InSideOut Coaching: How Sports Can Transform Lives
Joe Ehrmann, with Paula Ehrmann and Gregory Jordan. Simon & Schuster, $24 (256p) ISBN 978-1-4391-8298-7
In this uplifting coaching manual, Ehrmann, a former Baltimore Colts football player and motivational speaker, promises to transform youthful existence from hormonal mayhem to potential and purpose. He explains how a childhood trauma of molestation warped him into a raging, unpredictable teen and young man whose life was salvaged by three sports coaches guiding and mentoring him away from the field.His philosophy of "InSideOut" coaching draws upon this trio's development of their young charges with communication and discipline, affirmation, and self-confidence, assuring their success after their playing days. While nothing is original or groundbreaking, Ehrmann's guidebook is full of wise, practical words that should replace the old "winning at all cost" adage. (Aug.)
