Description
For the Love of the Game is a practical handbook for coaches who want to build a team culture rooted in belonging, identity and togetherness, not just talk about it.
Most books on team culture tell the stories of legendary teams. This one shows you how to create that kind of connection in your own team, whether you coach children, grassroots players or elite athletes.
Grounded in decades of social psychology and tested in environments ranging from youth sport to Olympic programmes and the Royal Marines, the book introduces the TRIBE method: a clear, step-by-step approach to building team identity and belonging.
Inside you’ll find more than 60 practical tools and ready-to-use activities to help players feel safe, valued and committed to something bigger than themselves. You’ll learn how to turn everyday moments such as warm-ups, huddles and team talks into experiences that strengthen connection, raise standards and improve performance.
Written for real coaches in the real world, this is not a book about perfect environments or famous teams from the past. It is a guide for coaches working on muddy pitches, in bad weather, with busy players and limited time, who still want to build a team that people love belonging to.
As Bruce Daisley says, it is “an incredible compendium of assets to make your own team better.”
