Book Description

May 1, 1999
Guides adults through the process of coaching a youth baseball team from getting organized through playing the games. It has plenty of baseball techniques, but different from other books that just have the x's and o's, this book steps you through motivating players, handling parents, dealing with sponsors, team organization, holding a practice, setting discipline, getting respect and much more of the intangibles no one teaches you. Great guide for parents as well as coaches.

For players from T-Ball through high school. Even the college level coach and parent will benefit from this book!


Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book is for coaches who guide young people at all levels, from T-Ball through High School and beyond. This book embodies the direction and principles that I learned along the way to my dream of playing in the major leagues. I hope that this book can prepare coaches and parents to better understand how to guide young people. Sure, its a book about baseball, but it is also a book about being a good adult role model while using baseball as your tool. No other book can help you through preparing a team better than this one. Enjoy and learn from this reading. Parents and Coaches, it will make your life easier." -- Frank Thomas of the Chicago White Sox Professional Baseball Team --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
