About this ebook

A Consistent and Success Coaching Philosophy: Generated by Principles Established in Sports Psychology focuses on how to create a basketball team that depends on one another and is consistently successful from one year to the next. Zachary Exume uses research, coaching principles, and experiences as a coach and a player to give specific instructions to coaches on how to set goals, create expectations, and establish pre- and post-game meals to increase the likelihood of optimal performance from individual athletes to the team as a whole. Although the book focuses on a basketball team, coaches from different sports can use this information, with some adjustments, to build a consistent success team of their own.
