Drawing from the text Successful Coaching, written by ASEP founder Rainer Martens, Ph.D., Coaching Principles provides coaches with essential instruction on the principles of coaching, behavior, teaching, physical training, and management. Coaching Principles is the study of the fundamentals of being a successful coach--before even stepping on the playing field.

Through this course, students are challenged to: ? Define who they are as coaches (their coaching philosophy,

objectives, and style); ? Enhance communication and motivational skills; ? Become more effective teachers and trainers; ? Improveteam,relationship,and risk managementskills.

Coaching Principles $70 (with print book) ? $60 (with e-book)

According to National Athletic Trainers Association statistics, nearly half of sports injuries occur during practice. Sport First Aid is designed to help coaches learn the skills to be a competent first responder to players' injuries and illnesses. Sport First Aid is different from general first-aid courses in that its focus is on dealing with the injuries and illnesses a coach can expect to encounter on the playing field:

? Develop basic knowledge of sport injuries; ? Recognize common sport injuries; ? Administer appropriatefirst aid.

Sport First Aid $50 (with print book) ? $40 (with e-book)
