Create a Coaching Beyond the Xs and Os Handbook

Create a Coaching Beyond the Xs and Os Handbook

To illustrate the 4 primary roles of a Leadership Educator (Model, Motivate, Mentor, Multiply), you will be asked to compile your work from this class into a coaching handbook. One way in which a coach can earn the trust of their athletes is by clarifying expectations. Creating a handbook is one way in which to do this. To be a successful leader, you must be someone that has earned the trust of those who you hope to have influence over.

For your final assignment you will create a handbook, CBXO’s Handbook (Coaching Beyond the Xs and Os handbook), that will illustrate your personal strategy to create an environment of trust that shifts the culture of coaching to include a focus that goes beyond the Xs and Os, and W/L column. Feel free to rename your handbook as you see appropriate.

The handbook should include the following items, and the entries are to be in this order:
1.Create a unique cover page for your handbook. (Feel free to give it a creative name.)
