A Season in Their Words Dan Spainhour

In 2004 I put together A Season In Words: A Coach's Guide To Motivation From The Preseason To The Postseason. Early on in my coaching career I started collecting quotes and organizing them as a season unfolds. I thought of things that normally occur within a season and I placed what I thought to be appropriate quotes in corresponding files. A Season In Words was my original quote collection and each section was one of my files. Being a big believer in quotes, I also had a separate folder for quotes that came just from coaches. I thought who better to inspire than people going through the same thing I was going through. As my collection of coaches' quotes grew I realized my collection was completely unorganized. So, just as I had done with A Season In Words, I put quotes directly from coaches in files that corresponded to a season. It just made it so much easier to quickly find motivation that I needed. This book contains the quotes I had in my coach's quote files.
