Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coaching Football with the adolescent brain in mind is a partnership between leading Educational neuroscientist Dr Perry Walters and TheFootballCoach. The book brings together a mixture of theoretical information with practical coaching sessions to help develop psychological skills. The book includes 8 theoretical chapters, from 'The emotional spark of adolescence', to the 'emerging social brain'. The book provides an insight into the changes within the adolescent brain and how these changes influence individuals within the football environment. This also allows for the book to detail the opportunities for coaches to develop psychological skills within the young person at different moments and times, as well as strategies and approaches to support players through these moments. Dr Perry Walters has also been renowned for his use of the 'Red and the Blue' approach to dealing with emotion in sport and helping players to recognise their emotional state and understanding how this might influence their performance and mindset. The approach has also been well used by coaches to recognise and understand the emotional state of players and help the players without the need of a psychologist for support. This concept has been a fantastic success with young players. The sessions included are also built to help players develop psychological skills within players. They look to create moments and behaviours from players. These include emotional control, resilience and other psychological factors. The theoretical information in the book will be important to understand, in order to best use the sessions to drive improvements in players ability to play with control and composure.

Download or read book Coaching Football Like a Basketball Coach written by Kenny Simpson and published by R. R. Bowker. This book was released on 2020-11-14 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Football clearly is not basketball or baseball or any other sport. However, the changes we are seeing in football have more to do with the use of space and the ability to "adjust" plays. This concept is seen easily through the game of basketball as it is a fluid game that requires adjustments each time up and down the court. Many football programs are embracing this concept in their own programs. The goal of this book is to cause you to think of "why" you are teaching skills and drills to your players, and to cause you to know the "why" of your scheme and how it must be able to adjust. This book is geared for football coaches. While it uses concepts from Basketball to prove some points."Coach Kenny Simpson has scored another touchdown with his book. Outstanding read that will help any coach grow and improve. Great wisdom and insight in relating football coaching to basketball." - Tim Horton, Running back coach Vanderbilt University"This is a dynamite read! Coach Simpson has taken a unique look at coaching football by learning from another sport: basketball. As I read this book, I was really inspired to think more deliberately about football teaching methods. I enjoyed his take on "As football coaches we do XYZ, but basketball coaches do ABC." He then goes on to explain those differences, while at the same time making football coaches critique their own practice "why's and how's." I think this is tremendous offseason reading as coaches evaluate themselves and their practices." - Chris Fore, Eight Laces Consulting, California Coaches Association President"Coach Simpson is a class act. He is always connecting and trying to help coaches. Coach takes a fresh approach with this new book and it's a slam dunk".- Shea Monroe, Alabama Spread and Defense Clinic"Coach Simpson has done it again! This book challenges football coaches to become more dynamic in their approach to teaching the game. Coaching "concepts over plays" will allow coaches and players to have a deeper understanding of their playbook and how it can be used in every situation." - Brent Morrison, Head Football Coach at Westerville Central High School, Ohio"Coach Simpson's book should be on every young coach's reading list regardless of scheme or style. It's a valuable resource to any football coach in today's game." - Kevin Swift, AD/Former Head Football Coach Gold Beach High School, Oregon

Download or read book How To Coach Youth Football written by Howexpert and published by Howexpert. This book was released on 2020-01-12 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We hear the reports and see the video all too often: youth coaches and officials assaulted, fights breaking out at youth sporting events, and parents and coaches losing control over what should be a child's game. It doesn't have to be that way. What we don't see are the thousands of youth football coaches who do it the right way: teaching the game and the ethos of the game to children who love to play. Coaching youth football can be one of the most exciting, exhilarating, and rewarding experiences. It takes a tremendous amount of hard work, and an ability to communicate with other coaches, players, and parents, but there are few things to compare with watching young people compete and win, or learn lessons that will help them for a lifetime. Teaching the game of football goes far beyond the white lines, beyond the techniques of blocking and tackling. Along with learning the fundamentals of the game, young people learn teamwork, sportsmanship, responsible leadership, and the need to work hard and prepare to reach goals. To avoid being one of those trapped in a nightmare, a youth coach must master the ability to relate to both players and parents. Above all, a coach must communicate. It is important that parents trust the coach. After all, parents are submitting their child to a game that is, by its very nature, physically brutal. Parents need to trust that the coach will have the best interests of the team, and their child, in mind at all times. When those interests collide, parents need to know why a coach makes certain decisions, and how that will affect their child. Along with communicating with adults, youth football coaches must be experts in understanding and relating to children. Youth football players have very little concept of the actual fundamentals of the game. They see a college or professional game on television and see long passes, break away runs, or big hits and the thousands of people who cheer while players celebrate. This is far from the reality of the game. Coaches must be able to demonstrate and teach fundamentals. Big plays come out of the ability to be fundamentally sound, and being fundamentally sound takes hour upon hour of watching, listening, and practicing. In the NFL, and increasingly in college, success is defined by wins and losses. The bottom line is paramount. This isn't necessarily different at the youth level; the bottom line is simply wider. Wins and losses are important, and no one wants to play for a loser. But, if a youth coach is successful, they create not only wins on the field; they also help to create joy in the hearts of children and parents, players who learn how to play and how to be leaders, and, most of all, a successful youth coach gives players the building blocks to be successful in life. HowExpert publishes quick 'how to' guides on all topics from A to Z by everyday experts.

Download or read book InSideOut Coaching written by Joe Ehrmann and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-08-02 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this inspirational yet practical book, the man Parade called “the most important coach in America,” subject of the national bestseller Season of Life, Joe Ehrmann, describes his coaching philosophy and explains how sports can transform lives at every level of play, from the earliest years to professional sports. Coaches have a tremendous platform, says Joe Ehrmann, a former Syracuse University All-American and NFL star. Perhaps second only to parents, coaches can impact young people as no one else can. But most coaches fail to do the teaching, mentoring, even life-saving intervention that their platform provides. Too many are transactional coaches; they focus solely on winning and meeting their personal needs. Some coaches, however, use their platform. They teach the Xs and Os, but also teach the Ys of life. They help young people grow into responsible adults; they leave a lasting legacy. These are the transformational coaches. These coaches change lives, and they also change society by helping to develop healthy men and women. InSideOut Coaching explains how to become a transformational coach. Coaches first have to “go inside” and articulate their reasons for coaching. Only those who have taken the InSideOut journey can become transformational. Joe Ehrmann provides examples of coaches in his life who took this journey and taught him how to find something bigger than himself in sports.He describes his own InSideOut experience, starting with the death of his beloved brother, which helped him understand how sports could transcend the playing field. He gives coaches the information and the tools they need to become transformational. Joe Ehrmann has taken his message about the extraordinary power of sports all over the country. It has been warmly endorsed by NFL head coaches, athletic directors at major universities, high school head coaches, even business groups and community organizations. Now any parent-coach or school or community coach can read Ehrmann’s message and learn how to make sports a life-changing experience.
