Book Description:
Athletic coaches are asked to wear more and more hats with each passing
season, and in many cases, they are not receiving the support or training
necessary to help them succeed in their ever-expanding roles. Drawing on
over a decade spent as a college basketball coach and original research
conducted on what leadership styles and behaviors help athletic coaches be
successful, Lead Like a Pro provides coaches with the resources to transform
their leadership practice and reach their full potential.
Whether you are a volunteer coaching your child’s team, a
part-time high school coach who’s also a teacher, or a full-time college or
professional coach, this book will teach you new ways to enhance your
leadership style and become a better coach for your athletes and team. All
coaches should be constantly working on improving their leadership
abilities, but not all coaches have the time or opportunity to attend
leadership conferences, training sessions, or classes. Lead Like a Pro
provides insight into different leadership techniques, and teaches coaches
how to evaluate their current practices so they can develop a strong
leadership style that fits their personal values and beliefs.
Meet the Author:
After obtaining his Bachelor of Arts in history and classical studies
from Indiana University, Dr. Matthew Raidbard decided to pursue his dream
of being a college basketball coach. His first college basketball coaching
job was at Western New Mexico University, where he also completed his
Master of Arts degree in Educational Leadership. In 2018, Dr.
Raidbardconducted a study on how college basketball coaches perceived
themselves as leaders, finding that many coaches were unsuccessful because
they lacked the necessary tools and training to be effective leaders. His
findings inspired him to write this book and dedicate himself to helping
coaches at all levels improve their leadership abilities so that they can
be the best and most effective leaders for the athletes they are entrusted
to coach.
