Successfully Coaching Today’s Athletes (DVD)
This DVD was created for anyone who is involved with teaching, coaching, or working with today’s newest of generations. Examples cited in this DVD primarily cover sport and educational applications.
I believe that before coaches can truly get the most from their athletes and teams and parlay that into wins on the court or field, they must know all they can about them as people first, then as performers. But before a coach can begin their quest of developing rapport and relationships with their players, they must first know who they are dealing with. This DVD provides educators and coaches with this information, delving into the sociological development of this new generation, the determinant causes, and the specific mannerisms and attitudes that separates this generation from the rest.
This generation is referred to as the Echo Boomers, Generation Y, or the Millennials. These Echo Boomers are optimistic, overachieving, and technologically savvy. They have so much to offer and will truly be shaping the world we live in. You will get to know today’s newest generation, what makes them tick, how did they come to be, and more importantly, what we can do to not only embrace their potential, their skills, and traits, but to enhance upon our teaching, coaching, and employment of this new generation.
