ラグビーというより コーチのエディージョーンズを読んでほしい
子供の読んでほしい本と書いたより、先に読んだ本がこの1冊
「コーチングとは信じること」
この中で面白かったことがいっぱいあるが
1.日本人は体格を理由に勝てないと言い訳するが、オーストラリア人も、ニュージーランドや南アの人を見て体格的には負けていると思っている。
でも、それを超える豊富な練習量と戦略で補っている。
２．タイトルにあるように
信じることのむつかしさ。
最後は自分の指示も無視されて、でも、選手を信じて、成功を得た。
選手はコーチの言葉を信じて４年間やってきたので、コーチの最後の指示を無視して、最後に最高の栄誉を得た。
もう一冊
「エディー・ウォーズ」
信念をもって高い目標を目指しても、指導するコーチそれを受ける選手たちお互いは常に葛藤し、苦しみながらぶつかりながら、高みを目指したこと
この２冊は、社旗人、管理職の人に是非読んでほしい。
さらに次にもう一冊続きます。
Rather than rugby, I’d like you to read about coach Eddie Jones.
Before I wrote about the books I’d like my children to read, this was the first book I read myself.
‘Coaching Is About Believing’
There were plenty of interesting points in this book, but:
- Whilst the Japanese tend to use their physique as an excuse for not winning, Australians also believe they are at a physical disadvantage when compared to players from New Zealand or South Africa.
However, they make up for this with an immense volume of training and strategic planning. - As the title suggests,
the difficulty of believing.
In the end, even though his own instructions were ignored, he believed in his players and achieved success.
The players had spent four years trusting their coach’s words, so they disregarded his final instructions and ultimately secured the highest honour.
One more book
‘Eddie Wars’
It tells the story of how, even when striving for lofty goals with conviction, the coach and the players he leads are constantly at odds with one another; yet, whilst suffering and clashing, they strove for greatness.
I strongly recommend these two books to company executives and managers.
There’s another book to follow next.
