Every year, thousands of people volunteer their time and experience
to become youth coaches. "Play Fair and Win" not only teaches the
basic drills needed to run a successful team, but also demonstrates
to prospective coaches how they can form a winning team while
remaining true to the principles that made baseball America's
favorite pastime.
Drawing on his experience in coaching baseball and soccer at
various levels, author John Hourihan provides valuable advice in
every chapter, on topics such as:
- Molding your team (from before tryouts through setting up your
defense)
- Teaching the basics
- Putting your team in a position to win
- Dos and don'ts
Unfortunately, most novice youth baseball coaches settle into
what they thought was going on when they were ten years old--the
games where everyone got gum in the beginning and ice cream at the
end. Today, there is a lot more to baseball that is being left out.
If you're a youth league coach, to many players you are the game.
It is your job to love the game, teach the basics, and remember
that the players aren't part of the equipment. "Play Fair and Win"
will help you to develop a successful strategy and accomplish that
goal.
