BEYOND the SKILLS and DRILLS: The Keys to Successfully Coaching Youth Sports

We educate coaches and parents by delivering effective educational training programs.

From the Introduction to Beyond the Skills and Drills

Let’s get this straight from the start: You are a TEACHER first and foremost and a COACH second. Our shirts should read Teacher and not Coach on the left label side of the shirt. Keep repeating to yourself that you are a teacher and not a paid coach. That simple concept changes everything. Become the best possible teacher and, regardless of what the scoreboard says on game days, you will be winning where it counts: with the kids and their parents!

Bill is the best preacher-teacher-mentor and Coach of Coaches I've ever met!

About Bill and Coaching Coaches

Bill Bommarito

Youth Coach, Consultant, Author

Bill Bommarito has been involved with both high school and youth sports for 47 years. In addition, his nationwide coaching and parenting seminars have been attended or watched by nearly 100,000 participants. Bill knew during his teenage years that he wanted to teach and coach. Initially he thought that teaching in the classroom was a necessary evil to coaching at the high school level. To his surprise, he fell in love with teaching and quickly realized that as he improved his teaching skills, his coaching skills dramatically improved. That discovery completely changed his approach to coaching kids. He found that a coach who puts intentional teaching first is far more effective than a reactive screaming coach. It was the beginning of Coaching Coaches. Bill’s book will walk you step by step through his “process” and help you develop your program with the goal of creating the best possible sporting experience for your kids, parents, assistant coaches, officials, administrators and yourself! Become that coach that every child and parent requests from season to season.
