The book is a MUST-HAVE for all coaches and coach supervisors. The detailed descriptions of the 25 tips are well researched and balance practical and theory. The work is situated in such a way that the position, which does not have formalized training can receive understanding, implementation, and self evaluation well above and beyond what is currently available. I am impressed by the examples, the practical details and the breadth of subjects covered within the book. The writing is clear, detailed, crisp, and moves at an exceptional pace. It is easy to digest, and informative, while reaffirming. It is the example of what a handbook should look like!
