Download or read book The Coach s Guide to Teaching written by Doug Lemov and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2020-12-07 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mark of a great coach is a constant desire to learn and grow. A hunger to use whatever can make them better. The best-selling author of Teach Like a Champion and Reading Reconsidered brings his considerable knowledge about the science of classroom teaching to the sports coaching world to create championship caliber coaches on the court and field. What great classroom teachers do is relevant to coaches in profound ways. After all, coaches are at their core teachers. Lemov knows that coaches face many of the same challenges found in the classroom, so the science of learning applies equally to them. Unfortunately, coaches and organizations have a mixed level of understanding of the research and study of the science of learning. Sometimes coaches and organizations build their teaching on myths and platitudes more than science. Sometimes there isn’t any science applied at all. While there are thousands of books and websites a coach can consult to better understand technical and tactical aspects of the game, there is nothing for a coach to consult that explicitly examines the teaching problems on the field, the court, the rink, and the diamond. Until now. Intended to offer lessons and guidance that are applicable to coaches of any sporting endeavor including everyone from parent volunteers to professional coaches and private trainers, Lemov brings the powerful science of learning to the arena of sports coaching to create the next generation of championship caliber coaches.

Learn what coaches do not teach, not because they do not care, but because they just don''t know.

This book is a high-level overview of the areas that can take a player from being a bench-warmer to MVP. In a day and age where many so-called experts'' advice is to improve your conditioning, get more touches, try harder, and you need to want it more, this book stands out on delivering the steps to turn any player into a great performer. Who this book is for: -The defender who does not know which direction to push an attacker or how to position their body correctly. -The midfielder who does not get enough assists and is not considered to be the team''s playmaker. -The striker/attacker/forward who does not score at least 2 goals a game. -The soccer player who needs a surefire confidence boost that can only come from game-ready knowledge. -The parent who loves their child playing such a beautiful sport, but hates to see them struggle with a lack of confidence in what to do. -The coach who only focuses on team drills, but knows that their squad can go further if their shooting power, passing form, and foot skills improved through the correct methods and increased IQ. Outcomes of applying the facts in this book: -Understand how to beat a defender every time (plus a few skills to avoid). -Condition your mindset to become one of a winner. -Remove the toxic habits you need to break. Correctly understand soccer to unlock everything you need to know about for every age including boys, girls, kids, teens, young adults, men, and women. You may ask "why should I order this book versus watching free YouTube videos?" Well, though YouTube can be used to supplement this book because videos show visual representations of the skills covered, each video is often unorganized and the order in which you watch the videos is NOT structured at all. This book provides that structure to ensure that you are not just getting a little information in one spot and some knowledge in another without being able to understand the entire picture of how it all works together. It gives every player the ability to walk onto a field and know that (1) your team will win and (2) you will lead them to victory! The skills you develop will move you forward in your playing career. Soccer Training contains the facts that will empower every player, trainer, mom, and dad. Please note this is not a picture book. It is time for hours of SOCCER TRAINING to pay off.
