Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In The Coach's Compass, the third book in The Art of the Green series, Coach Watha brings to light the many unseen responsibilities of a coach and explores how to navigate them. He looks beyond the development of playing skills to the character, self-awareness, discernment and leadership required to guide others effectively. The book excels through its use of conversational dialogue between coach and mentor, creating the impression that the reader is personally present during their conversations. Each sentence and paragraph offers valuable insights and food for thought, encouraging readers to reflect on their own experiences, challenge their assumptions and develop a deeper understanding of what it means to mature and grow as a coach. Without direction, the destination remains unknown. The Coach's Compass is a milestone in recognising that coaching extends beyond the physical aspects of the game. It is also a journey of personal growth, shaped by mindful introspection, greater self-awareness and an understanding of the responsibility that comes with developing others. The Coach's Compass is a must-read for anyone involved in the development of others, including coaches across all sports, teachers, parents, mentors, selectors, and sport administrators. It challenges us to look beyond performance and recognise that our responsibility is not only to develop better athletes, but also to nurture better people, while continually striving to become better coaches, teachers, mentors and leaders ourselves.
