Product reviews for The Discipline Coach

Jim Roberson is clearly a larger than life character who makes a huge and inspiring impression on all he meets... How do I know this? From reading this book! It too is inspiring and makes a huge impression.

I loved the bold black and white images that support the short and snappy statements - together the images and words make such a dramatic impact and certainly helped this aged and forgetful teacher remember the key messages with ease. As a lead within the now defunct Playing for Success Programme across the UK (a study support initiative working in partnership with schools and prestigious sports clubs) I have long recognised the power that sporting metaphors can have on transforming the aspirations of vulnerable pupils. Within this book those metaphors are skilfully transferred into mainstream / everyday situations.

Not only is the guidance offered to support those developing an ethos of self-discipline and engagement for young people bold and memorable, but it is also grounded in common sense and simple progressive steps. I would have no hesitation in recommending this as a key resource in any staff library.
