Play Better, Live Better is a book that inspires parents, athletes, and coaches to achieve new levels of growth and awareness.

Play Better, Live Better is written primarily for the parents of children participating in organized sports programs. As parents, we have seen coaches yelling, humiliating, or embarrassing a player in a game or practice. Coaches do this because their way of coaching is based on fear. Fear works and it is easy, but the temporary gains in obedience and discipline are short-lived. Unfortunately, some of the negative effects of this coaching method are permanent. This type of coaching is called "command-control" because it is based upon the theory that the coach "knows" and the players do not.

Why is this happening, when the vast majority of coaches want to make a positive difference in their players' lives? The culprit is the coaching method itself. Until now, there has never been an alternative to the command-control approach. Play Better, Live Better provides the alternative. The book outlines a step-by-step process that can be used to coach any sport. The premise of Play Better, Live Better is that it is not "what" we coach, but "how" we coach that has a lasting impact on players.

The book unfolds as a conversation between David O'Meara and the reader. In keeping with the spirit of this revolutionary process, the reader is given the freedom to choose how they will embrace and apply the concepts of the book.

The problems associated with sports today will not be eliminated until the current coaching model itself is replaced. In spite of the best intentions of many coaches, if the "how" does not change, coaching will not change. Play Better, Live Better will make this possible. This is the first book on coaching sports that describes a clear alternative to the typical fear-based model. Choose to inspire your children in sports and at home, order the book today.
