About this ebook

After over two decades of coaching youth sports, Jason is sharing some of the secrets of success. This book will take you from pre-season to post-season, helping you survive and enjoy your volunteer time. Focusing on the reason we are volunteering, our kids, you'll walk into practices and games with more confidence that you are bringing value to their time. Although this is geared toward parents who are fairly new to coaching (or new to coaching flag football) it is also relevant to coaches that were assistants but never head coaches and any coach that may have struggled coaching flag football in the past. There are drills to run during practices and a methodology for easily communicating plays to the kids. That methodology applies to the 5 on 5 that most leagues run, but can expand to other leagues as necessary. It's also flexible enough to take advantage of the flag football plays you can find with a simple Internet search. Jason also focuses on teaching defensive skills like flag pulling techniques and "staying home".


We know that you want confidence in your coaching while making sure your child and their teammates are both having fun and improving. The focus of this book is to make sure both you and those players are covered.


Expect answers to the following questions:

What do I need to focus on in practice?

What drills can I run to keep players engaged, active, and improving?

How do I teach the players the plays and have them run them during the games?

How do I take the millions of plays that are on the Internet and adapt them ?

How do I teach my players how to defend? Effectively?

What should I be doing before the games, after the games?

What should I be saying to the parents?

What happens after the last game?

About the author

Raised on a healthy diet of science fiction, fantasy, and Greek mythology, Jason’s youth was spent among the stars, on other planets, and in ancient Greece. 


Well, technically his youth was spent in Louisiana, Atlanta, and Tennessee. His mind was all over the place though.


His desire to become a writer started in elementary school and pushed him to an English and Education double major from Vanderbilt (with an accidental minor in classical languages). The masters he got from Vanderbilt focusing on English education was to make sure he could make money while writing.


Then he started working…


As a High School English teacher and a high school soccer coach (a state championship coach to be exact), he found little time for writing.


Then he found the love of his life...


Teaching wasn’t enough any longer and so Jason focused on his love for computers and computer science. Books became a little more technical for awhile and coaching became a little more youth oriented. Whatever sport his stepson and son enjoyed was the sport Jason coached.


A career change later and we find Jason finally able to write his first book, “Coaching Flag Football: What to expect as a parent volunteer and how to succeed” That book was followed by two other books that had subtitles far shorter than the initial, “The Reading Bible (Annotated)”, and “Modern Bible Companion: A guide to the New Testament”. 


Jason’s first book was drawn from his experience as a coach. His next two were from his koine Greek studies at University (accidental minor in classical languages, remember) and his desire to help people read the Bible on their own with a little historical context to help better understand it.


He’s published his first fiction novel, Serenity War, the first in the Noble Book series. It’s a coming of age book set on a foreign world where human settlers have created a civilization all their own. He’d love for your interaction at his Goodreads and Facebook pages.


Of note, Jason has written his books so far with his Dachshund by his side. There is no indication that Buster has been the one actually writing the books… At least not yet.
