Childhood obesity is an epidemic.
Video games fill more of our children’s time than exercise or good nutrition.
Attention spans are short.
Work ethic disappearing.
Today’s children might be the first generation with such poor health that they will not live longer than their parents.
Youth sports is more important than ever.
Traditional childhood help systems like youth sports are changing. Not because we have less interest in games or letting our children play, but because the world in which we live is different, making our children different too.
- Are you a new coach?
- Have you been a youth coach for awhile?
- Is your team full of more personalities than you can count?
- Is teaching how to play the game an impossible challenge?
- Can you improve the physical skills of your athletes?
- Are you ready to get serious about child’s play?
The gap between our children and how we help them helthy life skills grows wider everyday.
We must find new ways to manage that difference.
My name is Michael Clapier.
When my son was a child, nearly thirty years ago, I volunteered as his little league coach. Since then I have coached baseball, football, wrestling, softball and much more. I have even used many of the strategies that I learned coaching in other work with junior high school students, boy scouts and senior high school athletes.
When I started coaching I put in my time and did the best I knew how. The longer I worked with kids the more I realized that I understood very little yet hopedevery child on my team had have a positive experience. I wanted to see significant improvemente in how they played from the beginning of the season until its end.
The more I studied what was taking place the more I knew that:
- I did not know how to make a significant change.
- My athlete’s reasons for playing were not the same as mine.
- I watched a lot of coaches make a lot of mistakes.
- I had no where to go for answers.
I could not find a book that answered my questions or addressed the problems that I saw.
As I conducted a workout or watched another team I began looking for things that worked. I started writing. I recorded every thing I saw that worked, listed everything that needed to work and cringed every time I and other coaches did things wrong.
The more I studied coaching, the more questions I asked.
- How do you teach children with ADD?
- How do you coach kids with poor physical skills?
- How do you help good athletes get better?
- How do you design a workout?
- What do you when something works for half the team and nothing works for the other?
- How do you communicate with kids, parents and other coaches?
- How do you win?
- How do you define winning?
- How do you keep your cool when the game is close and you want to scream, fight or run away?
- How do you build a great program?
- How long should you coach one group of athletes?
- What do you say on the sideline during the game that will be effective?
- How do you motivate kids?
- How do you make them work?
- How much play is too much?
- How do you keep their attention?
- When you see a problem do you know how to help that child?
- What are the problems that you should recognize?
Every time I could ask a new question I sought its answer. I tested every premise, looked for answers to every problem and examined each solution in the laboratory of my own teams. I know what I am talking about because I found the solutions!
The end product of following two decades of trial and error is a book, Coaching Young Couch Potatoes. I am pleased to say I have used every strategy, technique and skill contained in its pages and I guarantee they work.
If you will open your mind to what I discovered and pay attention to the secrets I uncovered you will have great success working with today’s young athlete
If you are new to coaching here is your road map to success, fun, and great relationships with kids.
I coached three of Stephen R. Covey’s grandsons. I asked if he would comment on my book. Here is what Dr. Covey said.
In “Coaching Young Couch Potatoes,” Michael Clapier teaches coaches what I call Primary Greatness (character/values) as opposed to the traditional Secondary Greatness (winning is everything) as an effective way to mentor young athletes.
I have always believed that winning is only one of many goals set by a wise coach to develop a balanced young man or woman. How valuable it would be if coaches nurtured, inspired vision, and instilled character development into young athletes so they could apply these lessons not only in sports but to life’s experiences.
