A teriffic book...

This is a terrific book which speaks to all the important issues faced by parents who want to help their kids within all the athletic programs available today. I was clueless when my kids started playing sports, and I learned a lot from Wolff's book. When I was young, Little League was nearly all you had to think about, and the decisions were easy.

Liked it

This book does give some keen insights into sports parenting, especially where it talks about travel teams and your child's chances for for a sports scholarship. If you are familiar with Rick Wolff's work (Coaching Kids for Dummies, or some of his magazine articles), this book also covers the some of the same topics. These include the PGA (post-game analysis), dealing with your child's coach, and avoiding pushing your kid too much.
