The Coach’s Guide to Teaching

About this book

The mark of a great coach is a constant desire to learn and grow, a hunger to use whatever can make them better. The best-selling author of Teach Like a Champion and Reading Reconsidered brings his considerable knowledge about the science of classroom teaching to the sports coaching world to create championship-caliber coaches on the court and field. What great classroom teachers do is relevant to coaches in profound ways; after all, coaches are at their core teachers. Lemov knows that coaches face many of the same challenges found in the classroom, so the science of learning applies equally to them. Unfortunately, coaches and organizations have a mixed level of understanding of the research and study of the science of learning. Sometimes coaches and organizations build their teaching on myths and platitudes more than science, and sometimes there isn't any science applied at all.
