Principles of Successful Coaching by an Old School Coach—Ron Mayberry

About the Book

The first question anyone should have for me is, Why would anyone be interested in an autobiography about my life as a coach? That would be a fair question, since I haven’t won any national championships nor have I been in demand for speaking engagements. If you compare my coaching record to others, my won-lost record doesn’t stand out. With that said, let me explain what I have to offer, and then you decide. This book is not just about my life as a coach, but rather, the lessons I have learned through my coaching career. Being old-school is about coaching kids and young adults, not a particular sport, gender, age, or level of play. I have coached on every level of play that exists and coached both genders on those levels, along with almost every sport that a school offers.
