Coaching Waves ~ 77 Purposeful Ways to Coach Young Athletes Denise Urycki and Kim Keenan, authors Coaching Waves is a manuscript intended to serve as a spiritual instructional guide by providing a deeper approach in seeking a new value in organized sports while recognizing the gifts each player brings to the team. In a world of high competition and ego-centered philosophies, our manuscript teaches how to find the genuine meaning of the athletic experience that can bring out the best in players, coaches and parents. It provides a guide to help coaches, but also serves as a spiritual map for those interested in mentoring through mutual respect and recognition of human worth. Coaching Waves has been accepted by the Writer's Edge Manuscript Service, under the title, "Who's Coaching That Kid, Honestly!"
