The Sandlot Strategy
The Sandlot Strategy is a manual designed specifically to help anyone coach children in baseball. It is a very practical book designed to encourage and equip parents and coaches for tackling the challenges of little league.
As a sandlot coach, you have to do two things:
1) Manage the game and all that it entails. There is a lot of psychology that goes on in managing the game and making sure that everyone gets "home" safely.
2) Teach the game. There is a lot to teach. Everyone demands everything. They want you to know everything and to be able to teach it.
This is a manual that will help you do both.
Combined with Bill's 25 years of coaching children and expert assistance from professionals including George Brett, Kevin Seitzer, Ned Yost, Mike MacFarlane, Brent Kenmitz, Brian Holman, Frank White, Bobby Randall, Les Norman, Joe Simpson, and several others, this book provides a roadmap and a plan that will help you teach kids. It will equip you with strategies to provide a nurturing environment for the ultimate coaches in a young persons life, their parents.
Our goal is to help you prepare for what is coming. The Sandlot is a blast. From little league practices, to Game Day contests and life lessons throughout, it never hurts to know which pitch is coming. Take what yu like, mix it up with your own personal style and get out there and have fun.
As George says in the Forward, "The Sandlot Strategy is also designed to encourage partents to take a swing at coaching, relax and enjoy that short period of time their kids are under their watch. I loved just being 'Dad,' being called 'Coach' by the boys and being a part of their childhood in the sandlot. It certainly has gone by fast. Time really flies. Take the time to read this book, then put it down, go outside, and have some fun in 'the sandlot' while you can. Your kid will love you for it, no matter how much you know or what sport it is. They jsut want you there. Teach them the game and stuff about life the best way you know and let them have fun. Remember, it's just a game. As we watched our boys grow through little league, high school, and on out the door, we know we didn't miss anything, and we had fun. As their parents,w e definitely had the most fun."
