Conscious Coaching: The Art and Science of Building Buy-In

Narrated by: K Foster

Length: 9 hrs and 32 mins

Publisher's Summary

In the world of strength and conditioning, learning how to move others not just physically, but also psychologically and emotionally is paramount to getting the most out of them. People are the ultimate performance variable, and understanding how to effectively blend knowledge of proper training with the nuances of human behavior is integral to helping athletes achieve their ultimate goals. Unfortunately, while much attention has been given to the science of physical training, little attention has been given to the science of communication.

Conscious Coaching: The Art and Science of Building Buy-In bridges this gap. Listeners learn the foundational principles of improving relationships, enhancing engagement, and gaining the trust of athletes through targeted communication. And, every bit as important, listeners also learn concrete strategies to apply these principles in day-to-day coaching situations they will inevitably encounter.

The result is a game-changing book that has been used by professional sports teams, Fortune 500 companies, Universities, multinational coaching organizations and the United States Special Forces that sets the stage for coaches and leaders of all kinds to create a culture of success not only within sport, but also beyond. Conscious Coaching is a movement and its time has come.

Narration was distracting.

Very much enjoyed the book and found the material insightful and useful. I’m certain it will go far to improve my own coaching of my clients and the coaching of my staff.

I’ve only listened to a handful of audio books but am beginning to appreciate it more when the author reads the book her/himself. The character voices on this one were unnecessary and annoying at times.

This book is where all coaching begins

Excellent book, written in a very digestible way. If you are a coach of any sort, this book should be on your top list of resources.

A Must Read!

This Book is for anyone who Coaches Athletes, Young & Old. Thank You Coach Brett for Sharing your Knowledge & Your Story!!

Young coach excited to learn<br />

Excellent book and a must read for any coach. I am always looking for a mentor and always working towards learning more. This book was a necessary read for myself as a helath professional and coach.

So Much Information

I will definitely have to purchasing this in print as I need to underline. I have listened to this book twice and still don't feel like I've absorbed all I need to from this book. i use the information in here daily with clients and it work! wonderful read!

Fantastic. All of my coaches will be getting a copy.

The only issue I had was the narrator, some parts I couldn’t get past the accents he attempted, but the content of the book is phenomenal, so it’s not as bad to get through it.

It's okay, but a little drawn out.

This book should be half it's size and it would be a great one. I struggled to get through it.

Enlightening

I have been searching for a book such as this to strengthen my role as coach to young and adult swimmers. The foundations of this material have provided exceptional clarity into how to approach the different personalities residing within the athletes I train, and has opened my eyes to great tools to improve the way athletes are lead into outstanding performances. A masterpiece!

Amazing book!!! Must have for every coach

Amazing book I would recommend to every coach or leader of groups. So many nuggets from Brett. As an up and coming coach myself I learn't so much that I now aim to use daily. it covers all bases. I will have book as a manual script and guide for rest of my career.

Great job Brett!!!!!
