Over the past decade, the stakes in youth sports have reached
startling heights; the pressure to win often eclipses the desire to
have fun. Sports injuries have increased tenfold; aggression on and
off the field—between kids, parents, and
coaches—is at a fever pitch; and drug and alcohol use
among young athletes is on the rise. While there are plenty of
books that help the best-intentioned parent, most of them are
written by men, for men. They do not address concerns specific to
mothers, nor empower them to confidently step onto the
out-of-control playground to assume whatever role they
choose—spectator, advocate, administrator, coach,
fund-raiser, or team mom.
Home Team Advantage is an essential resource manual that will
inspire women to confidently tackle some of the issues preventing
their kids from enjoying sports. Brooke de Lench authoritatively
covers issues ranging from ensuring playing time and confronting
out-of-control coaches to countering the "winning at all costs"
mentality. Packed with real-life anecdotes and information from
experts, Home Team Advantage provides constructive, practical, and
forward-thinking advice to help mothers understand the critical
role they can play in putting the words fun, game, and play back
into youth sports.
