This is a great book for coaches, as it is filled with strong quotes to be used for teaching and motivating players.

This is a much better book than it appears on the surface.
Not only are the quotations not just sport related (but are relevant to sports) but can be uplifting in general use. Most I had never come across before and I have about ten or so books of quotations (I sometimes write speeches) and there are very few quotations in this book that are either banal, vague or too specific for general use. It is not perfect of course, but as good as you can get for the genre. For an American book, it does concentrate on American quotations, but the quality is so good, it doesn't matter.
The quotations are grouped into logical chapters and a chapter right at the end for the miscellaneous including the funnies.
I expected a lot of Vince Lombardi quotes amongst basketball and baseball coaches etc but the author has spent time to distill the best examples from all sources so we get a concentrated delivery of the best motivational quotations available.
Recommended.

I use motivational quotes in my coaching all of the time! This book is an excellent resource.

Great quotes that you can use for teaching or coaching without having to search the web looking for that perfect saying.
