A Story on Team Building, Leadership and Success that Can Transform Your Mindset and Methodology

A fiction book in the WCC library? When ‘We’ Replaces ‘Me’ is a book based on a coach’s real life experiences on how to transform a struggling team into winners. Much more than just a story, It’s packed with priceless insights on improving your mindset, leadership and motivational skills, which can change your entire attitude to life, as well as your coaching.

 

Dear Coach,

This isn’t a book on drills and exercises, but it’s a book that will help you coach your team to success.

Do you ever struggle to get stubborn, under performing players to follow your instructions? Is team spirit at rock bottom, with egotistical players looking out for themselves and not what’s best for the entire squad? In these cases, just changing your drills or formation isnt the answer. You need to change the atmosphere in the dressing room and your players’ mindset to change their attitude and improve performance.

When ‘We’ Replaces ‘Me’ is a bit different than the coaching guides we normally publish. There are no drills, diagrams or coaching points. Instead, what you get is a story about how one coach was able to turn a team of embittered malcontents into a dominant force by adding some key principles to his coaching style. It’s filled with valuable ideas on how to motivate players and instill them with the positive, selfless mindset they may be missing.

This is the book for you. But most importantly, do you want to improve as a person yet stand up for what your values and beliefs are? Then this book is for YOU!! This book will give you insight, ideas, ways to manage internal and external issues on and off the field.

This is a fascinating, thought-provoking look at soccer from a woman who has knowledge, experience and tremendous attitude towards the sport and its demands. More to the point, she is a terrific researcher and a fine, thoughtful writer. An excellent book that really does live up to its title, I found that it changed my way of thinking about certain aspects of coaching and helped me to re-evaluate what I was currently doing. I would highly recommend this to any coaches of all levels.

Having met Denise personally while on a soccer Coach education course in Scotland I already knew how committed, determined and hard-working an individual she was. This book gives you a real life expectation of what it takes to be successful and Denise displays this very well, with creative and purposeful writing.” – Craig Clark, Sports Coaching Lecturer and Head of Junior Academy at Kilmarnock Football Club.

What’s covered in When We Replaces Me

When ‘We’ Replaces ‘Me’ is a story about Mark Davidson, a successful coach from North Dakota who joins Atlantic Coast University to try and reverse their football team’s dramatic decline. When he arrives the ‘Predators’ are suffering both on and off the field with back to back losing seasons. Some players are also having brushes with the law, while the entire squad is dejected, disrespectful and completely lacking in team spirit.

Initially, Davidson struggles to gain the respect of his players or his staff. But he then gains inspiration from an unexpected source. Over the course of the book, he embarks on a voyage of discovery, experiencing a new approach to coaching that takes him off the ‘approval treadmill’ with an entirely new approach. This approach enables him to gain greater energy, enthusiasm and a positive outlook which he then instills into his players.
