ABOUT THIS BOOK
Motivated parents have many burning questions: Do my children have talent? What is their passion?
How much potential do they have? How can I help my children become champions? Can I keep
them motivated? How do I find the right coach? What exactly are the steps I need to take?
Finally, international celebrity coach Gabe Jaramillo reveals his secrets and provides an exact blueprint
for how successful parents must create an environment where that talent can thrive, taking advantage
of the small windows of trainability for each young athlete.
Based on his experience working with elite tennis players such as Andre Agassi and Monica Seles,
he describes various aspects of coaching. A must-read for any parent of athletic children, coaches
and athletes themselves.
