Successful Coaching
Behind the clipboard and the whistle, a successful coach is constantly adaptingâ€”becoming mentor, manager, motivator, or master teacherâ€”as the need arises. More than just knowing their sports, successful coaches have mastered their varied roles by gaining the skills and knowledge to fulfill those roles.

Rainer Martens, a respected sport psychologist and longtime coach, offers the latest information in the sport sciences, proven methods for teaching technical and tactical skills, and essentials of sport management. Youâ€™ll find information on physical training and sport nutrition with special emphasis on topics of concern, including hydration, nutritional supplements, and drug abuse.
