Full Description
Wellness is complex and powerful. And when wellness is maximized in the sports setting, athletes and coaches alike are set up to succeed.
In Winning Well: Maximizing Coach and Athlete Wellness, Cara Cocchiarella and Camille Adana provide coaches and coach developers with the means to implement a more inclusive coaching environment through wellness. Each aspect of wellness is defined within the context of sports, provided along with tips for application within the sports setting. Tangible guidelines are supplemented with personal testimonies from a diverse group of athletes and coaches who highlight their experiences with wellness in coaching—or lack thereof. Self-assessments are provided as powerful tools to help coaches evaluate their own wellness, their promotion of athlete wellness, and inclusive practices.
The demand for wellness and inclusion in sports is substantial, and Winning Well is the first practical guide to help coaches and coach developers bring wellness to the forefront of their practices. Written for coaches in all sports who work with athletes at any level, this book is an inspiring, timely, and accessible resource for those who want to move towards more effective and impactful coaching.
