Book Description

0964873818 978-0964873810 December 1995
Books that deliver sound advice and encouragement to high school coaches--and written by qualified and experienced people-are rare or nonexistent. Here's one.

We all want to win, and COACHING 101--featuring a foreword by NFL Hall of Famer Otto Graham--shows how. But this "Bible of Basics" is also designed to help cultivate a more positive learning atmosphere and to enrich staff rapport. It will help all coaches become better at what they do.

Coaching has always been hard work. Today, it's staggering. Where can young coaches turn for practical and proven guidelines to build solid programs, mold crucial relationships, and do things "the right way?"

Where can experienced coaches turn for reinforcement of their beliefs about "how it should be done" in high school sports?

College textbooks and methods courses lack practical instruction on how to lead high-schoolers through positive athletic experiences.

One good new idea is worth far more than the price of a book.

About the Author

Don Schnake graduated from Centralia (Illinois) High School in 1946. He received his BS from Bradley University and an MS from Northern Illinois.

He taught and coached at Illinois high schools in Charleston, Aledo, Vandalia, and Elk Grove Village. In addition to serving as athletic director, his career included head coaching responsibilities in baseball, basketball, cross-country, football and track. Football writers selected his 1972 Elk Grove football team as the Illinois mythical state champions.

During the 1960's, he contributed a regular column to the Chicago Daily News as a member of the newspaper's All-State Basketball Board.

In 1987, after 35 years as an educator, Schnake retired and was inducted into the Illinois Football Coaches Hall of Fame.

In 1992, he authored the award-winning biography TROUT: The Old Man and the Orphans. His latest, FOOTBALL'S SIMPLE SIX was published in May, 2000.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Systematic, But Quite Helpful, February 9, 2008
By 
Kris (Gaithersburg, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Coaching 101: Guiding the High School Athlete & Building Team Success (Paperback)
Because of the title, I was expecting a more methodical treatment of coaching: job descriptions, basic expectations, evaluations, etc. But what it lacked in organization, the author made up for in his "homespun" wisdom. He obviously has a lot of insights into coaching from years of experience. Using broad brush strokes about strategy, motivation, relationships, and philosophy, I think the author captures the heart of coaching. Excellent book for coaches with various years of experience. I would've rated the book five stars if he was more methodical.
