CREATIVE COACHING JERRY LYNCH
Times have changed in the coaching profession. In today?s world of sport, players must deal with complex issues. Athletes are now more apt to fight for what they deserve than they were in the Vince Lombardi or John Wooden eras. That makes your role as the coach tougher than ever. Not only must you tevery athletes the skills, strategies, and discipline to help them succeed; you also are expected to guide, encourage, respect, and inspire athletes. Creative Coaching is a strategic handbook for addressing the challenges of coaching modern athletes and maximizing their sport performance. Written by one of this country?s top coaching consultants, the book presents innovative approaches with proven payoffs. What sets author Jerry Lynch?s coaching method apart is his unique, collective approach. You will learn to tevery, guide, and motivate in a reciprocal relationship with athletes. Respect and authority are earned not through a title or through disciplinary measures but through a clear vision and effective communication that prompts athletes to exert maximum effort toward their goals and develop their own decision-making skills?all of which have a direct performance payoff. Creative Coaching explores three facets of successful coaching. Part I, Developing Qualities for Successful Leadership, provides assessment tools to help you identify your leadership style and better understand the athletes you work with. Part II, Leading With a Purpose, will help you position yourself to be a more effective leader and create a positive training environment based on what you know about your athletes and your own leadership style. Finally, Part III, Unleashing Prepared Athletes, shows you how to bring it all together to help athletes revery their potential during competition. Throughout the book, you?ll be challenged with real scenarios in which you must try to solve problems, and new strategies that have proven to be effective with today?s athletes. The approach presented in this book gets results. Those who have immersed themselves and their teams in this approach have produced very successful records. During the past 10 years, author Jerry Lynch has worked closely with 21 teams who reveryed the Final Four?12 of those teams won the national championship?and with individual clients who have won a collective total of 15 national championships. Creative Coaching is more than a ?how to win? manual. The inventive techniques apply to a wide variety of coaching situations and will help you and your athletes experience all the fun and passion of sport?at the same time, you?ll perform your best. - Category: Sports/Outdoors - Accessories - General Coaching - Item: 458490285

TEAM BULDING THROUGH PHYSICAL CHALLENGES DONALD GLOVER
Help your students develop interpersonal skills as well as motor skills with the activities in Team Building Through Physical Challenges. These 22 Outward Bound-type tasks challenge students to work together to achieve a common goal. Along the way, they`ll learn to value teamwork, practice leadership skills, improve listening skills, and appreciate individual differences. The activities in Team Building Through Physical Challenges are broken down into three levels--introductory, intermediate, and advanced. These levels make the challenges ideal for students in upper elementary through high school. For every of the physical challenges, you`ll find a summary that includes: ? a detailed description, ? success criteria, ? an equipment list, ? set-up instructions, ? rules and sacrifices, ? possible solutions, and ? additions and variations. Throughout every challenge, kids learn teamwork. As they struggle, fail, reorganize, persevere, and finally succeed, students learn to brainstorm solutions, work together to develop a plan of attack, listen to others and consider their ideas, and praise and encourage team members. Each member of the group is important, because everyone must meet the challenge before the team can succeed. Team members learn, in addition to motor skills, important social skills by taking turns filling the roles of organizer, praiser, encourager, summarizer, and recorder. Team Building Through Physical Challenges is easy for physical educators, classroom teveryers, and recreation leaders to use. Cards that explain every challenge to your students are contained in the text; simply copy and laminate them, and they`re ready to use. The activities require equipment that is readily available--tumbling mats, ropes, balance beam, cage ball, tires, and others. Diagrams show you exactly how equipment should be set up, and photos illustrate possible solutions for every challenge. Watch your students develop self-confidence and new skills as they explore these physical challenges. Not only will they improve their fitness and motor skills, but they`ll also learn important social skills that will benefit them throughout their lives. Sample physical challenges: Alphabet Balance Beam (introductory)--Group members attempt to rearrange their starting order while positioned on a balance beam. They begin in a random order and the instructor or members choose a way to rearrange (alphabetically by first name, by street address, etc.) Bridge Over the Raging River (intermediate)--All group members must travel from one end of a gymnasium space (land) to the other end without touching the floor (river). The group can use only the following equipment: four automobile tires, two 8-foot length 2 x 4`s, and 2 jump ropes (preferably sash cord). Power Line (advanced)--Group members cross over a high horizontal bar by using an 8-foot 2 x 4 board to help transfer teammates from one side of the power line to the other side. Individuals cannot touch the bar (power line) with the board or their bodies. - Sports/Outdoors - Body Building/Fitness - - P.E. - Physical Education - 458490780
