Synopsis

Coaching isn’t something you do TO someone. Coaching is something you do WITH someone.
Great coaches don’t light fires UNDER people. They light fires INSIDE of them.
And great coaches aren’t BORN … they’re MADE!

Coach to Coach follows the story of Brian Knight, a young man experiencing the challenges both on and off the
field that come with coaching sports. He’s spent the last decade striving to land his dream job, only to realize he may
no longer have the skills or drive necessary to reach the top. After a devastating loss and deteriorating relationships with
his players and family, Brian’s life seems to be unravelling—until he encounters a mysterious old coach who seems to
have some important answers to his problems.

Whether you are a sports coach, teacher, parent, spouse, co-worker, manager or boss, the invaluable lessons
in Coach to Coach are designed to help you recognize your importance as a coach. Written in the style of a simple
parable, this engaging book gives you an easy-to-use yet highly effective formula for bringing out the best in yourself
and others.

Based on his two decades of coaching high school, college, and professional sports teams, Martin Rooney uses
his gift of storytelling to reveal the coaching mindset necessary to be the inspirational leader you’ve always dreamed
of becoming.

Packed with motivational stories, Coach to Coach is a heartwarming tale that will empower you to fulfill your one
true job as a coach: To take people where they want to go

Goodreads review by Andrew

I always find it difficult to take fictional stories that seriously and hold the lessons they try to teach at arms length. Like so many books of this nature, it's idealistic with the advice it gives and it's a bit transparent with it's narrative. But that being said, the advice is motivational and i......more

Goodreads review by Emily

This fictionalised story centred around an American football coach and his journey to becoming a better coach, husband, and father, so it didn’t really resonate with me. I skimmed the detailed sections describing the gameplay elements. That aside, there was some simple and practical advice on cultiv......more
