Customer Reviews

Best insight to coaching I've ever read!

This book has helped me as a parent and a coach. It is a useful tool for up and coming softball player, ages 12 and up. I gave it to my 13 year old and she really understands now, the why's of what we expect as coaches. She is more motivated and driven, less attitude on the field and more leadership. I recommend this to anyone who has a child that plays fast pitch softball and for their child. ALL coached should read this book just before their season starts and again half-way through, when things get tough or parent issues arise. Enjoy!

Smitty knows all.

Dick gives a different view of coaching softball. Always enjoy some of Dick's wisdom.

A world of softball knowledge

You'd have to go to hundreds of clinics to get the information and ideas nicely encapsulated in this little book. Easy and enjoyable reading. Called "fundamentals" of fastpitch - the ideas are both fundamental and advanced. Highly recommended for beginning as well as advanced coaches, players, parents.
