How to Help Children Find the Champion Within Themselves

"How to Help Children Find the Champion Within Themselves" is an innovative, accessible and groundbreaking guide that will change the way adults communicate with children forever. David Hemery believes that within every young person there is a spark of greatness and a unique individual keen to fulfil his or her potential.

Every adult is a guardian of that flame of talent. Using everyday scenarios and cartoons he introduces effective questioning and attentive listening - powerful and positive communication tools that deliver extraordinary results. Every parent, teacher and coach will recognise common pitfalls that are described with astute comment and humour.

Hemery shows how easy it is to transform conflict into communication, to encourage young people to take responsibility for their actions, develop their self-esteem and reach their true potential. David Hemery won an Olympic gold medal in the 400 metre hurdles in 1968. He works as a coach, teacher and performance consultant.

He is also on the Executive of the British Olympic Association.
