The Sports Brain: Why the Cognitive Development of Athletes is the Future of Sports Coaching - Paperback

by Marcus Dibernardo (Author)

Sports Brain is written for coaches who want to understand what "Cognitive Sports Development" is and how they can apply it with their own teams. In order to develop a sports specific cognitive training program, coaches must first grasp a basic understanding of how the brain works. Don't expect to find a ten-step process in sports psychology or twenty-five techniques that will improve your team. What "Sports Brain" provides is a unique perspective and information that will inspire you to rethink how you teach sports. Don't be surprised if after reading the book, you re-evaluate all your current training methods. The best part is the insight in the book is applicable all sports. I happen to be a long time soccer coach, so many of the examples relate to soccer but I have included an array of other sports in the book as well. I am confident Sports Brain will unlock creativity from coaches of all sports as they apply the universal lessons of cognitive sports development.
