A Season in Words Review From Basketball Sense Magazine
Inevitably, every coach will hunger for the right words when trying to communicate with his team, especially in certain situations. Whether the situation is before a big game, after a loss, while overcoming adversity, or otherwise, articulating the right idea in words can be most important in the ongoing drive for success. There is always a need for saying the right thing at the right time. In a departure from the norm, Dan Spainhour organized A Season in Words to correspond directly with how a sports season is played out, beginning to end. Similar to the teams he coached, nothing is lost to organization. This 141-page manual, filled with over 1600 opinions, insights, and wits of wisdom, provides a coach with quotes and motivational words for every conceivable situation or problem that could be confronted in a given season. Spainhour collected these words throughout his 20-year coaching career. What were his sources? "Some read, some given, some heard and possibly some even made up." We all have seen numerous publications filled with motivational and inspiring quotes. A Season in Words separates itself from the others with the number and depth of its quotes and with the highly organized 14 situations that the manual focuses on. A Season in Words is a practical tool that could aid any coach as he communicates with his team. |
"Your athletic scholarship book is great--so very informative! I have
recommended it to others." "I have just finished your recruiting guidebook and found it
to be not only informative but very inspiring! I have read a lot of college
scholarship type books. Unlike most books on the subject yours is extremely
well-written and easy to read."--Carole Lipkin, MsEd. Headline from an email
