There is no such thing as a “golden cue” that works for everyone 100% of the time. Therefore, the more cues a coach has in their toolbox, the more likely they will be able to effectively communicate with their athletes. Coaches use cues—short, easy-to-remember phrases—to help athletes perform movements correctly as well as to convey useful sports psychology perspectives. Athletes commonly hear movement cues like “Crush the Can” and “Grip the Ground” along with motivational cues like “Consistency is King.” A passionate coach, lifelong athlete, and advanced degree holder in kinesiology, Karl Eagleman, creator of the popular Whiteboard Daily Instagram, has put together a valuable resource for coaches, athletes, and anyone who wants to improve their own movement. The Whiteboard Daily Book of Cues contains a comprehensive collection of illustrations drawn on a whiteboard—a medium that virtually all coaches are familiar with. It boasts the largest list of cues ever compiled, covering Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, gymnastics, kettlebell exercises, and monostructural movements (running, rowing, jumping rope, etc.). Each illustration is hand drawn in a simple, stylized way to make the cues easy to retain and to utilize during training. No two athletes are the same; we all learn in our own unique ways. By providing hundreds of cues, this book will help coaches and athletes learn a new way to understand movement for themselves and/or to communicate safe, effective movement to others.

Karl Eagleman brings his whiteboard into your home, showing that movement cues are not just for elite coaches and athletes. With more than 350 new cues, this book will help anyone at any age or activity level to create a more seamless mind-body connection to move better, exercise better, and live better! Karl Eagleman, bestselling author and revered coach, delivers a new set of visually stunning movement cues that are tailored to everyone. The coaching world has been using cues to help teams and individual athletes find success. Now weekend warriors, casual fitness enthusiasts, budding and mature athletes, and those simply looking to move better can reap the benefits of Eagleman’s proven approach. Eagleman distills complex movements into simple, actionable cues that can be easily integrated into a daily routine. The book is broken down by easy-to-follow common movement patterns such as pull-ups, squats, presses, hinges, and deadlifts. With each cue, you will learn the proper posture and technique allowing you to build upon each movement to create a tailored approach to your routine. These specific pattens are designed to help you increase mobility and gain strength at a pace that works for you, regardless of age, athletic ability, or physical limitations. With Eagleman's unique blend of practical applications and motivational insights, this book serves as a companion for anyone seeking to begin, enhance, or change up their fitness path.

Readers will have exclusive access to Eagleman’s online resources and complementary videos to help guide them through each cue, along with stories, anecdotes, and best practices for getting started and reaching their goals. Embark on a new journey to better health and fitness and unlock your full potential—one cue at a time!

Try to recall the best coach you’ve ever had. Consider what differentiated them from other coaches; what made them so effective? Was it their knowledge and programming, or did it come down to the way they communicated with you and the way they made you feel? While the former are critical, it is a coach’s words that set them apart from the rest. The Language of Coaching focuses on the impact that communication has on an individual’s ability to learn and perform a movement. Written by performance coach Nick Winkelman, the book examines how instruction, feedback, and cueing can significantly affect training outcomes. Grounded in motor learning and the science of attentional focus, Winkelman takes you on a journey, guiding you through practical coaching frameworks that will help you adapt your language to the learning needs of those you support. Packed with stunning visuals, the book provides over 25 movement sequences that outline different types of coaching cues, including a visual depiction of unique analogies, such as a sprinter taking off like a jet or an athlete loading into a jump like a spring. The book is filled with a comprehensive collection of cueing frameworks that guide you through the process of creating your own cues for any movement you want to teach. You will also learn how to engage in more productive conversation with your athletes through sample dialogue that uses the book’s cueing philosophy. Whether you are new to coaching or a seasoned veteran, The Language of Coaching will help you grow as a communicator and learn how to coach the person with the same precision as you do the program.

It may be purchased separately or as part of a package that includes both the book and exam.
