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. Sometime there isn't any science applied at all.
While there are thousands of books and websites a coach can consult to better understand technical and tactical aspects of the game, there is nothing for a coach to consult that explicitly examines the teaching problems on the field, the court, the rink, and the diamond. Until now.
Intended to offer lessons and guidance that are applicable to coaches of any sporting endeavor including everyone from parent volunteers to professional coaches and private trainers, Lemov brings the powerful science of learning to the arena of sports coaching to create the next generation of championship caliber coaches.
The Coach's Guide to Teaching Reviews
-
Regardless of what sport you coach, this is a must read. If you enjoy learning theory, or if you just want to get better at helping your athletes get better, Lemov provides practical insight on how to sharpen your behavior to create a powerful learning environment.
As a soccer coach, this book is clear and direct in its examples, since many of them come from my sport of choice, but the application is accessible and relatable across disciplines.
It’s not a fast read. I always labor more with books that have fewer and longer chapters, but I took more notes on chapters 1 and 2 than I did in my last 10 coaching books combined.
5 stars -
Simply a phenomenal book. It covers everything that coach education books miss, and ties together so much of what can help develop wonderful, teaching coaches. Please buy this book now.
Highly recommended to listen to Dan Abraham’s Sports Psychology podcast interview with Doug, it helps prime your brain for what you encounter in the book. Simply fantastic. -

It's an essential read, one of the most remarkable books I've read in some time. It should be part of every coach's library, and I imagine I'll reference it again and again.
