An informational guide for anyone with children in sports

An amazing book for anyone interested in sports. Written by someone who has dealt with children's sports injuries extensively, the book provides detailed information on who should play sports, when, and how. Anyone with children should read this book, as it gives comprehensive information on not only sports, but overall health fitness. A unique book that discusses the side of sports sometimes ignored, from how a coach runs the team, to stress, and Psychological problems, and all the way through nutrition, and sports for the handicapped child. An easy to read, and understand book that all people (especially coaches) should take the time to read.
