Book club kits.

1. Chapter OneWhen an institution fails in one place, look at the place. When it fails in a dozen, look at the institution. Which problems in your sport keep getting blamed on local causes?
2. Chapter TwoThe book names three things every pyramid needs: a surplus to take, a weapon a few people hold, and a cage. Where do you see a parent's hope, the power of selection, and the walls around leaving in your own program?
3. Chapter TwoLast season, how many of your athletes moved to another team inside your organization, and how many left the sport entirely? What does the gap between those two numbers tell you?
4. Chapter ThreeThink of the best team you were ever on. Was the coaching autonomy supportive or controlling? What did that coach actually do on a Tuesday night?
5. Chapter FourYour certification proves you attended the modules. What would prove what happens in your gym, and who would you want to see it?
6. Chapter FiveFor every dollar a family pays your club, how many cents reach programming their own child touches? Could your board answer that this month?
7. Chapter SevenCount each athlete's weekly hours in organized sport against their age in years. How many of your players are over that line, and whose schedule put them there?
8. Chapter EightCoaches say leave it at the door. What does a sixteen year old hear when an adult he respects says it, in a place where he is being ranked?
9. Chapter FourteenWould your club sign this: you may leave at any time, for any reason, without our permission? What would you have to change before you could?
10. EpilogueStand at the gym door twenty minutes before your next practice and do not go in. What are the kids doing that your practice plan does not?

1. The Myth of the Confident LeaderCertainty feels like leadership and often produces silence. When did your certainty end a conversation that needed to keep going?
2. The Feedback Loop of TrustThink of something a player or staff member raised that went nowhere. What would it take to tell them what happened next, even if the answer was nothing?
3. Read the Room, LiterallyArrive four minutes early to your next practice or meeting. Say nothing. Watch. What did you see that you usually miss?
4. Culture Under LoadWhat happened to the last person on your team who spoke up? Would anyone else do it again?
5. Belonging Is Not the EnemyNobody disagreed? That was not a decision. When did your group agree too fast, and what did it cost?
6. The Quiet OnesAsk one quiet person a specific question, then ask again. Why does the second ask get a different answer than the first?
7. You Cannot Lead a Room You Slept ThroughCheck what time you made your last three regrets. What does that tell you about rest?
8. Shame, Ego and the Blind SpotAdmitting error feels like losing face, yet it builds authority. When did a coach or a boss admit a mistake to you, and what did it do to your respect for them?
9. What They RememberWrite down the small thing your best leader did. Why did that, and not the big speech, stay with you?
