Take Your TEAM to the NEXT Level...

Coaching seems easy. You gather gear, bring athletes together and then watch the successes roll in. Unfortunately, that's not the reality of coaching sports today.

There's a simple truth about coaching sports – you work with people. And there are certain steps you need to take. Sure, you can "hold a practice," but that alone does not build your team. There are other things you must do.

The coaches who succeed understand the balance between technical knowledge and working with people. Moreover, they know how to build a team of their dreams, the kind of team that exceeds expectations.

The good news is simple actions can help you find success. Some coaches never find a team of their dreams, but the simple actions in Build Your Team will greatly improve YOUR chances of success.

A Coaching Hack

Welcome.

You have a problem.

Something is not right with your team. Or you’re trying build a team from scratch or resurrect it from disaster.

It’s not easy, what you are trying to do.

Taking a group of people and bringing them together to achieve a common purpose is one of the most challenging parts of coaching sports.

In this book are actions you can (and should) take.

They are based on my own experiences, advice from wise coaches within a multitude of sports from Olympic to youth, and from stellar resources like Jeff Janssen and Chris Brogan.

I can’t guarantee these actions will work for you as you try to build your team, but they have worked for many coaches and teams — including my own.

The truth is (my version), this book is about helping you find:

>> inner peace

>> longevity

>> development

>> happiness

>> success

as you coach. Those things don’t happen often enough in coaching, but they should.

You’re a busy person, with a problem to solve.

Let’s get to it ...

Introduction

I sat on the curb, head in hands. I had just resigned from the job I loved.

I was exhausted. Getting out of bed was climbing Mt. Everest. Those last two years of coaching were like going to the dentist every day. I tried to replicate the success we had had years before, but the harder I worked, the more the team and I struggled. It was time to leave.

Years later it became clear what went wrong. I paid the price because I was not coaching the team of my dreams. I was reactive-coaching, not proactive-coaching. And because I reacted to the daily dramas and hassles without having a vision of the team I wanted, I was struggling. So was the team. I finally realized that having a highly functioning team, a team that I nicknamed Dream Team, makes all the difference.

I believe it is important that you, as a coach, know
