Incredible Resource For Any Coach
Just finished reading L-E-A-D by my friend Levi Nelson What an incredible resource for any coach, of any sport, at any level. It includes simple changes that coaches can make today that will have a MAJOR impact on their team tomorrow. Coach… Get this book. Read this book. My favorite quote from the book… “At my funeral, I hope people are not talking about how many games I won or how high I advanced in my coaching ranks. My “why” for coaching is to develop the characteristics of Love, Effort, Attitude, and Discipline within those under my supervision.” -Coach Levi Nelson #LEAD #Leadership #TakeUp #TeachUp #TrainUp #TurnLoose

This is an outstanding book. Well-written, clear and concise, this book functions as a workbook, guide and template for ANYONE who wants to positively impact the world. I am also fortunate enough to have seen Dr. Nelson's impact on his program from the same field, but on the OTHER sideline, since I was the Head Coach at a rival school. I got to witness the transformation at Dr. Nelson's school, before I knew how he did it. I was so impressed that I had to reach out to him to learn more, before this book was even written. We eventually created a new trophy for the rivalry (which I should mention Dr. Nelson's team won it), and then we worked together to raise funds for cancer research through our rivalry game. Dr. Nelson wrote his playbook for life in these pages, and I am a better teacher and coach from reading it, and knowing his work. This book makes clear to me what I witnessed first hand, and what professionals everywhere know in their hearts to be true. That the world CAN be made better through Love, Effort, Attitude and Discipline.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review from a Former Player

I had the privilege of having Coach Nelson for 3 years of high school football. This was such a great read because he strives to LEAD in every area of his life, whether people are watching him or not. The first day he came to my high school, he called anyone interested in playing football to one of the classrooms, and he shared the LEAD philosophy on the classroom smartboard. Now, he gets to share this all over the country! As I was reading the book, I heard his voice in my head the entire time, because he has been so consistent in teaching these things for the last 10 years I have known him. The LEAD philosophy is not just something that he does, but it's a part of who he is, and his life is evidence of that.

As a husband and a father now, it's not the drills that I most remember and appreciate from Coach Nelson, it's the principles for life that he taught me, and they are a part of what I do. I appreciate Coach Nelson and the example he sets for those the Lord gives him. I greatly benefitted from reading this book, and I know that you will too!

Thank you, Coach Nelson!

I purchased this book immediately when it was published and saved it to read on my vacation. The past 3 + months of my life would have been even better if I hadn’t waited!

Levi Nelson is a leader, and has provided readers with the tools to lead others, like he has done most of his life. A very impressive book!

I plan to use this book in role as an executive at a financial institution, and would encourage others to do the same. Leadership and coaching is key to all success.

Thank you Levi for this great read, manual, and lesson plan. You continue to impact all around you in a positive way!

Received my copy in the mail this evening. Thought I’d read just a few chapters in tonight, but I could not put it down. Finished it, cover to cover!

Coach Nelson’s passion has totally inspired me as a business leader! I will easily be able to implement his playbook and positively LEAD Team Members at my company. So much great information in this book that will help me reflect on how I can become a better business LEADer and make a positive impact on the people and communities that I get to work with.

I truly wish I had the opportunity to play on one of Coach Nelson’s teams. I have 3 family members who coach high school sports. I’ve already ordered a copy for each of them. I know that this book will inspire them as much as it has inspired me!

I have read many books about leadership and coaching. This definitely ranks with the best. It is a well written, easy to comprehend book. It also provides you a chance to write your thoughts in it as you are reading through it.

Should be a must read for all coaches-for that matter anyone in or looking to be in a leadership position. If you don come away inspired after reading this book-check to see if you have a pulse. Worth your time and money.

As a youth football coach, the LEAD model of coaching has never been more important. The insights in this book are legendary. When I talk to my players, I often think about what I have learned from this book before I speak. Another cool part, when I read this book, I can hear Coach Nelson’s voice in my head. If you ever have a chance to meet and listen to him in person. Take advantage of that opportunity.

I am not a sport coach, but I run a sports performance facility that allows me to coach athletes from various sports and schools in the area. At the conclusion of this book I held a staff meeting and we have already begun implementing some of the principles from the book, and we are working on adding many more. We want to help athletes reach their full potential in preparation for sport, and I believe we do a good job on the physical side of training. This book showed me how much more we could be doing to help athletes.
