Best book on the Art of coaching

[Rafe Kelley]

I was curious if anyone had suggestions for books about how to coach as opposed to how to coach a specific sport I am looking for some materials to have assistant coaches study in our program.

[Chris Salvato]

What aspect of coaching? Like, the psychology of how to persuade people to do things they want you want them to or how to properly coach form?

[Rafe Kelley]

Well how to coach form falls more under the sports specific aspect what I am looking for is more about how to create good relationships with members how to cultivate authority etc.

This has been the go-to book for decades:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Win-Frie...m_srch_tsr_rtr

Other than that, the golden rule is...listen and then listen some more....most people will tell you what they are looking for.

[Andrew Wilson]

There this Olympic Handbook of Sports Medicine and Science: Sports Psychology edited by Britton Brewer, & it's extremely good.
