Review: Conscious Coaching: A Must Read for All Strength Coaches - If you are a strength and conditioning coach, you should buy this book. The information Brett Bartholomew provides is an insightful look into the wide variety of athlete personalities and mindsets. From the beginning, Brett provides applicable information to help you start becoming a better coach today. Athlete Archetypes Brett’s book helps you find yourself by giving a 3-step self-discovery process, so you can better help your athletes. Once you know what drives you, understanding that your athletes have their own drives will guide your future interactions with them. By far the most helpful section of the book is where the different athlete archetypes are introduced. Understanding that not all athletes are the same will open your eyes to new ways of communicating with them. A style of communication that works for “the Soldier” might not get the best results from “the Wolverine.” Building Trust After the athlete archetypes, Brett explains some common mistakes coaches make and ways to improve trust with your athletes. Many of these mistakes are common issues seen in weight rooms all over the country. He offers simple corrections and food for thought when these mistakes pop up. Through his “Trust Tenets,” you can start creating buy-in right away. Without this trust, athletes will just see you as another authority figure trying to control their lives. You must become what a coach is meant to be: a mentor to build them up and guide them down the right path. Refer to This Book Often Read and highlight sections of this book. Look back on the “Trust Tenets” often. Always be looking to apply aspects of this book whenever possible. If you find yourself becoming complacent, look back to the section on common mistakes and double check that you are not falling into any of those traps. From finding your inner drive, to how to interact with different athletes, this book will guide you in building better relations with not only your athletes but also with other people in your life. Treat athletes as people with complex personalities and their own unique feelings. This book will help bring out the “Conscious Coach” in you.
Review: Highly recommend - I'll preface my review by saying that this is the first 'coaching' book I've read cover to cover. Although coaching is my profession I've all too often found coaching books to be rather superficial, platitudinal, and lacking depth. When it comes to coaching, the personal/communicational/relational side of things is arguably (maybe inarguably) the most important part of it all but I just have never found anything that seems to have gotten that right. I've mostly relied on works of philosophy and theology to work through these deeper issues in terms of ethics, leadership. care for the individual, and so on, but I can sincerely say that in my estimation Brett's new book really gets it right. There's plenty of good stuff in chapters 1, 2, 4, and 5, but the place where the book truly shines is in chapter 3. Brett does a good job revealing his own background early on in the book and makes a concerted effort to get us coaches to truly work on knowing ourselves to better know our athletes. That's a mantra I've had my whole life and really connected with. Overall though, chapter 3 is unlike anything I've read before in any sports related book. The section on archetypes I found intellectually stimulating, creative, thoughtful, genuine, and very original. I found it exceptionally helpful and even found it very entertaining. Reading it not only gave me some great insight's, it also served as a waltz through my coaching career and sometimes laughed at how accurate the descriptions were of some particular individuals. Overall Conscious Coaching is an integral work of a new wave of sports science books that have come out this year. I do believe the profession is entering a new era, a renaissance of sorts....actually maybe more like a revolution, and this work is a centerpiece in it. I couldn't recommend it more, and coaches of all walks of life would benefit greatly from it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It’s an easy to read (more art than science) treatise on Brett’s ...
*by W***S on December 20, 2017*

This book is not a reps and sets sports book. It’s an easy to read (more art than science) treatise on Brett’s extensive hands on experience thus far in the coaching world. Experience backed by education. One thankfully he’s chosen to share with us. The identification of character and behavioral traits (archetypes) athletes we’ve all worked with, (while not always labelling), and the advice about how to work in with each of them is enlightening, and when blended in with the guidelines (tenets) Brett outlines as part of his best practice coaching model, it undoubtedly informs the reader of how to become much more aware of who you are and your role in the athlete coach relationship. Brett advocates for strong inter-personal relationship’s between the coach and the athlete, while at the same time reinforcing how important it is when trying to create trust to be authentic. Reading books alone will not make you a good coach, but reading this one will definitely make you a better one. Brett uses other authors, mentors, and coaches to provide the reader with quotes you can use, and also shared experience (case studies) regarding real life applications of how, when, what and most importantly why to learn, adopt and implement the strategies he believes make a more conscious coach. This book will inform, encourage and illuminate your journey as a coach while positively reinforcing the progress you may have already made. It makes you contemplate your own journey and confront your mistakes, giving constructive solutions or options. Keep it in your kit bag, highlight it, dog-ear it, underline, annotate and refer back to time and time again. It’s a tomb of wisdom. Use it as a resource. That’s what this guy wrote it for! It’s a good one! Wez Ivarifit.com
