The Baffled Parent's Guide to Great Baseball Drills
By (author) James Garland
| book description |
An in-depth tool for instructing youngsters to improve their fundamental skills in the great game of baseball. - Bill Hunter, manager, Texas Rangers, former shortstop, New York Yankees. A must-read for inexperienced and experienced coaches. As a former professional player, my toughest job when I started coaching Little League was transferring my knowledge to the kids so they could develop their skills and a love for the game. This book allows coaches to do just that. - Gene Hiser, Chicago Cubs, 1970-76. Did we say drills? Sorry, we meant games. That's right. Games your young players will love. Games that teach them more effectively than the tedious drills you endured as a kid. Great Baseball Drills includes 125 step-by-step illustrated games that will keep your players moving, motivated, and most of all, having fun. The basic skills of throwing, fielding, hitting, and pitching are covered in a way that enhances team communication and decision-making skills. Other games focus on bunting, baserunning, fielding by position, and practice games. You'll even learn a thing or two about coaching style, and how to make improvement the goal of your season rather than winning or losing. You can: use Garland's Ten Commandments of Practices to improve your players and team; find answers to common problems in the Q&A sections; pinpoint weaknesses using the Troubleshooting Chart; create a positive attitude, team spirit, and good parental communications; make practices fun and rewarding; and match drills to age and ability. Coach Garland has done a great job designing a way for kids to learn basic skills while having fun. - Mike Edge, clinician, Motion Concepts Sports Camps.
