4.0 out of 5 stars Coaching our son's, November 15, 2007

This review is from: Coaching Our Sons (Paperback)

Chuck Tank has written a wonderful book about coaching and how the coaches handled coaching their own son's. Though the coaches are from the state of Wisconsin, the book can be used by any coach anywhere in the United States and abroad. The book brings the good and the bad of the father-son relationship and not only could help coaches now coaching their son's, but also coaches that have coached their son's and find out that they weren't the only ones that had problems or had success. This book can help young people getting into coaching also and though it is basketball coaches that are interviewed, it can be used in any coaching sport.
