NEW YORK—June 22, 2021—Morgan James’ new release, Dear Coach: What I Wish I Could Have Told You by Sara Erdner, details the personal experiences of athletes and the things they wish they could have told their coaches but never did, and seeks to create higher-quality coach-athlete relationships.

Sharing confidential letters written by athletes who answered the question, “What do you wish you could have told your coach, but for whatever reason, never did?” Dear Coach, provides coaches with a direct look into athletes’ wants and needs.

Dear Coach helps coaches tap into a deeper level of connection with athletes, leading to higher levels of performance, and discusses the sticky subjects of cultural differences and how to create a more inclusive environment. Offering an innovative approach that disputes traditional, often labeled “old-school,” coaching styles, Dear Coach is a novel way to develop coaching philosophies that enhance athlete well-being and performance.
