Get More: - by Joby Slay (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

One of the largest challenges facing youth sports today is the lack of sufficiently trained athletic coaches. Stats show that less than 1/3 of coaches are trained in general safety and injury prevention, less than 30% are trained in CPR and basic first aid, and under 1/3 are trained in sports skills, tactics and motivational techniques.In his new book Get More, award winning coach Joby Slay lays out the groundwork for equipping coaches in the fundamentals of their craft. "The difficulty in our society in training effective motivational techniques," says Slay, "is the complexity of the current motivational processes or educational platforms. They require a significant investment of time, energy, and money that the average youth coach just can't spare." Slay has put together a formula in Get More that is simple to teach and easy to apply to a winning motivational coaching style. The book organizes these winning principles so that coaches can apply his simple formula with any team.With his effective motivational formula, a player's talents and potential are empowered with new self-confidence to take initiative, to do more, be more and fuel their creativity, imagination, and passion, creating greater momentum and motivation.Whether a new coach or a 30-year veteran, the Get More formula will help every coach to improve their acumen resulting in their team achieving breakthrough performance results.

Review Quotes

'Coach Joby Slay's book unpacks the philosophy and practical applications of how to become a leader that gets more out of themselves and the people they are responsible to influence. I've studied the science of coaching for 20 years at the highest levels and have watched Coach Slay implement his Get MORE ideas for multiple seasons and the results speak for themselves. His teams steadily improve and have a fulfilling experience filled with lessons they will take with them beyond athletics. I'd recommend this books to any leader in any context but especially sport coaches.'
