Description
Every grassroots coach stands in front of a group of children who are all different, and all watching. Coach the Child in Front of You is a warm, practical guide to coaching the person first and the player second, and letting the football take care of itself.
Drawing on more than thirty years on the grass, Simon Millington shows how to really know the children you coach, build a culture you live rather than laminate, and give every child a reason to come back next week. From reading the quiet one to handing parents a better job on the touchline, it is full of small, doable ideas you can use this Saturday.
Written for the volunteers and part-timers who shape how a child feels about themselves, not just how they play, it is the book Simon wishes someone had been handed when he started. And if you lead a team at work, you will find the same truths apply off the pitch too.
