Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High school coaches shape millions of lives. These 30 short and inspiring stories show the diversity of approaches by coaches nationwide in building athletes' hearts, minds and bodies to form successful teams, strong individuals and future leaders. The coaches profiled in this book come from every corner of the nation and every socio-economic setting, highlighting how they combine imagination, a selfless commitment to their athletes and a strong internal compass. In this book, you will find true stories of coaches who lead male and female athletes in a wide variety of sports. "From these interviews and vignettes come narratives that will keep coaches going-even on days when players are ready to quit. They will quench the thirsts of professionals eager to drink from a well of peers' stories. They pack practical insights for how to build the trust and confidence that teenagers deeply crave and need," writes veteran journalist G. Jeffrey MacDonald in this book's Foreword. "Although the book is explicitly about coaching high school sports, it delivers many a transferable insight for parents, teachers, pastors and others who'd like to engage the teens in their lives more effectively. Who couldn't use more of that?" Duncan Newcomer, the Lincoln scholar who wrote the first volume in this series, Thirty Days with Abraham Lincoln, also emphasizes this book's broad and timely appeal. "There is an audience of good people doing deep work with young people, their bodies and their spirits, that is character building, virtue raising and soul-making. They will find in this book and its stories the truths they live and would want told, and they will tell others. " That's because Martin Davis so thoroughly understands the challenges high school coaches, players and their families face every day, writes University of Denver professor Brian Gearity in his Preface to this new book. "I'm a hardcore professor of sport coaching. I write a lot of long research papers with big words, which most people don't read. For over a dozen years now, I've taught college students what, why and how to coach. Now, I'll be using the stories in this book to show what sport coaching is all about. We will discuss the culture, time period, and psychology of the coaches and the storytellers in this book." Thirty Days with America's High School Coaches also comes with a complete Discussion Guide, which breaks down the book into themes and sections readers can discuss with friends, colleagues in sports, and people across the community.

Download or read book Building a Winning Culture in High School Sports and Beyond written by Jason Shea and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes a sports team successful? What is a winning team culture in sport?How do you build team culture in sport? What does a winning environment look like?How do the sports team core values and life lessons of a winning environment influence young athletes?Think back through your life and sports you played? Whether it be football, wrestling, lacrosse, basketball, or hockey, what was your culture like? What values and lessons did your coach teach you? How did your coach and team culture while participating in youth sports impact your life? Have you ever wondered why some high school sports teams, with no recruiting, and oftentimes smaller athlete pools, are so successful year after year? Why do some teams win state titles or consistently finish at the top of their division or state year after year? What is it that these programs are doing that allows this success to carry through graduating class after graduating class? To get a better understanding, I figured I should start with the coach. I reached out to the winning-est local coaches talked at length on how they built their winning culture and what they do to maintain it. Right away, it was easy to see, with their grateful mindsets, humility, and inspiring presence, why these coaches were so successful. I then reached out to coaches from all around the country. From Texas football coaches and Minnesota hockey coaches to Pennsylvania and Iowa Wrestling coaches to California Volleyball coaches, they all enthusiastically agreed to participate, and share their knowledge, culture building strategies and inspiring stories. With over 500 state titles, 30 national championships, and a continued formula for success in shaping the young men and women of tomorrow, these coaches and their programs exemplify a winning environment. Along with the inspirational stories to be told about each school's culture, we found commonalities across this broad spectrum of successful sports programs. We compared these commonalities to successful business, military, SWAT, and other organizational models that participated. We found that the lessons we learn and attitude/culture we develop playing youth and high school sports transcends the athletic field and serves as a cultural foundation for which many successful organizations are built upon.Over 150 hours of interviews including:*Coach Gary Joseph of 7X Texas Football State Champion Katy High School*Coach George Quarles from 15X State Champion Marryville High School Football*Coach Mike Messere of 15X New York Lacrosse State Champion West Genesee*Coach Bob Shriver of Current National Champion Boys Latin Lacrosse*Coach Greg Urbas of 11 X National Champion/29 X Ohio State Wrestling Champion St Edwards High School*Coach Jeff Jordan of 17X Ohio State and current national champion St Paris Graham Wrestling*Coach Russ Cozart of 34 consecutive years/452 match win streak/ 16 straight state title Brandon High School Wrestling*4X National Coach of the Year Miller Bugliari of 20 X New Jersey State Champion Pingry School Soccer*Coach Jeff Brameier of 10X Connecticut Lacrosse State Champion Darien Lacrosse*Coach Trent Eigner of National Champion/Minnesota State Champion Lakeville North Boys Hockey*Coach Bill Hansen from 17X state champion/6X national champion Catholic Memorial Hockey*Coach Bret Almazan-Cezar of Volleyball National Champion/ 11 time California State champion Archbishop Mitty*Coach Hal Wasson of 8X Texas Football State Champion Southlake Carroll High School*Tom Landry Award Winner Coach Larry Hill of 3X Texas State Finalist Smithson Valley Football*A Retired U.S. Military Colonel*A former Marine who worked for mother Theresa, taught high school students, and climbed Mt Everest*A 3 time cancer survivor*Two Multi-Billion dollar company executives and other business and organizational leadersand more.Pick up your copy today and start a tradition of excellence

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first question anyone should have for me is "Why would anyone be interested in an autobiography about my life as a coach?" That would be a fair question, since I haven't won any national championships nor have I been in demand for speaking engagements. If you compare my coaching record to others, my won-lost record doesn't stand out. With that said, let me explained what I have to offer, and then you decide. This book is not just about my life as a coach, but rather, the lessons I have learned through my coaching career. Old school is about coaching kids and young adults, not a particular sport, gender, age, or level of play. I have coached on every level of play that exists and coached both genders on those levels, along with almost every sport that a school offers.

Book excerpt: If you want your business to grow, you need to be able to rely on your ability to hire talent reliably and consistently. No talent pipeline? No growth, and no business. But your recruiting team is drowning (I asked them). They need help. Now, if you ask recruiters, they will ask for headcount. Or more technology. But more bodies and more tools won't solve the issue (though it will eat up your budget). What you need a is a better strategy. And that strategy is called employer branding.Employer branding is about understanding, distilling and communicating what your company is all about in order to attract all the talent you need. That will differentiate your company as a place where people will want to work, rather than a place they land because they didn't know better.If you've heard about employer branding in business magazines, it might seem like something only "big companies" can do. Something that requires a dedicated team, expensive platforms, or a bunch of consultants. That isn't true. If you understand where your brand comes from, and how to apply it, any company (especially yours) can hire better with it.And this book will teach you how to do all of that, and then some.In this book, you'll learn what employer branding really is, how to make a compelling argument internally to leadership that creates commitment, how to work with other teams and be creative in finding solutions. As a special bonus, we are including a handbook on how to work with recruiting teams. This hands-on workbook is chock full of examples, checklists, step-by-step instructions and even emails you can copy and paste to make things happen immediately.
