How Well Do You Communicate?

"How Well Do You Communicate? will be a valuable addition to our coaching library and I'm sure be of great inspiration to our parent/coach volunteers."

"I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to read the book. I think it is a tool that all coaches can use regardless of sport. I particularly enjoyed the comments in Chapter Five: Communicating and Interacting with Parents. It was an easy read and so simply laid out."

- Jim Cannovan
Technical Director, Ontario Soccer Association

"Five of our members have read your books for youth coaches, including How Well Do You Communicate?, and found them to be a great resource. They are good for our coaches as they are straight to the point and provide usable information they can apply immediately in their practices and games. Thank you very much for providing them to us. Thanks again!”

- Coaches Association of British Columbia

"I found the Chapters on dealing with Parents very helpful."

- Jeff Tipping
NSCAA Director of Coaching

"I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Communication is a topic seldom discussed and taught in our coaching programs. The messages are simple, clear and very valuable. I think communication is one of the keys to developing relationships with the kids we are coaching and Michael clearly lays out some of the important aspects of communication. All coaches should make the time to read this book"

"I think any parent new to the world of minor sports would benefit tremendously from this book. The author convincingly argues that communication skills are key to optimizing your young person's experience on a team, yet stresses how these skills are usually taken for granted or ignored. The solid practical advice based on personal experience helps parents understand their role. It is also a compelling call to coaches and parents to remember the overall purpose and value of sports in a day when the growing pressures of competition can cause us to lose that perspective."
