His new book is 30 Days with America’s High School Coaches.

The podcast “Time Out for Better Coaching” is an outgrowth of his book. It shines a light on great coaching and those who have information coaches need and want to do their jobs better.

When he’s not writing, you can usually find Martin on the football practice fields at Riverbend High School, where he coaches Special Teams.

Every day, in thousands of ways, high school coaches are working to shape the characters of the millions of young men and women they work with. Who are these people, and how do they do the work they do?

Martin Davis’ book explores the lives of 30 successful high school coaches across the nation in a dozen varsity sports. Through their stories, you’ll discover the ways they relate to players, build successful programs, strengthen community relationships, approach their craft, and grow as leaders. This book provides the unique opportunity to learn from the people we all admire, but rarely get to know beyond what we see on the sidelines of the fields, gyms, and courts of our local high schools.
