In STILL COACH: From the Locker Room to the Boardroom, Dr. Andre Emmons proves that leadership doesn't retire when the whistle stops blowing. Drawing from his journey as a Texas high school coach who transitioned into educational leadership, he reveals how the same skills that build championship teams can transform organizations, lead communities, and create lasting impact.
If you've ever felt called to lead beyond the sidelines, this book is for you.
INSIDE, YOU'LL DISCOVER
- Why the leadership you developed as a coach is more valuable than you think—and how to recognize skills you already possess
- How to navigate the identity crisis that comes with career transitions without losing who you are
- The core principles that work in every arena: relationships, culture, vision, adaptability, and legacy
- Why "how you do one thing is how you do everything"
- How to build cultures of excellence whether you're leading a team of 20 or an organization of 2,000
- The difference between raising leaders and collecting followers—and why it matters for your legacy
- What it looks like to lead in the "game after the game"—staying relevant long after your title changes
THIS BOOK IS FOR:
✓ Coaches considering a move into educational administration or organizational leadership

✓ Anyone navigating a major career transition
✓ Leaders who want to multiply their impact beyond their current role
✓ Former athletes applying competitive principles to business success
HERE'S THE TRUTH:
You're not "just a coach." You're a leader who happens to have started in athletics.
The discipline, vision, relationship-building, and accountability you've mastered on the sidelines? Those aren't coaching skills. Those are leadership skills. And they translate to every arena.
Your calling doesn't retire when your title changes. Your influence doesn't end when the whistle stops. You're still Coach—even when the whistle comes off, even when the arena shifts, even when everything changes. Because coaching was never about the game. It was always about the people.
