Synopsis

This book was written for the serious coach who wants to take his or her team's performance to the next level. In an easy-to-read style, the text examines recent research and offers practical guidelines to help coaches get the most from their athletes. Some of the issues explored include developing the coach/athlete relationship, improving team cohesion, controlling arousal and anxiety, implementing attention control training, and preventing staleness and burnout.
