In his book Coaching the Mental Game H.A. Dorfman states, “Whether good or bad, everything a coach says or does becomes a message that the athletes receive, interpret, and respond to mentally. They too may never forget. Does the message make sense? Is it honest? Is it rational or emotional? Is it consistent with what’s been said before? Is the meaning clear? What’s its purpose?” This book is one of the many resources that fellow Win the Tip! members are reading. To view the Win the Tip! Book List, click here. Member News!
