Coaching for Character: Reclaiming the Principles of Sportsmanship
""""Clifford and Feezell have done an excellent job of identifying that fine line that exists between participation-only and win-at-all-costs attitudes. This is must-reading for ALL coaches, but especially for those younger coaches just entering the profession. This book really made me think about the expectations I have for our players, both on and off the basketball floor."""Lon KrugerHead Men's Basketball CoachUniversity of Illinois """The educational purpose of high school athletics and fine arts programs must be about more than teaching a young person to hit a curve ball or throw a perfect spiral or play an instrument or even earn a scholarship. Our No. 1 goal should be developing good people for our country--good citizens who will contribute to the quality of life in America and the world. Through this book and our NFICEP Citizenship Through Sports training, we will be better able to accomplish this mission."""Robert F.
