Review
"Any book that uses movie and book characters in coaching analogies gets my vote for a must read. Read it and enjoy it." -- Warren K. Simpson, Hardin Simmons University
"Positive Coaching has some wonderful words of wisdom to parents and coaches. It fused a lot of my thoughts about coaching and about being a parent of young athletes. I recommend it wholeheartedly for all coaches. In the book, Jim Thompson states that his positive coaching tactics may not work on a professional level. Being a believer in motivation through sport and praise, I know it works on this level too." -- Phil Jackson, Head Coach, Chicago Bulls, World Champions 1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997
