If you have kids and are considering getting them involved in sports, I highly recommend the book. In it, Joe shows how most kids’ experience in sports is actually detrimental to the development of their character, not positive (think about the outcome obsessed parents or the just the commercials when you are watching sports these days). Instead of taking a Transactional (you deliver us wins, we give you praise) approach to coaching, Joe and his coaches take a... View Article
