The Ballgame of Life: Lessons for Parents and Coaches of Young Baseball Players

Baseball can help young players learn these lessons, but only if the coaches and parents stay focused on them. This book address the two main problems for coaches and parents: They are often unprepared or undertrained to teach the lessons baseball has to offer, and they often are trying to live vicariously through the children (which the absolute last thing the kids need).
