John Wooden
From insight on how to create a compelling and positive learning environment to the benefits of making your athletes feel invaluable, even if they are not the most valuable to establishing your team’s DNA … Every Moment Matters: How the World’s Best Coaches Inspire Their Athletes and Build Championship Teams is the best gift for a coach or anyone who loves the beautiful game.
“Just Because You’re a Good Parent Doesn’t Mean You’re Going to Be a Good Coach/Parent” and “Keeping It FairWhen Coaching Your Own Child” are two must-read lessons.
O’Sullivan makes it simple. His players tell him he inspires them to do their best, even when he is not around.
EVERY MOMENT MATTERS.
This is just a truth we all need to realize.
One of the best features of O’Sullivan’s new book is its easy reading. It is a page-turner.
Without any condescension, O’Sullivan dives into the deep end of what truly makes a difference and the benefits of being an Athlete-Centered Coach. Believing a goal of this book is to help keep kids in the game and coming back every season, Every Moment Matters’ purpose is to “help people get a better understanding of who that child is in front of you and what she needs from you to ensure she returns to sport the next season.”
IF COACHES COULD ACCOMPLISH THIS, MANY MORE PLAYERS WOULD STAY IN THE GAME. EVERYTHING WOULD CHANGE.
An internationally known TEDx Speaker, O’Sullivan has consulted for the United States Olympic Committee, U.S. Soccer, USA Football, US Lacrosse, USA Swimming, Ireland Rugby, Aussie Rules Football and authored two #1 bestselling books.
