Coaching Up! is about inspiring those who matter to you to achieve peak performance. Whether you are a coach, a business leader, a civic activist, a teacher, a counselor, or a parent, this book will offer you a powerful, highly effective way to connect to the people you care about and move them forward toward their best selves. In sports, coaches have developed ways of connecting with their players quickly in the "heat of the battle," inspiring them to perform to their fullest potential and "leave it all on the field." Interestingly, although these techniques have not been codified, great coaches have independently developed remarkably similar models. This book aligns these techniques and distills their essence into a fundamental skill set that anyone can use to connect with, support, and inspire his or her colleagues, teammates, friends, and family members. At its foundation, great coaching is based on a solid set of techniques that can be applied to all areas of life. Essentially, those skills boil down to forging authentic connections, providing genuine support, and offering concise direction.

While our everyday pressures may be less intense than those of a championship, the long-term game is even more important. Why not borrow from the best to develop the skills and abilities to win every day?

*Inspire and motivate people to higher performance
*Improve communication in high-stakes situations
*Be more effective both professionally and socially

A great coach can make the difference between a mediocre player and a world champion. What would that difference look like if you could inspire every colleague in your business? Everyone who matters to you in your personal life? You can be the source of empowerment and motivation that helps the people around you reach higher, go further, and achieve more. Coaching Up! gives you the game plan—and shows you how to run the plays. Show less

Learn the true stories behind the making of some of America’s greatest athletes, and how they beat the odds one grueling training session at a time -- when no camera was on them, and when no one knew their names.

Behind every great athlete is a private coach. Those coaches are the ones who gave those athletes confidence, who pushed them beyond their limits, who corrected their games when they went south, who taught them how to really play, and who believed in them when no one else did. This book belongs to those athletes, to the private coaches who guided them, and to all the rest of us who have our own athletic dreams -- or the desire, intuition, and skills to help others achieve their dreams.

In Reaching Another Level, Jordan Fliegel -- a former professional athlete, longtime private coach, and Founder of CoachUp, America’s leader in private coaching, gives you a behind-the-scenes look into the work of making a modern-day athlete in the ultra-competitive world of sports, from the youth ranks on up through the pros.
