The Whiteboard Daily Book of Cues: A Visual Guide to Efficient Movement for Coaches, Trainers, and Athletes

There is no such thing as a "golden cue" that works for everyone 100% of the time. Therefore, the more cues a coach has in their toolbox, the more likely they will be able to effectively communicate with their athletes.

Coaches use cues--short, easy-to-remember phrases--to help athletes perform movements correctly as well as to convey useful sports psychology perspectives. Athletes commonly hear movement cues like "Crush the Can" and "Grip the Ground" along with motivational cues like "Consistency is King." A passionate coach, lifelong athlete, and advanced degree holder in kinesiology, Karl Eagleman, creator of the popular Whiteboard Daily Instagram, has put together a valuable resource for coaches, athletes, and anyone who wants to improve their own movement.

The Whiteboard Daily Book of Cues contains a comprehensive collection of illustrations drawn on a whiteboard--a medium that virtually all coaches are familiar with. It boasts the largest list of cues ever compiled, covering Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, gymnastics, kettlebell exercises, and monostructural movements (running, rowing, jumping rope, etc.). Each illustration is hand drawn in a simple, stylized way to make the cues easy to retain and to utilize during training.

No two athletes are the same; we all learn in our own unique ways. By providing hundreds of cues, this book will help coaches and athletes learn a new way to understand movement for themselves and/or to communicate safe, effective movement to others.
