Senior Sports Psychologist at the U.S.O.C., Sean McCann, PhD. recently said in a seminar on Mental Imagery that good coaches are life long learners. We here at the Arizona Region want to help create better coaches AND life long learners but do it in a way that helps fit your busy life and schedule.
So here are a few resources for you, as a new coach, to gather and learn from:
The Little Book of Talent by Daniel Coyle. At a scant 122 pages, this little book delivers huge advice and ideas toward coaching in general. It's 52 tips are applicable to just about any level of coaching.
Also, check out Coyle's blog, The Talent Code which the idea of THIS blog is partly based! Again, rich in content for coaches entering their first week or 15th year on the sidelines but easily read in a few sips of your morning latte.
The Grow the Game news letter is in just its second issue but it is full of useful information and links and easily digested in just a few minutes.
The FIVB, the world's volleyball oversight organization had posted technical videos from the London Olympics. Check them out here and watch how the best players in the world perform skills, drills and even practice. Most of the clips are less than a minute long.
Finally on the U.S.A.V. website, under the Grassroots link, a page just for you: I am a New Coach features articles and resources for you to use in growing your knowledge philosophy and teaching skills.
We realize how busy and time critical your days have become so use these quick and easy resources to help you achieve your coaching goals.
As always, if the Arizona Region can be of help, don't hesitate to contact us.
