The Discipline Coach

"Jim is an inspiration to all that he comes into contact with. I have witnessed him apply many of the concepts he writes about and seen the impact these words have on young people ... Jim really is a legend."Nicola Murphy, Primary School Teacher It's not what you do to young people, but what they do for themselves! With all the talk these days about discipline and young people, this game-changing book from Jim Roberson comes at things from a totally different angle. Discipline for Jim is not something you do to others or even something you do to yourself. It is something you do for yourself. His practical yet powerful philosophy is drawn from many years working with young people in the UK both in and out of school, as well as from his own powerful story: growing up in New York, becoming a successful American football player and getting himself a college education against the odds. The Discipline Coach is a book that is as powerful as it is inspiring. It will transform the way you approach even the most challenging of young people to help them succeed. "The book should be used by social workers, counselors, teachers and others that are concerned about changing the negative attitudes of adolescents and giving them a positive way of thinking for the future."Lula Linder, MSW, LSW, Founder and Executive Director, Ad House Inc "Jim provides a sensible and non-traditional approach to helping young people understand what they need to know for achieving in life ... Jim's method of managing discipline has given me a new approach to reaching my student athletes, to achieve team and individual goals on and off the field."Calvin Whitfield, Head Coach Varsity Football, Jamaica High School, Queens, NY "If you are a teacher and want to see a difference in your learners, read this book. Coach Roberson writes with laser-like accuracy, getting straight to the point of what it takes to inspire young people to reach their potential. ... There are pearls of wisdom in this book for teachers, coaches and even parents, all presented in an easy to read, easy to understand and truly enjoyable book."Charles M. Henderson, MD, Henderson, Harper & Associates, ELeadership Training & Executive Coaching "I have had plaudits from both young people and parents as to the difference Jim has made to their perception of themselves and what they can strive to achieve in their futures."Jeff Ballard, Youth Justice Worker Jim Roberson is an independent education consultant and works with parents, teachers and students.
