IT TAKES A VILLAGE...

It takes a village to coach youth sports. If you're the head coach, your role is village chief.

Coach Steve Cleland has coached youth sports teams for three decades, winning a few trophies and accolades along the way.

He covers winning on and off the field, showing you what it takes to make a difference in each team member's life. His guidance is tried-and-true, and he has helped dozens of teams of all ages across North America.

Whether you coach five-year-olds on a neighborhood soccer team, an All-Star team of ten-year-olds, or sixteen-year-olds on a travel team, this book has everything you need to become the chief your village needs.
