More than detailing the duties and tasks of a coach, this book explores the often-overlooked issues and responsibilities that go hand-in-hand with coaching: relationships among players, parents, and fans; ethical and moral issues and controversies; off-season housekeeping duties; and concerns particular to head and assistant coaches as well as single and married coaches. Similar to its previous edition, the eleventh edition includes end-of-chapter discussion questions to help inspire debate over common coaching issues. This edition has been updated to reflect the impact of social media on the coaching profession, including how it can be used in good, positive ways and how it can be detrimental to coaches and athletes if not used properly. It also features updated material on the issue of hazing, a huge concern today in all levels of athletics.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Coaching: A Realistic Perspective is a comprehensive resource for those interested in beginning their studies of or a career in the coaching profession. Although the book does not focus on the pedagogical approaches to coaching (the authors do state that this is not their intention), it systematically details a coach's managerial and social responsibilities. The book examines a wide array of topics, such as maintaining various relationships (among players, parents, other coaches, fans, etc.), 'qualities' that a coach should always uphold, the innumerable controversies and ethical issues a coach may face, off-season organization, etc. In addition, this 11th edition contains updated information related to social media practices and issues related to hazing in sports. In each chapter, appropriate exercises and discussion questions enhance the reading experience. The appendixes provide the reader with additional resources that can assist with commencing a successful coaching career. Overall, this book is a helpful tool for beginning coaches and a valuable resource for students taking a course that is focused on management skills in the coaching profession.
