Whether you’re working through this on your own or alongside other coaches, this workbook is designed to help you reflect, apply, and take action on the principles of Coaching with Purpose. It’s more than just reading—a space to sharpen your skills, organize your thoughts, and become the kind of coach who leads with clarity and confidence.
This workbook is a companion to Coaching with Purpose: Five Fundamentals for Every Youth Sports Coach. In the book, I outline five key areas every coach should focus on:
1. Get Organized
2. Set Expectations
3. Believe in Yourself
4. Define Success
5. Think Like a Teacher
These five fundamentals are the building blocks of an intentional coaching experience—not just for your athletes, but for you as a leader. Each chapter of the book offers practical tools, stories, and ideas to help you navigate the challenges of youth sports. But reading the book is only the beginning.
This workbook is where you turn those ideas into action.
Each module in the workbook is aligned with a chapter in the book. You’ll find space to reflect, apply what you’ve learned, and make concrete plans for how you want to show up this season. You can move through the modules in order or jump to the one that speaks to what you’re facing right now—whether that’s setting clearer expectations, getting more organized, or simply needing a reminder that you’re doing better than you think.
You don’t need to finish it all at once. Go at your own pace. Come back to it when you need a reset or a boost. Use it to stay grounded in your purpose—especially when the season gets tough, communication gets messy, or you start to doubt yourself.
You don’t have to be a perfect coach—You just have to be a purposeful one.
