Although this is a perfect book for all coaches in all sports, providing specific, practical material that can be used with an entire team to raise their level of strategy, leadership and winning, it can also be used to benefit individual athlete's performance, taking themselves to the next level.
Martial artists, great warriors, coaches, generals, and successful corporate CEOs effectively use the strategies for winning found in Sun Tzu's Art of War. Author Jerry Lynch, using lessons from The Art of War, as well as other ancient Taoist books such as the I Ching and Tao Te Ching, teaches readers to develop the capacities and qualities that make a champion - such as high self-esteem, courage, fortitude, determination, perseverance, tenacity, self-awareness, integrity, the ability to take risks, and the ability to learn from failure. The emphasis on self-awareness, tactical positioning, and strategic advantage means that practitioners win through inner growth and self-improvement - giving them a universal competitive edge.

Times have changed in the coaching profession. In today's world of sport, players must deal with complex issues. Not only must you teach athletes the skills, strategies and discipline to help them succeed, you also are expected to guide, encourage, respect, and inspire athletes.
Creative Coaching is a strategic handbook for addressing the challenges of coaching modern athletes and maximizing their sport performance.
What sets author Jerry Lynch's coaching method apart is his unique collective approach. You will learn to teach, guide, and motivate in a reciprocal relationship with athletes. Respect and authority are earned not through a title or through disciplinary measures but through a clear vision and effective communication that prompts athletes to exert maximum effort toward their goals and develop their own decision-making skills - all of which have a direct performance payoff.
Throughout the book, you'll be challenged with real scenarios in which you must try to solve problems and new strategies that have proven to be effective with today's athletes.
Creative Coaching is more than a "how to win" manual. The innovative techniques apply to a wide variety of coaching situations and will help you and our athletes experience all the fun and passion of sport - at the same time, you'll perform your best.
