Coaching like a Champion is about providing solutions to the daily pressures and stressors coaches face in their programs by focusing on the following: - Fulfilling your regular coaching responsibilities in a proactive, forward-thinking way - Incorporating the eight essential building blocks into your coaching style as you lead your team and execute your coaching objectives and plan - Providing tools for dealing with the challenges of coaching and teaching others to live a life of excellence and fulfillment There is no shortage of books on becoming a champion but most relate to player qualities, characteristics, and disposition. Coaching like a Champion explores how coaches can attend to their own work in building the mindset of a champion and elevating their sports program to the next level. There is no coincidence with the author using the verb coaching in his title. It connotes action and being intentional about your work. It cannot be practiced from a conservative perspective. The best ideas win, and the best ideas come from people who dare to be different, to dream, and to do things that no one dreamed possible. Dream big. Imagine what's possible. Coach with creativity. Be your own champion. There are no limits.
Steve Miller
Maine-based writers Sharon Lee and Steve Miller teamed up in the late 1980s to bring the world the story of Kinzel, an inept wizard with a love of cats, a thirst for justice, and a staff of true power.
In the decades since, until Steve's death in 2024, the Lee-and-Miller writing team published over 100 works of fantastic fiction, the majority set in their genre-bending Liaden Universe(R), demonstrating their shared philosophy that fiction ought to be fun--both the reading and the writing of it.
During their long and storied career, Steve and Sharon were celebrated as guests of honor at more than two dozen science fiction conventions across the country and were also frequent panelist and featured speakers.
Their awards include the Prizm for Best Futuristic Romance, The Golden Duck for Best YA SF, the Reader's Choice Award for the Year's Best Military and Adventure SF of 2017, and the Edward E. Smith Memoria Award for Imaginative Fiction (the Skylark).
Sharon is continuing to work in the universe she and Steve built together.
