The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,
By Roger C Boyington (Cape Elizabeth, Maine United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: John T. Reed's Youth Baseball Coaching (Paperback)
This is a very helpful book and I will be a better coach for reading it. The most valuable points concern the limited time for practice and what to focus on. There are many interesting concepts in the book that are full explained. However, the book was tarnished on several accounts. It was filled with details of Mr Reed's dubious adult baseball career that I really didn't need. His constant negativity and bitterness towards the players, fellow coaches, league administration, volunteer umpires,etc.... got to be too much by the end. All of this complaining done while reminding the reader it is for the kids. I ended up questioning why Mr. Reed spent so much of his time doing something that caused him so much unhappiness. Read this book it is worth it. But, be very careful of adopting the attitudes and feelings conveyed in it.

A must for all beginning Youth Coaches,
By Robert Oliver (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: John T. Reed's Youth Baseball Coaching (Paperback)
Book lays out very complete and thorough plan to put a successful baseball team together. With "Time" always against the coach, Mr. Reed shows how to use practice time to teach what you need to know for game situations. Lot's of good little tricks also included for plays against the opponent. I recommend this book highly as a coach in the Minor League level myself.

Youth Baseball Coaching,
By Hugh Dearden (Salt Lake City, UT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: John T. Reed's Youth Baseball Coaching (Paperback)
Page for page this is by far the best baseball coaching book I have ever read. Having just completed coaching 7-8 year olds and coaching them in an incompetent way, I can't wait until next season to implement the "Youth Baseball Coaching" system in practices and games. Every youth baseball coach and parent should read this book.
