Very good guide

I think the author made some great points in this book. He spoke of planning for the season and practices. Then how to coach different sides of the ball. And how to approach game day. Great insight on how to connect with players and get the best from them.

WOOW!

This audio book is an absolute must-have for any new youth football coach. The author does an excellent job of providing practical advice on how to make good decisions, build a winning team, and develop young athletes. The narration is clear and engaging, making it easy to follow along and stay focused.

What sets this book apart is the author's deep understanding of youth sports and the unique challenges that come with coaching young athletes. He provides practical advice on how to communicate with the team, motivate players, and create a positive team culture that fosters growth and development.

I appreciated the emphasis on building character and instilling values such as hard work, teamwork, and sportsmanship in young athletes. The author also provides plenty of tips and drills for developing fundamental skills. Highly recommended if you are a coach or would like to become a coach some day.

Powerful!

This a great resource if you want a detailed plan for running your team! I love the section on emergency protocols and safety measures, which was lacking in other coaching books I have listened to. I also found the author's tone enjoyable and informative. It was a perfect balance. I will be listening to it again!

Very educational

Very educational and informative! I like how it broke down each positions and the how to’s.

Great football coaching book

This audiobook is a complete resource if you are a coach looking to build a strong youth football team. It systematically deals with the topic. It discusses the fundamentals of football, practice planning, common drills for offense, defense and special teams and how to coach them, how to prepare for the season and what to do at the end of the season, etc. The section I liked the most was the ten qualities of an elite youth. It was inspiring. Definitely recommend listening to it if you are a football coach trying to build a winning team.
