Practical & Inspiring for Our School Community & as a Parent!
[...](I am not even a swim coach and this book is worth it!) Here’s why:As the principal of a private Christian school, I’m always looking for ways to build a positive, mission-driven culture among my staff and students. Anthony’s “Team F.I.R.S.T.” philosophy—emphasizing Fun, Integrity, Relationships, Servanthood, and Trust—has been a game-changer for us.I’ve integrated these principles into everything from staff meetings to student activities (and even my own home!), and the results have been incredible. The culture in our school is stronger, our relationships are healthier, and our sense of purpose has never been clearer. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to build a fun, values-driven community. Thank you, Anthony Schulz, for such an easy to read and follow and powerful framework!

Good book if you’ve never coached anything before; paying mostly for the workouts
[...]In all honesty this book was incredibly over priced for the depth of wisdom presented in the book. The FIRST acronym for the foundation of a team-centric is useful, but more just reiterates how to not be a jerk. There are a few examples of how to incorporate this into your team mentality with swimmers and other coaches.Anyways this series of books (while not specifically geared towards HS, but use your brain) has been a lot more helpful for my first years as a head coach. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B096M1LGKZ?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
