Written specifically for coaches, this groundbreaking book details dozens of proven strategies for building a championship team in any sport at any level. The book reveals the 7 C's that all Championship Teams have in common and provides practical exercises to help you build the characteristics in your team. If your team is looking to build a winning team chemistry, this is the book for you!
This book helps a coach develop a mindset necessary to build a team out of any group of individuals. While there are some actual activities suggested, some of which look to have more potential than others, Janssen's contribution is to get coaches thinking about coaching in the right way, from a process-driven, unifying mindset, rather than a results-driven, authoritarian mindset. Regardless o where you fall on that spectrum, there is something in here that will help you develop as a coach.
Some great ideas for coaches (and actually, a lot can be applied to anyone in a leadership position). I plan on using some of the suggestions with the team for the rest of the swim season and certainly to set a solid foundation in future years.
Team building is more of an art than science and this book provides a good recipe for success. Useful in all team building opportunities not just SPORTS!!!
