Teaching Bullies

Teaching Bullies

In 2015, Teaching Bullies went to number one on Amazon in the sport psychology category. Bullying expert and author, Barbara Coloroso said the “focus on coaches and teachers was an important contribution to the field" and former pro-football player and “most important coach in America” Joe Ehrmann said it was a "must read.”

Teaching Bullies has as its mission to show that we are trapped in an outdated and destructive model. We’re wired to think bullying and abuse are a necessary evil for greatness and it’s a lie. Trying to expose this lie at the heart of our society has been an uphill battle, but I believe it’s worth it.

The book dares to shift the comfortable conversation around bullying being a childhood issue and looks at it as an adult crisis whereby those in powerful positions of trust – leaders, managers, parents, teachers, and coaches – may role-model bullying and use it as method to command and control falsely believing it gets results. Extensive, peer-reviewed, replicated brain research tells us that bullying doesn’t get results. It just does physical damage to brain architecture and function. We published this book under our own imprint Motion Press Holdings I was in such a rush to get the research out into the world.
