Coaching Youth Books

This new book by Christopher Anderson and Barbara Anderson provides you with the tools to develop the most overlooked aspect of youth sports: emotional training. In clear language and with numerous examples from the author's work with young athletes, the book explains where parents and coaches often go wrong in relating to kids. It reveals the underlying causes of negative behavior toward children and offers guidance on recognizing and changing such behavior. The book even answers parents’ most-asked questions, such as how to react when your child loses, how to decide if a sport is too demanding and how to avoid putting too much pressure on your child.
