Download or read book Thank You Coach written by Angus Reid and published by Abr Media. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are countless sports stories and books about how to coach and how to lead. Thank You, Coach is not one of them. Thank You, Coach is a story of the lasting impact great coaching and leadership can have on a person and is told in a sequence of charismatic and heartwarming stories by someone who learned from experience. As a young offensive lineman, author Angus Reid struggled to make it at the professional football level until a full coaching change placed him in the ever-capable hands of Coach Dan Dorazio. What occurred over their 11-year player/coach relationship helped him initially excel on the field as well as later in life. Thank You, Coach is so much more than a sports story. It is a testament to the importance of great coaching and the immeasurable value mentorship can have on a person. It is also a reminder to every coach, teacher, and leader that their instruction extends beyond this moment and can impact how people choose to live their lives in the years to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A powerful guide for both parents and coaches who want kids to have fun, enjoyable, and meaningful youth sporting experiences . . . I highly recommend it!” —John Ballantine, president and co-founder, Kids in the Game 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 thirteen, 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. “Changing the Game is, well, a game changer. It explores in both depth and breadth the youth sports experience, its blood, sweat, and tears. Any parent who wants their children to gain the physical, psychological, emotional, and social benefits of what sport has to offer (and isn’t that every parent!) better read this book. It will make you a better sports parent, and it will ensure that your children get all the good stuff and avoid most of the bad stuff from participating in sports.” —James Taylor, Ph.D., author of Positive Pushing: How to Raise a Successful and Happy Child

After recklessly pursuing his first love, he never imagined the intensity of the pain of rejection. Fortunately, he has his family and loyal friends to support him, including high school competitor, Henry Hamilton. After Henry and his family unknowingly whisk Chente away from his pain by hosting him at their mountain cabin for spring break, Chente grows closer to Henry and receives unsettling news from a medicine woman that the angel of death may be following him.

Download or read book The Outcasters written by Maestro Drake and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-11-28 with total page 701 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1995, I set out as an artist to create characters who were hideous, strange and did not fit within the normal boundaries of a modern society. The Circus Freaks, my 1st creations, are such examples of de-humanizing humans, placing them in a world where they are not accepted by the majority and must push their way uphill to gain power. After 15 years of creating many people, places and things based on the real world, publishing books, including this one, I came to an epiphany. Who you are in relation to someone else depends not on skin color, age, religion, sexual preference, language, biology, country or planet. These short stories contain individual lives of those you are familiar with in one social category or another as opposed to those of your neighbor, family member, significant partner, your enemies, and those unlikely youve never met. In the end, a world, a galaxy of prosperity comes with the efforts of all who are related because they are unrelated and thats exactly what this book is about. --Maestro Drake
