4D Pyramid Coaching for Sports and Business

Book Cover & Preview Text
Talk to Me We carry our lives, loves, hopes, and fears every moment of the day. From our very beginnings, we are molded and shaped into who we are today. Yet a coach sees only the person who stands in front of him or her in the here and now with a plan for what could come. A more insightful coach will learn how to dig, drive, or cajole a player forwards in the best and shortest way possible. A player must be able to hear and accept the coach’s suggestions, even if it means questioning why a plan is put in place. Not to discredit the path, more to be able to grasp the context of the concepts and build upon what is already in place or needs to be grown.
