Coaching Lacrosse - Travis Taylor - Bog

A primer on different approaches to coaching lacrosse with a particular focus on player- or athlete-centred coaching. Taylor guides readers through techniques like technical and self-reflection; behavioural, cognitive, and constructivist coaching approaches; strength and conditioning routines; developing coaching philosophies; and more. At the core of the text is a push to move away from authoritative coaching to a more communicative, self-reflective coaching that connects with athletes and thinks about their short-and long-term goals. The use of demonstrative characters, like "Bob," who represents traditional approaches to coaching, and storytelling to demonstrate the text's concepts is a central part of Taylor's approach.
