A Waldorf Approach to Coaching Team Sports deals passionately with human striving for
excellence carried in a noble spirit. Dean Stark speaks of the great importance in the
teen years of having positive role models and of being challenged to develop commitment
to high ideals. 

The first edition of this book—Coaching Team Sports in a Waldorf School—met with
enthusiastic response and requests for more information, which is provided in this revised
and expanded edition. Parents and teachers, as well as coaches, will find a wealth of practical
information and an antidote to the cynicism of today.

"Sport has taken on a life of its own. Dean Stark's book is the story of one coach's journey
to breathe the person back into the game. This person-centered approach is vital-or you're
just making sport of somebody." —Jaimen McMillan, Director of the Spacial Dynamics Institute
