DAY 82 - RECOMMENDED READING – COACH TO COACH

I hope you’re following along as we countdown the final 100 days of 2022 - you can join us anytime. Learn more about the program HERE.

Today I wanted to share a book with you.  It is a terrific book that just speaks to the heart of coaching people.  In many ways, we’re all coaches.  Whether you’re raising kids, a teacher, or a manager; you’re a coach.

Told as a parable, Coach to Coach walks the path of a young athletic coach (Brian Knight) who finally wins his dream job only to find himself faced with the fear he may not be able to keep it.  While he might have had some achievements before, his coaching skills are not at the level he now needs to be successful.  It’s only when he allows himself to be open to coaching from a much older and wiser coach, he realizes he has so much to learn.  

This book is loaded with poignant and powerful quotes which tie directly into its teachings.  Whether you follow sports or not, the athletic backdrop is perfect for how to challenge, encourage and support someone you are coaching or mentoring in any environment.  It’s not to be missed!

Read the book!  It’s a really fast read and I know you’ll take away so many wonderful approaches to coaching the people around you.
