Coach the Child in Front of You
develop the person and develop the playerBy Simon MillingtonRecorded TrackLength3h 39m
About this audiobook
You said yes to coaching the team. Now what? Most coaching books hand you drills. This one hands you how to coach the child, not just the football — because you build better players by developing better people. Warm, plain-English, and built for the wet-Tuesday-night reality of grassroots football: connection before correction, fun before formations, the person before the player. Coach the person. The player comes with them.
Read by the author, in his own voice. Digitally narrated using a voice clone of Simon Millington.
