Good perspective, Goals and Overachieving. Tom Hull.,
By
This review is from: Youth Sports: Perspectives for a New Century (Paperback)
This book contains a good set of guidelines and perspectives for the parents and coaches of youth sports. Athletics is very important to many kids and parents. Keeping a perspective for many families is the key to succss and happiness. Good examples in the book.For more conditioned focus on a particular sport, seek another avenue. Nice job on the subject. Tom Hull New York Binghamton Director of Athletics Youth Sports Commissioner - Basketball, Softball, Training
