Works
Our first book, "What Junior Sports Coaches Should Know," is based on our research of junior sports. We wrote it with empathy for amateur coaches who are doing their best, as well as parents who support players. Adults' support is essential for children to play sports. When providing support, simply conveying knowledge of the sport is not enough. Coaches need to have teaching skills. Drawing on psychological insights, this book proposes ways coaches can provide better guidance.	"Active parenting and a growth of the parents through sports" This book describes links childcare, life and sports. Specifically, important information for child-raising, from the importance of children's play and life to competitive sports is included. There are many Q&As for parents. Some column related with the US and Germany, Philippines are also included .
