3D Coach

Jeff Duke, Chad Bonham

Description

With more than 60 million athletes involved in sports in America, it is estimated that one coach will impact more people in one year than the average person does in a lifetime. Today's coach could be one of the greatest authoritative figures in the life of today's adolescent. So the question isn't whether coaches leave a legacy, but rather, what will that legacy be?  Current trending research shows that only 15% of coaches are intentional about coaching beyond the skills and strategies of the game (1st Dimension). A 3-Dimensional Coach understands and harnesses the power of the coaching platform to coach the mind (2nd Dimension) and transform the heart (3rd Dimension). They can be the catalysts for internal transformation that guides both the coach and the athlete on a spiritual journey to finding purpose in our performance-based culture. Now that's a legacy!  In 3D Coach, National Coaches Training Director Jeff Duke shares his own journey through the three dimensions of coaching and how it has impacted his life and those around him. He also shares the personal stories of coaches from all levels who have implemented the 3D concept into their own programs and who have pointed to Jesus Christ, the Master Coach, as the ultimate example of how to lead athletes to true significance.

PRAISE FOR 3D COACH
3D Coach is an important resource for every coach in America. It doesn’t matter what level of sport you are coaching, buy it, study it and keep it beside your Bible as a supplement and guideline for coaching in a meaningful way. Jeff’s stories are profound, his honesty inspiring and his wisdom and teaching on point. I will be reading and rereading this inspirational book with the same passion I study game film! I believe it will help you truly win, as it gives you lots to think about and a clear vision of what 3D coaching is all about!
Jane Albright
Head Women’s Basketball Coach, University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Something happened to me when I read 3D Coach . My spirit was awakened. Jeff had me walking in his shoes as a coach, as an athlete and as a father. His stories caused me to look at the Bible in a different light. All of my coaching thoughts, questions and challenges now make sense. Jeff has given coaches a blueprint to become a better coach, father, husband and Christian. This book will be on my desk to inspire me and guide me daily. Thank you, Jeff.

3D coaching is not simply another philosophy of coaching. It is a paradigm shift in purpose that leads to the outcomes we all desire, but often fail to achieve. As a Division I wrestling coach, I can truly say that this shift has influenced our staff, our athletes and me in a dynamic way. This material is hands down the best I have ever seen for coaches who truly want to have an impact and to pursue excellence.

Head Wrestling Coach, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga
Having worked with Jeff for many years in coaching ministry I knew his heart and his teachings would be greatly beneficial to many.

FOREWORD
By Bobby Bowden
This is a story of a journey, one that every coach should take: a journey that should ultimately identify his own calling as a coach.
I was introduced to Jeff by a prominent booster who wanted me to meet a young high school coach from his hometown church. It was evident from this initial meeting that Jeff understood the dynamic influence a coach could have on the lives of athletes. From his earliest days as a graduate assistant coach, it became evident to me that he should serve as the FCA facilitator for our team. All of my coaches had an off-field responsibility, but this was the one whom I knew could have lifelong impact on our players. I did not take this assignment lightly. I wanted those I appointed to be committed to this endeavor. It was never a requirement for our players to attend the weekly FCA huddle, but I knew they would try it out if our coaching staff emphasized its importance. I so admired Jeff and his wife, Dana, in the way they engaged the players and made FCA an integral part of our program.
After a few years, Jeff left Florida State and became the first FCA field representative in North Florida and South Georgia. Our families have stayed close and in contact for over three decades. As I have witnessed Jeff on his journey, both in the victories and struggles, I have clearly seen him reach this unique position where he can now help coaches identify their purpose and their calling as they travel their own journeys.
Jeff is an excellent coach and has used his coaching expertise, life experiences and academic prowess to help other coaches identify and develop all three dimensions of what it takes to become a great coach in the twenty-first century! 3D Coach is a must-read for all coaches of any sport at any level.
FOREWORD
By Tommy Bowden
Jeff and I were introduced in the summer of 1978 as graduate assistant coaches for Florida State University. From the first time we met while cutting film in a small, graduate assistant coach’s office, we have become lifetime friends. His wife, Dana, and my wife, Linda, have stayed in close contact ever since. Our careers diverted after a few years at Florida State but our friendship has grown ever deeper. Through the births of our children, marriages, career changes and even the deaths of extended family members, we have encouraged and uplifted each other.
Whenever we get together, conversation always evolves into the ever-increasing role of the coach in our culture today. Jeff and I have the same philosophy—that coaching creates a legacy for all those influenced by a coach. The question begs a response: What type of legacy are we talking about here? It has been so enjoyable to see Jeff develop this into strategy for coaches to use today. The 3Dimensional Coaching principles will help them cultivate all areas of the athlete’s life: body, soul and spirit.
My dad and I have always understood and implemented this concept, but now it can be identified and engaged by all coaches. It is the fulfillment of understanding and living out your purpose beyond the game. It will give stability and contentment in the ups and downs of the coaching profession. 3D Coach is Jeff’s story. But as you are reading it, you will begin to contemplate your story . . . your influence . . . your legacy.
PURPOSE STATEMENT
The role of the coach has obtained idolized proportions in our society today. Sports, in the American culture, have become an icon of popularity from the very young to the elderly. Up to 50 million adolescents will have participated on an athletic team before entering their adult years. In fact, we now spend more time watching, reading or actively being involved in sport activities than any of life’s other discretional domains. Because of this cultural focus, the coach has become the point person for this societal phenomenon. In fact, research reflects the coach as one of the most influential persons in American life. The coach now takes on the role of an authority figure for much of the traditional American ethos (i.e., commitment to goals, team-first attitudes, excellence of cause, life attributions, etc.). For many reasons, these value systems are being lost or de-emphasized in the home environment. It is with this premise that we, as sport coaching educators, are making a concerted effort to come alongside the coaches’ fraternity to help encourage, educate and produce the next generation of coaches to meet the demand of our sport culture in this changing sport landscape.
The need for higher education to provide a quality program and also direction for coaches, sport administrators, athletes and the public regarding the necessary skills, knowledge and research is now of utmost importance. This needed educational expansion, from a sub-discipline to a discipline, will allow improved standards related to the care, health, performance and safety of athletes. Because coaches are teachers, their influence with athletes in many ways has attribution effects in many facets of life. Coaches today must have resources to improve knowledge and skills to meet changing expectations on and off the field.
Over 100 sports organizations have agreed that a core body of knowledge to develop scientific and practical competencies is now identified. This body has been outlined and identifie
