| Customer Rating: | I would love to offer a review of this book. However, as I have tried to tell Amazon, and the book seller, I have not even received my book yet. I am extremely upset and worried that I will not have time to pass my college class. I needed this class to move over on the pay scale, yet I can not even get a book I ordered a month ago. PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Absolutely Fantastic Book
| Customer Rating: | Pros:
- lots of topics
- chapters are well-categorized and information within them make sense
- good for any sport (though it does have somewhat of a basketball lean)
- lots of good info-graphics, tables, checklists, pictures, etc so you are not just reading listlessly
- good information for all levels of coaching
- the list goes on and on - this is quite possibly the best book I have bought from Amazon so far
Cons:
- Big (over 500 pages)
- Would like to see more info in the "practice as games (paraphrase)" section
- Some information in the supplement breakdown is contrary to the information I am familiar with
** Added Bonus **
Apparently this book is also the curriculum for a college course, so whether you are just thinking about buying it and want more information, or you already own it and want a "quick reference" there is a very good support site here:

I have read several books on coaching, and this is by far, the most comprehensive. It is easy to read and quite informative. Covers areas including self-assessment, tactical and technical coaching, practices, psychology, communication (with players, officials, even assistant coaches!), staff management, and even record keeping! |
Good Book for Beginner Coaches
| Customer Rating: | | This book is a good book for those coaches that are just starting out and are trying to define their philosophy, learn how to deal with parents, and figure out how to deal with some typical situations that arise during the season with players. If you are looking for more detail and advanced points, this is not the book for you. |
The Premier Coaching Text
| Customer Rating: | This book is THE book for anyone aspiring to coach. If you have the desire to coach but lack the knowledge, buy this book now! It can be a bit dry at times, but so can coaching. The bottom line is that it teaches a lot of things and teaches them well.
One minor quibble is the book's hasty dismissal of command-style coaching. I think Martens is a little harsh in that regard. But, that's a nit-pick. The book is outstanding. |
This book is a MUST for all aspiring coaches.
| Customer Rating: | | When you coach any particular sport, are you fearful of sending improper messages to your players? Do you feel that your players respect you as a coach? Can you say the right thing to your players to help motivate them to achieve success in the sport they play? Do you need a book to explain how to do all of the above? If so, this is the book to get. |
