Letter from AFM - Everything You Need to Know Off the Field

Everything You Need to Know Off the Field

Bill Redell and Mike Maio are two retired near legendary coaches from Oaks Christian High School in Westlake Village, California. Redell had an overall 238-70 record as a high school head coach and Maio, an assistant football coach and head baseball coach at the school, was named the Los Angeles Times Baseball Coach of the year four times. The two have now combined to put together a comprehensive e-book entitled, ‘Coaches Culture: Everything You Need to Know Off the Field.’ A 97 page e-book, Redell and Maio have included just about everything a coach needs to know on all off the field issues of the playing field. Some of the chapters include:

• What you need to know if you really want to be a coach
• Dealing with parents
• Dealing with the media
• Building a team and teamwork
• Hiring assistant coaches
• Building a new program
• Off-season motivation

• Forming a booster club
• College recruiting

This digital issue of AFM includes the chapter on ‘Dealing with the Media.’

The complete e-book is available at americanfootballmonthly.com. It is also full of personal anecdotes from both coaches and their combined 55 years of experience. It’s the perfect off- thefield guide for coaches at all levels. Now the only thing they have to worry about are X’s and O’s.
