More About the Book

Most coaches know that an extraordinary culture is the secret to an extraordinary team, but how do you create a strong team culture when the culture itself is so complex and always evolving? The good news is the process of creating a culture can be simple and almost effortless when you take a systematic approach. 

In The Culture System, sports coach and leadership consultant J.P. Nerbun shares his proven process that will help you find joy and fulfillment as a coach, while getting the results you desire. 

Extraordinary team cultures don’t come together by chance. They are intentionally created by leaders, using a system of strategies to establish, support, and enforce the culture. Few people know this secret; most extraordinary teams in the world all use similar tools and methods to create their culture. 

In The Culture System, you’ll read the stories of some of the most successful leaders in sports, such as John Wooden, Greg Popovich, and Theo Epstein, as well as others, like Dave Brandt and Greg Tonagel, whose success has been secret until now. You’ll also discover how these leaders use the same strategies as some of the most successful leaders and organizations in the world, like Toyota Motor Corporation, Southwest Airlines, and Navy Ship Captain Mike Abrashoff. 

The Culture System will teach you to:

  • Develop your leadership philosophy and stay grounded, while always growing and evolving

  • Grow and strengthen your relationships with your team members

  • Empower your team to help you establish, support, and enforce high standards

  • Create a customized Culture System for your team and implement it layer by layer 

The Culture System is supported by the latest research in motivation, behavioral psychology, and neuroscience, and it is full of practical strategies and real-life examples to give you the power to create an extraordinary culture—regardless of your sport, level, or circumstances!

This is the book on culture that's been needed but missing from coaching literature, until now.
