Brain Training for Athletes

$24.99

A Guide to Teaching Focus, Leadership and a Winning Attitude

If you’re looking for insights beyond X’s and O’s on how to be a better coach, Stephanie Schleuder’s “Brain Training for Athletes” is a must read.

– How do you teach captains to be better leaders?
– What do you do if a player is dogging it in practice?
– What are good strategies for building team chemistry?
– How do you deal with chronic complainers?
– How do you raise the collective energy of your team?

Schleuder deals with all of this and a lot more, and she offers specific solutions – worksheets, even – based on her many years of collegiate coaching experience. Winning games, as Schleuder points out, is not just about having a good game plan and good players. It’s also about knowing which buttons to push to bring out the best in your athletes and how to integrate them into a single unit that will function at the height of its potential.

Note: This is the same book as Stephanie Schleuder's Brain Training for Volleyball, except that all of the volleyball-specific references have been replaced with generic sport references so that the book applies to other female sports – softball, soccer, basketball, etc. All of the chapters and information are the same. This book is meant for coaches who want to be able to share the book with other coaches at their school/organization who coach sports other than volleyball.

Description

About the Author: Seven hundred college wins is reason enough to listen to what Stephanie Schleuder has to say about training the mind for women's sports, but her credentials run deeper. In a career in which she served as head volleyball coach at the University of Minnesota, University of Alabama and Macalester College and was also president of the American Volleyball Coaches Association, Schleuder never just accepted that the way to do something is the way you’ve always done it. She tweaked and refined and reshaped her philosophy so she could grow as a coach while her athletes grew as players and people.

In “Brain Training for Athletes,” Schleuder shares methods that have consistently worked for her in practice after practice, match after match, season after season. She covers teaching leadership, building trust, defeating distractions, encouraging a higher level of focus, coaching captains and much more. It’s a great read, and it’s also a valuable resource for coaches seeking ways to be better prepared for the upcoming season than they were for the previous season.
