  • Coaches

    Christine Honders

    Library Binding (PowerKids Press, Dec. 15, 2019)
    Sports are a huge part of American culture. Many people pick favorite teams and cheer for them through thick and thin, and many students play on sports teams in their community. One reason teams do well is because of their coaches. Coaches help athletes become everything they want to be and empower young people to figure out their strengths. They study different strategies and motivate people to do their best. Coaches encourage people to work together as a team to achieve a common goal. Sporty photographs of coaches in real-life situations help readers remember important facts from the narrative.
