Critic reviews

"Day in and day out great coaches show up with energy, passion and a commitment to knowing their students and learning all they can to bring out their best. Emma Doyle has demonstrated these qualities since her earliest days of coaching and now she brings them to life in this book. I recommend this book to all coaches who want to grow and develop their students and most importantly, themselves." Nick Bollettieri, Legendary Tennis Coach

"We can all be better coaches and being a better coach means being a constant and consistent learner. This book puts a spotlight on what to focus on, to bring curiosity, passion, and the true love of coaching to our profession. It is inspiring, honest and heartfelt." Jack Groppel, PhD, Professor, Judson University and Co-founder Human Performance Institute
