The
Heart of Coaching: Using Transformational Coaching to Create a High-Performance
Coaching Culture (3rd Edition)
by Thomas G. Crane
Paperback from F T A Press
Media Published: 2007-
ISBN: 0966087437
More and more leaders and their organizations are becoming convinced
in the business case for creating a "coaching culture". This book provides
the tools for leaders and teams to develop a common language and shared
protocol and a learning and development orientation towards people. These
critical dynamics support the entire culture becoming a "feedback-rich,
high-performance" organization.
For this to occur, a common coaching approach driven by coaching UP,
DOWN, and SIDEWAYS is necessary. Coaching flows in all directions to managers,
peers, and direct reports. Coaching becomes the normal "way we do things
around here."
The premise of "The Heart of Coaching" was never more true. "As coaching
becomes a predominant cultural practice...it will create a performance-focused,
feedback-rich organization capable of creating and sustaining a competitive
advantage."
This "Third Edition" (updated in 2010) makes the use of the enhanced
coaching model easier to use than ever, since it now includes a colorized
snapout reference card. Additionally, several powerful enhancements of
the Transformational Coaching methodology make it one of the most comprehensive,
and systematic approaches to coaching you will find today.
It guides leaders, managers, and entire teams who want to enhance or
master their coaching skills through 2 critical aspects of coaching: 1.
establishing authentic, healthy and respectful coaching relationships,
and 2. organizing and conducting the actual coaching conversations that
lead to commitments for positive results that both the coach and the coachee
are willing to support. |

Coaching - 3rd Edition
by Rainer Martens
Paperback from Human Kinetics
ISBN: 0736040129
Being a successful coach is not just about Xs and Os and winning games.
It's about coaching young people to become successful athletes--and successful
human beings. But unless you already have the teaching skills of an educator,
the training expertise of a physiologist, the administrative leadership
of a business executive, and the counseling wisdom of a psychologist, you
will rely on this third edition of Successful Coaching to discover
how to excel as a coach.

profession and is specifically written for the high school and serious
club coach. Integrating the latest sport science research with practical
knowledge acquired by highly experienced coaches, this book features new
sections on sportsmanship, coaching diverse athletes, managing athletes'
behavior, preventing and addressing drug and alcohol abuse, and coaching
using the games approach. Five sections serve as the foundation for the
book:
-
Principles of Coaching emphasizes the value of a coaching philosophy and
how to achieve the three major objectives of coaching: create a team of
winners; help young people have fun; and motivate young people to develop
physical, psychological, and social skills. Featured is a new chapter devoted
to coaching diverse athletes, in which coaches learn about developmental
differences in youth, cultural and gender differences, and differences
in physical and mental abilities. Also new are specific guidelines on sexual
harassment, sexual relations, and homosexuality in sport, making Successful
Coaching the first book to offer written guidelines that address these
issues.
-
Principles of Behavior discusses how to communicate and motivate players,
as well as manage problem behaviors among athletes, using a positive discipline
approach.
-

how to incorporate this new approach into teaching technical and tactical
skills. Coaches will learn how to develop an instructional plan for each
practice and for the entire season.
-
Principles of Physical Training includes five new chapters on training
basics, training for energy fitness, training for muscular fitness, nutrition,
and battling drugs. Coaches will learn to develop training programs for
better sport performance and to ensure the health and safety of their athletes.
-
Principles of Management covers the interpersonal and administrative basics
required for building a solid coaching foundation that emphasizes team,
relationship, and risk management. Helpful advice on working with fellow
coaches, administrators, officials, medical personnel, parents, and the
media is also included.
With more than 500,000 copies sold since the release of the first edition,
Successful
Coaching is the best-selling general coaching book ever published.
Produced by the American Sport Education Program (ASEP) and written by
ASEP founder Rainer Martens, Successful Coaching serves as the text
for ASEP's Coaching Principles course. This course is used by many colleges
and universities and endorsed by numerous state high school associations
and other sport organizations as the preferred professional development
program for their coaches. Each year, more than 25,000 coaches take this
