The Coach's Administrative Handbook provides a game plan that can help coaches successfully handle the myriad management and administrative details they will encounter before, during, and after the season. Topics covered include: specific coaching issues and concerns (motivation, organization, motivation), high-priority program issues (coaching philosophy, communicating with parents, players, other coaches), preseason program issues (rules, policies, behavior, legal concerns), in-season issues (expectations, goal setting, sportsmanship, responsibilities and assessment), coaching administration issues (promotion, recruiting, public relations, athletic discipline code, single- vs. multi-sport athletes), and the political and family issues associated with coaching-both of the athlete and the coach. Ideal for coaches of any sport with players at any age and skill level.
