For Coaches: Using my books Coaching With Heart and Creative Coaching will help you to build strong team culture where athletes compete with heart

There is a new breed of leaders and coaches emerging in the exciting world of athletics, men and women who insist on cultivating strong, healthy, dynamic relationships in emotionally safe environments where deep caring, respect, integrity and love are forged. These extraordinary leaders have discovered that the way to be a success is not to win games but to win the relationship game, the single most vital aspect to effective, prosperous coaching in sports. They realize that in order to be effective they need to have much love in their hearts.

Here in his books, he has managed to adapt the wisdom of his experience as well as these timeless and honored ancient strategies that will assist you in stepping outside the box with your leadership endeavors, whether as a coach, mentor, teacher, CEO, military officer, church clergy, parent and anyone who serves in a leadership capacity or aspires to do so. Learn practical, useable gems that will guide you to guide others in environments that will inspire, empower and help those you lead to prepare, practice, plan, play, compete and live with the heart of a champion.

Dr. Lynch's "in the trenches" wisdom has been accrued from his opportunity to work with, talk to, observe and learn from some of the most respected and effective coaches of all time. Coaches such as Phil Jackson, Pat Summit, Dean Smith, Tara Vanderveer, John Wooden, Bill Walsh, Anson Dorrance, Tony Dungy, Bob Hansen, Cindy Timchal and Missy Foote to name a few. Each of these iconic leaders has taught him what it takes to coach with heart. They all have reailzed the importance of cultivating deep bonds and relationships with their athletes. I draw much of my understanding about leadership from this illustrious pool of coaches.

He believes that the single most vital aspect to successful coaching is the quality of the personal relationship between athlete and coach. When you demonstrate that you are truly invested in your athlete's success, they are more inclined to be motivated and self-confident. When you communicate your belief in them, they are more inclined to "go the distance," to do all that you ask, to take appropriate risks and to get going when the going gets tough. Athletes dont care about what you know, they just want to know that you care. John Wooden once said, "There's a great deal of LOVE in my coaching."

With a strong positive relationship, you can ask your athletes to do all it takes to improve and they will oblige accordingly, provided you let them know that you have confidence in their ability to do it. They need to know, also, that if they fail, you will be there to help them to learn from the setback and help them eventually master it.
