Coaching with Heart
Taoist Wisdom to Inspire, Empower, and Lead in Sports & Life
Coaching with Heart is a provocative and practical "game changer" in the shifting landscape of coaching in athletics, business and life. Inside, you will awaken to the power of caring, to the magic of being stronger by being softer, to the value of failure and the need for risk, to the positive effects of a culture of unity and cohesion as you cultivate loyalty and dedication to your system.
The book will also demonstrate and teach how the Taoist virtues of respect, trust, compassion, belief, and integrity are essential qualities cultivated by every truly successful coach and leader throughout the world.
