|  A Parent's Guide
to Baseball
Surviving and Thriving Youth
League to College
This book is a basic guide to take you from the beginning,
through
little league to high school, college recruiting and scholarships,
to pro tryout camps.
The interest begins when your child, at about age four,
first knocks the plastic ball over the backyard fence
with one of those oversized plastic bats. Your eyes light
up and the dream begins.
Why play baseball? Because it's fun, of course. But,
there are any number of things a kid can do to have fun.
Heck, that's all kids do is have fun. Skating, riding
bikes, playing chase, hide and seek, video games …
they're all fun! So, why baseball? Because parent and
child can share the experience.
But more than even bonding, the game is an excellent
experience for learning lessons in life that will enable
your child to grow into a more successful adult.

|  How
To COACH WINNING
SOCCER
For the Mom or Dad who is suddenly "Coach".
The book was written mainly for the Mom or Dad who suddenly
finds herself or himself coaching a son or daughter's
team. It provides a sound proven way to coach winning
soccer and have fun while doing it.
It is always easier to walk away a winner than a loser
and the children you are coaching will be a lot happier
to leave the field after having won than lost. But, just
remember the primary reason you are coaching is not to
win but to give the children a chance to learn to play
the game well and have a good time doing it.
Read this book, understand it, and utilize it to develop
an approach to the teaching of soccer which will enable
you to convey the concept of team play.
