Creating a Culture of Kickass in Female Athletes

By: Dan Blank

Length: 6 hrs and 40 mins

Publisher's Summary

In this riveting follow-up to the best seller Everything Your Coach Never Told You Because You're a Girl, Coach Dan Blank takes aim at the warm and fuzzy double-standard facing those who coach female athletes and reveals the philosophies and methods that sparked a culture of unapologetic competitiveness in a women’s college soccer team that won more games than it was ever supposed to win.

In My Tribe is written specifically for coaches looking to develop a competitive culture within their teams and recounts the author's experience coaching a group of rebellious over-achievers, who became notorious for their commitment to extinguishing the spirit of their opponents. 

In My Tribe details Coach Blank’s unconventional approach to culture-building, from selecting captains and indoctrinating rookies, to aggression, accountability, and self-governance. This book also includes a Tools of the Tribe section - specific exercises that helped to build a culture where teammates were ferociously loyal, where everyone was accountable, and where winning was the only acceptable outcome.   

Written in Blank’s familiar, pull-no-punches style, In My Tribe speaks directly to coaches who strive to build a competitive culture that teaches girls to win, win big, and to never, ever apologize for it.

Entertaining, Enlightening, Inspiring

A wonderful book not only about the importance of team relationships but practicable and actionable information on ways to cultivate and harvest it. Every coach, whether coaching men or woman should take the time to listen and read this.

Great read!

I really enjoyed this book as a follow up from Everything Your Coach Never Told You. It truly breaks down more of the "How" when it comes to building a competitive team.

LOVE this & "Everything Your Coach Never Told You"

As a female, soccer coach, and former player, I found this book inspiring. FINALLY someone had the courage to put it on paper. Have implemented many of the concepts with my own team, and it's been a great experience. Highly recommend.

Phenomenal

It was an exceptional book that not only tells a story, but gives the reader real ways to teach players. A must read for coaches who want more tools in their toolbox!

Awesome book!

This is another great book from Dan Blank! Worth a listen!! It really captures what you need to build a great culture
