As coaches we should always look to challenge ourselves and I believe this book will challenge your thinking and help you think practically when you are out on the grass working with your players" " Do you coach children? Well, have you ever stopped to think what an important role you're playing in that child's development? How you are shaping them for future development? How you have been trusted by their parents to give their child a FUN, positive experience of football? Once you consider these questions, I'm sure you come to the conclusion that it is a big responsibility to make sure your development as a coach is on the same level as that you would expect from the children you are coaching. Therefore I think as a coach it's highly important to keep developing and drawing experience from others, to help better yourself and hopefully as a result help the children you are coaching reach their full potential.This book offers a great insight into the different aspects you might need to think about when coaching a group of children from psychological challenges, perception skills, technical skills, match based practices, fundamental practices and a whole lot more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern day youth sports environment has taken the enjoyment out of athletics for our children. Currently, 70% of kids drop out of organized sports by the age of 13, which has given rise to a generation of overweight, unhealthy young adults. There is a solution. John O’Sullivan shares the secrets of the coaches and parents who have not only raised elite athletes, but have done so by creating an environment that promotes positive core values and teaches life lessons instead of focusing on wins and losses, scholarships, and professional aspirations. Changing the Game gives adults a new paradigm and a game plan for raising happy, high performing children, and provides a national call to action to return youth sports to our kids.

Download or read book Becoming a Mentality Monster written by Thomas Jacob and published by Thomas Jacob. This book was released on 2020-06-20 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A step by step guide to developing a powerful mind and achieving your goals. What is a Mentality Monster? I first heard of this term when it was used by Jürgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool Football Club to describe his incredible players. Liverpool had won the 2018–19 UEFA Champions League - the most prestigious club competition in Europe. And during the next season, they were winning game after game in the Premier League. They went 44 games unbeaten. There were often matches where they would be losing in the beginning, only to make an incredible fight back and win. It was clear to me that this team was unlike any other. They seemed to have a different, deadlier mindset from other teams. So I started thinking more about what the coach meant when he described his team as Mentality Monsters. Is it a gift? Is it something that only a few people have? Or is it possible that it can be developed? Since I had spent almost two decades studying human psychology and peak performance, I decided to find out what being a mentality monster was all about.

Download or read book Teaching Tactical Creativity in Sport written by Daniel Memmert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-04-10 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creativity is an essential component of sport performance. The player who can make decisions that are both unexpected – and therefore less easily predicted by his/her opponent – and appropriate is the player who is likely to be successful. In this ground-breaking new book Daniel Memmert explores the concept of tactical creativity, introducing a new theoretical framework based on extensive empirical research. He argues for the importance of encouraging divergent thinking abilities at an early age, and explains how tactical creativity sits alongside conventional approaches to 'teaching games for understanding'. The book outlines essential rules for environmental and training conditions, and suggests a wide range of game forms for teaching and coaching tactical creativity to children and young people. This is important to all students, researchers, coaches and teachers working in physical education, sports coaching, sport psychology or skill acquisition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transformative Education aims decisively to transform the world of education and to nurture the next generation to become problem-solvers and creative thinkers, empowered with the necessary skills to make this world a better place. It provides practical methods for sustainable, integrative, and active learning, and investigates ‘the why’ behind these proven and effective methods. Discussing the different levels of subject integration in school, from intradisciplinary to transdisciplinary teaching, the authors analyse their potential holistic impact and knowledge retention effectiveness. With a substantial section on the efficacious teaching of the increasingly indispensable field of critical thinking, this book is built up first around a discourse of the intended methodology, secondly, it also includes a very practical mid-section with direct and meticulously described project ideas for teachers to try out, and finally a discussion and an analysis on what effects the proposed techniques might have and how teachers and students could be facilitated in their learning processes by school leaders and administrators. This pioneering endeavour is an important text for education professionals globally, as well as for the policy makers that regulate their work. It may also be of interest to parents and to a wider society. Additional digital resource content is available online and includes practical examples, explanations and video to help support sustainable, integrative and active learning.

This book was released on 2023-11-13 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past 30 years football in Japan has evolved at an unprecedented rate. From having no professional league and never appearing at a World Cup, the J.League is now one of the most keenly followed, best run, and eagerly scouted divisions in the world, the men’s national team is established as a regular challenger at international tournaments, and the nation’s women have enjoyed even greater success on the global stage. The positives are plentiful, but not everything is perfect with the beautiful game in the land of the rising sun. In Between The Lines, Sean Carroll takes you behind the scenes of the Japanese game, speaking to top players, coaches, and other insiders – including three former Samurai Blue managers – about their experiences of football in the country. These conversations form a multi-layered appraisal – and occasional critique – of the sport and nation at large, with Carroll’s in-depth study asking where Japanese football finds itself, how it got there, and where a nation of such vast potential can go next.

Its profound advice applies to many other parts of life.”—Bill Gates, GatesNotes (“Five of My All-Time Favorite Books”) This phenomenally successful guide to mastering the game from the inside out has become a touchstone for hundreds of thousands of people. Billie Jean King has called the book her tennis bible; Al Gore has used it to focus his campaign staff; and Itzhak Perlman has recommended it to young violinists. Based on W. Timothy Gallwey’s profound realization that the key to success doesn’t lie in holding the racket just right, or positioning the feet perfectly, but rather in keeping the mind uncluttered, this transformative book gives you the tools to unlock the potential that you’ve possessed all along. “The Inner Game” is the one played within the mind of the player, against the hurdles of self-doubt, nervousness, and lapses in concentration. Gallwey shows us how to overcome these obstacles by trusting the intuitive wisdom of our bodies and achieving a state of “relaxed concentration.” With chapters devoted to trusting the self and changing habits, it is no surprise then, that Gallwey’s method has had an impact far beyond the confines of the tennis court. Whether you want to play music, write a novel, get ahead at work, or simply unwind after a stressful day, Gallwey shows you how to tap into your utmost potential. No matter your goals, The Inner Game of Tennis gives you the definitive framework for long-term success.
