In The Dad Coach, Matheny puts his philosophy into action and provides a step-by-step template for coaches and parents to develop solid fundamentals and a strong sense of character in their players, including: Age-specific drills and exercises to develop skills, along with practice plans to help young ballplayers improve Game preparation and evaluation techniques to help coaches stay on track and keep kids engaged Adviceon making coaching a meaningful investment of time and experience Combining Matheny's coaching expertise with the storytelling abilities of bestselling author Jerry B. Jenkins, The Dad Coach is an engaging and essential resource for anyone, regardless ofexperience, who wants to coach their teams to success in baseball and life"-- Provided by publisher.
