Every great sports coach is a life coach. This book identifies 168 outstanding coaches who have much to teach us about optimizing our performance, our character, and our lives. Coaches build winning teams and enable each athlete they mentor, guide, cajole, and nurture to achieve top performance. More than this, every great sports coach is first and last a life coach. Sportswriter Justin Spizman identifies and profiles 168 of the greatest coaches and managers of all time. They have much to teach us about optimizing our performance, our character, and our lives. Coach: The Greatest Teachers in Sports and Their Lessons for Us All profiles coaches in every significant sport, from football, basketball, baseball, and hockey to gymnastics, skating, rowing, rugby, soccer, and more. From field to court, diamond, rink, and pitch, the big leagues to the Olympics, college, and high school, Coach delivers the most teachable moments and methods—for play, for competition, and for life. Rich in quotations, each profile ends with lessons for top performance on and off the field, in and beyond the arena. Justin Spizman tracks all the relevant stats—for every sport keeps score—but he seeks first and last to disclose the mind, the heart, and the force of character that drive each of the indispensable men and women behind the world’s most envied and admired athletes. His profiles range from the likes of Cardinals manager Tony La Russa (already an MLB legend), to Aimee Boorman and Cecile Canqueteau-Landi (who both coached gymnastics phenom Simone Biles), Bill Belichick (the take-no-prisoners field general of the New England Patriots), Pat Summitt (who racked up 1,098 wins as coach of the University of Tennessee Lady Vols basketball team from 1974 to 2012), Marián Vajda (the coach behind tennis titan Novak Djokovic), and David Leadbetter (golf guru to champions Kathy Baker, Nick Faldo, and Michelle Wie).

Olympus and Beyond by Allan Lawrence is the story of sport (running) told against the backdrop of the bigger human story of atmosphere, emotions, and relationships from the beginning, where a young Australian boy watched a newsreel and saw an American Naval Ensign become the first human in history to exceed 15' in the pole vault in Madison Square Garden. He vowed that one day he would compete in Madison Square Garden and break a world record. True to his word, seventeen years later, almost to the day, he succeeds, although in a different event. This is the fascinating tale of a young boy's rise in the athletic field and his coming to the United States, where he won several NCAA titles (both individual and team), and won All-American selection ten times, while winning AAU titles in cross-country, indoor, and track running. He struggled along the way with citizenship and health issues, but his determination and persistence allowed him to overcome these obstacles. Allan Lawrence is a true competitor.
In Talking to the Team: Inspired Track and Field Coaching, Coach Del Hessel reaches into his personal archives and memories over a long storied career as an athlete and a coach, and has documented a wonderful telling of instances where a coach's conversation with an athlete(s) has resulted in opening the door to additional insight, communication and in many cases, an athlete's breakthrough. Coach Hessel is hoping that this book will fuel in many coaches a desire to learn from those who have gone before them; Hessel he does so in a way that leaves the reader with a really keen understanding of the unbelievable backstories of some very memorable events who were completely or in part shaped by a coach 'talking to the team'. Hessel calls on a rich supporting cast of additional coaches and athletes, to share additional insights on observations, on what works, on what does not, where coaches can offer assistance, how parents can best support their athletes, things coaches can do to enrich the athlete experience and more! As an athlete, Coach Hessel was ranked as one of the top ten 800-meter runners. He competed in the NCAA championships, the USA championships, and in the U.S. Olympic trials. He received the "Nye" award as the most Outstanding Athlete at Colorado State his senior year and later was voted into the Colorado State "Hall of Fame". Coach Hessel coached in the high school ranks for five years before starting a remarkable college coaching career. Coach Hessel has an outstanding grasp of all of the track and field events, and Hessel-coached programs produced over ninety NCAA All-Americans in a wide variety of events. It is his philosophy that the head coach should be able to coach all of the track and field events with accuracy and energy. He has spoken at coaches' clinics in nearly every state in the union covering nearly all events. Coach Hessel coached track and field in the Division 1 ranks for nearly 40 years in three different conferences and been voted "Conference Coach of the Year" sixteen times. Besides his head coaching duties, Hessel served as president of the Coaches Cross-Country Association, was the head coach for the US Olympic Sports Festival southern team held at the Air Force Academy, served on the Olympic development staff for the middle distance events for 10 years, was on the World Cup staff and the USA vs Great Britain staff and has given numerous lectures on training at the US Olympic training center in California. While at CSU he was the first coach in the conference to break BYU's long-time stranglehold on the conference title for both men and women. In 2024, Coach Hessel was inducted into the Colorado Running Hall of Fame. Hessel has written six books. The other five are: Striving for Perfection in Middle Distance Running, The Motivated Coach, The Spirit of a Champion, Instincts in Coaching Track and Field, and Coaching Every Event in Track & Field.
