Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good beginning tool.Well written. Easy to understand. Good remainder for coaches who forget who they are coaching for and why they are coaching youth football. Good reading for any coach just starting or who have just a couple of years under their belt Rating:  - Slow start, but builds speedFor a coach, the first 3 chapters were not needed. The rest of the book provided great insight and help with the game. Rating: - Very Helpfull for the BeginnerThis is my first year coaching and I found my knowledge of the game,and conditioning and prep drills lacking. This book may be too simple for those that have played the game a lot and are more than arm-chair quarterbacks. I found the breakdown of practice sessions helpful because they stressed the different areas of the game but kept the pace moving to help keep the kids from getting bored. This does not contain a playbook and if you are looking for this you might be disappointed. Rating: - Mostly Explains Football, Not How To CoachThis is an okay book, but the first half of this already thin ( about 120 pages 10"x7") book is just about something most guys who watch or have played football will already know. How wide is the field? How long is it? What's an even versus an odd defense? And so on. The second half is very dilute, which is the real meat of coaching football. If you are an absolute novice, then buy this book. If you can get it free somewhere or very inexpensive, then it's worth a quick glance, ... Read More Rating: - Best book for Rookie Coaches. Very useful for veterans.I've been coaching now for a couple of seasons and ran across this book. I decided to buy it, and a few others to add to my library. I feel like as a coach you can never learn too much, and this one seemed interesting. I bought 4 books that day, but read this one first. I should have read it last because it made the other 3 look and sound retarded. Worst yet, it made me look stupid for buying them. The information provided in this book was absolutely great and very instructive. ... Read More |
