Endorsements from the book
"In her book, I Support YOUth!, Lindgren has highlighted key aspects for youth coaches to consider when coaching this population. Her Supportive Youth Coaching Model provides reflective guidance to both youth coaches as well as youth-serving organizations. A must read!" -Marshall Goldsmith Multi-million-Selling Author and Editor of 39 books, including Triggers and What Got You Here Won't Get You There.
"Young people face many challenges, not least school, peers, and hormones. Coaching is an excellent tool for helping young people develop a stronger understanding of themselves so that they can explore the consequences of alternative courses of action, helping them develop greater personal responsibility. Sandi's book is an excellent resource for those working with young people and who want to move from a directive to a facilitative style of communication and through that help young people become the best they can be." -Professor Jonathan Passmore, University of Evora, Portugal
"I Support YOUth! is a must-read for all youth coaches. Sandi Lindgren's Supportive Youth Coaching Model breaks down the significant areas of training required to understand and effectively provide coaching that meets the needs and the varying emotional maturity levels of youth clients. As a coach trainer and passionate advocate for ethical standards in youth coaching, I appreciate the in-depth discussion on proper coach education and adherence to rigorous ethical guidelines for all youth coaches." -Jodi Sleeper-Triplett, MCC, BCC Founder and CEO, JST Coaching and Training and author of Empowering Youth with ADHD.
"I would highly recommend this to any coach who is interested in working with youths. It can also serve to open the eyes of schools and other organizations that serve youth on how impactful coaching youths can be and how it relates to other supports for youth, such as counseling."

“I recently read Sandi Lindgren’s book and it was the resource I have been looking for as a Life Coach to be able to provide my clients with more precise guidance and tips for fostering healthy and productive conversations with young adults and their parents. It also taught me a lot about when to accept a client and when to refer to another professional. Also I am a mother of teenagers and the wisdom provided on the book is priceless from a parent perspective as well. Invaluable resource all around!”
