A Realistic Perspective

Produktbeschreibung

This book details the duties and tasks of a coach and also explores the often-overlooked responsibilities that go hand-in-hand with coaching: relationships among players; ethical and moral issues; off-season housekeeping; and concerns particular to head and assistant coaches. This new edition includes updated material on the impact of social media and the issue of hazing at all levels of athletics. Each chapter also features discussion questions to help inspire debate over common coaching issues.
