drills. Works on basics, and doesn't come across as a boy's book titled differently for girls. I would suggest you read this book a couple of times before the season begins. The book points out the importance of planning your practices, it is right!
Beginner Coaches -- Buy this one!!!.......2004-12-06
This book is great for girl coaches from new to experienced. It is for the coach who wants to learn how to coach basketball the right way. I am a coach and have three daughters and I would hope that any coach that teaches any of my children would have at least a working knowledge of the information in this book. It is an easy read and a good reference book.
Great for the new coach.......2003-10-25
The author expertly guides the reader through the entire coaching process. Not only the sport and the basics, but also the the most important parts of coaching youths: planning, preperation and Parents! I am also impressed with the in-depth examination of the differences of coaching girls and boys. I definately recommend this book for new coaches of girls.
Buy it, you won't be sorry!.......2003-01-19
This a very good basketball book for new, aspiring or even coaches with 2-3 years experience ... even if, like me, you are just a parent looking for ways to help your daughter take it to the next level.
***Especially good for fathers or male coaches looking for insights into how to be most effective with the young, female player!***
If for nothing else, the chapter highlighting the differences between the youth male and female players made this purchase well worth the price. Now I know how to better "reach" girls in *any* sport -- especially my own.
The other coaching tips and drills were icing on the cake. Let me know if the author ever publishes a sequel!
Play hard, have fun.

Great General Book.......2007-01-11
Great book outlining a proven method of setting up a successful program which was what I was looking for.
What every coach should know about building and maintaining a football program.......2006-12-08
Coach Allan Trimble has a 111-9 record and six consecutive Class 6A state championship titles. And his winning list goes on and on...
His book is a step by step guide on how to start and maintain a successfull football program.
This book covers the I-formation (power running game with a wide open passing attack) and a versatile multiple defensive system. Which, he used to win a 32-2 career playoff record and 25 consecutive playoff victories.
This book is very user friendly. Coach Trimble uses tons of pictures and diagrams. If you do not understand what he is talking about, all you have to do is look at the pictures. If you are looking for a play book, here it is. This book is great for youth to college level.
If you want to read about another coach that has reached the same level of success, read "COACHING FOOTBALL SUCCESSFULLY" BY Bob READE

Customer Reviews:
for american coaches only.......2005-02-06
I couldn't find much help from this book. However, I'm Swedish and how to start a program here is really different from in the USA. The stunting section was very short. The illustrations to the dancemovements were adequate but sometimes not enough descriptive. There are other books out that will tell you the same things, and more. I recommend "the ultimate guide to cheerleading" by leslie something.
Great for a first-time coach, but.......2004-12-31
A must-have for all coaches. There are a fair variety of motions and jumps depicted, but they are drawings rather than photographs. Also, there is no visual depiction of how to prep for a jump, and this book starts you off with a thigh stand instead of stag stunts but there are stunt variations here not shown in "The Offical Cheerleaders Handbook" or "The Ultimate Guide to Cheerleading" and the photographs lead you pretty much through the whole sequence.
Also in its favor it does have great tips on:
*forming a team
*keeping on top of your legal responsibilities
*developing a practice plan
*reaching out to parents and the community
*building up your members' self-esteem
*evaluating and tweaking your program
My advice is to buy this book in conjunction with the other two mentioned above to get the most knowledge of cheerleading basics.
Coach ~Jen
Coaching Cheerleading Successfully.......2002-12-18
I recommend this book to anyone interested in coaching or advising cheer. One of the best purchases I have ever made, and I bought one for my entire coaching staff. I also run a training website and discussion group and constantly urge my visitors and participants to buy this great resource for coaches of today. A true cheerleading must-have!
This is perfect for beginners as well as long time coaches!.......2001-08-07
I enjoyed this book! I use it with every turn in cheerleading coaching. I have been coaching for the last 11 years and this is one of the best resources that I have come across. I use this for both my All Star Team as well as my Varsity High School Team. This is perfect for the coach or advisor, however I would not suggest this book be viewed by the cheerleaders. This would confused them more than what they are already when any season starts. Coaches get your hands on this one!
An AWESOME book for new coaches.......2000-05-19
A very informative book for new coaches or as a refresher for more established coaches. Covers alot of organizational information regarding cheerleading practices, try-outs and how-to's for starting a new program. I also used this book to inform parents and school board officials on establishing a school program. No coach should be without this book!
Book Description
Coaching Volleyball Successfully concentrates on teaching the club, junior high, or high school coach how to explain, demonstrate, and direct the practice of fundamental skills and strategies of volleyball. This book is not limited to teaching coaches how to perform required volleyball skills, but rather focuses on how to teach these skills to young or inexperienced athletes. The book is also designed to help coaches with high-level sport skills tailor their instruction to meet the basic needs of beginning players.
Used as the text for Level 1 of USA Volleyball's Coaching Accreditation Program (CAP), this book is full of proven techniques that make it ideal for home study and as a reference at team practices. Because coaching involves two distinct functions, teaching skills and organizing practices, Coaching Volleyball Successfully is divided into two sections.
The Volleyball Coaching Guide details how to perform and teach fundamental volleyball skills and includes over 40 drills and activities to help your players improve their skills quickly.
The Volleyball Planning Guide explains how to plan your season and conduct effective practices with ready-to-use practice plans that will help prepare your players for their first match.
Customer Reviews:
Good basic book, with good perspective.......2000-01-22
This book is used as the textbook for the first level of the Coaching Accreditation Program for USA Volleyball. It has a good broad perspective on the game, how to motivate and how to teach the skills. It also goes the through season and practice planning and breaks down the process in a very basic manner, which I found very useful.
A great beginning coach's book.
