In order to develop the best soccer players, who can achieve their
very best in the game, a coach needs to instill three central qualities:
Trust, Loyalty, and Respect. Without them, your words have no meaning
and lack the power to inspire your players to reach new heights; with
them, your team gains the ability and motivation to over-achieve.
Coach DeAngelo Wiser is a soccer coach with more than 20 years'
experience of working with high school players, during which time he has
gathered District and Regional Titles, and Coach of the Year honors. In
Winning Your Players, he offers accumulated wisdom, insight, and
solutions garnered from years of developing players and working with
them in competitive environments at key moments. His methods of building
Trust, Loyalty, and Respect, give every coach the ability to have a
positive impact in practice, the game, and - more importantly - in life.
Knowing the best way to navigate and deal with challenges is the key to
relating to your players. Wiser's emphasis on the role of decision
making through consistency, character, and integrity are what makes this
book essential in every coach's career.
Chapters include:
> Do You Trust Your Players?
> Eight Moments a Coach's Impact will never be Greater
> Can you handle the Truth?
> Over-coaching... can you hear it?
> ...and more
Winning Your Players offers a clear pathway for coaches who want to
develop and nurture talent to the best of their abilities, and gives
insight into situations that require strong leadership at key moments
with your team. In those moments we need every resource possible to
clearly do what's best for our team. Winning Your Players is a must
during those times.
