And Other Truths About Winning

De: Dan Blank

Narrado por: Don Bratschie

Written by Dan Blank, Everything Your Coach Never Told You Because You’re a Girl is one of the most inspirational stories ever written for the female athlete. Coaches and teams of all sports – from soccer to golf to equestrian – have embraced this book as the foundation for a new brand of female competitor.

Everything Your Coach Never Told You isn’t a soccer book, it’s a life book filled with competitive lessons that most girls never get the chance to hear. The edgy and passionate voice of Don Bratschie makes this audio-book jump to life with stories of a small-college soccer team that refused to conform to the warm and fuzzy image of female athletes. Listeners will join their remarkable journey from doormat to champions and feel as if they are right there in the locker room on game day, listening to a coach driving them forward into battle.

What did you love best about Everything Your Coach Never Told You Because You're a Girl?

is a good inspiration read. after listening to this book before my pickup game, I got inspired to win. and had one of the best games I've had in a while, and played well for 3 hours in pickup setting, like never before. So it's good for "mental training". but the title is a bit misleading and is just a "hook". I listened to his other audibooks about soccer IQ and they were very informative in a technical sense but not as inspiring. and his attitude the soccer IQ books was appalling: condescending and arrogant. in this book I actually appreciated him as a person and coach

Love it

Maybe I'm not a true "winner" because it seems over the top at times but overall has a great message. Loved this book!

Amazing!!!!

I love this book. It makes you determined. It doesn’t matter if you don’t play soccer you should read it no matter what sport. Overall it’s a amazing book!!!!

Wow-Floored

My daughter is 13 we have both listened to this and amazed. This resonated with the both of us but I feel she got out of it is that a lot of things dad says is true but sounds WAY better out of Dans mouth. Dad never played soccer, dad never did certain things...thanks Dan for sharing the stories of strong female athletes. My daughter is a leader and you gave her the perfect template.

mind blowing

omg, opened my mind, I coach U14G rec soccer. not completely applicable but lots of good stuff. recommend but put your seat belt on!

The truth, not just girl teams, but society!

This book points out exactly what we are missing. Not only for girl teams, but the direction that we are leading our youth/ society today. Everyone gets a trophy/medal is not the direction we need to go! HEALTHY, STRONG, competition is good for the development of EVERY PLAYER.
Yes it opened my eyes about the players I have questioned, “how are they so productive on the field, but don’t have as much talent, skill wise, as others on the team?”. The players that gave 100%, that can’t comprehend losing. Sacrifice their body. They wanted to win, they did everything they could to win, that mentality gives them the edge, that mentality some of my most skilled players can never obtain. They are the ones that connect and give it all and they got your back. They are missed when they aren’t there. They love each other and even me, and mean it!
Got your back!
This book helps to affirm the coaching and team dynamics that some people are afraid of commuting too. Or are questioned when they are bringing a team up the right way!
Loved this book!! More than just a soccer coaching book! It’s about life!!
Thank you!

Brutaly honest book about winning

Would you listen to Everything Your Coach Never Told You Because You're a Girl again? Why?

Yes, definitely. Brutaly honest book about winning in sports. It's meant for teenage female athletes but is equally beneficial for parents, coaches and athletes in general.

Great motivational book

My 11 year old and I enjoyed listening to this book. It applies to more than soccer and sports. It is about accountability and working for what you want, something the younger generations seem to miss out on.

LOVE this & "In My Tribe"

Both titles by Dan Blank were the push that I needed, reaffirming my beliefs and providing the perspective to begin treating situations a bit differently. Very empowering, highly recommend.

A Must Read for Competitive Female Athletes!!!

I had my volleyball team read this book and they LOVED it. The concepts are not mind-blowing - but having all of this down in print is really quite valuable for all of us who could never really quite put into words what special qualities the best female competitors in the world exhibit. Good work, Dan.
