    Description

    by Mike Matheny (Author), Jerry B. Jenkins (With)

    The New York Times bestselling author of The Matheny Manifesto offers the definitive guide to coaching youth baseball and instilling positive values on and off the field.

    Long before he became manager of the St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Royals, Mike Matheny grasped the core values of what really mattered when it came to playing baseball. It wasn't attention from fans or the trophy at the end of a season that guided his morals, but the hard-won discipline, labor, and humility that he incorporated into every game he played. Now, 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
    • Advice on making coaching a meaningful experience and investment of time
    • More than seventy QR codes leading to instructional videos featuring Matheny and other Dad Coach advocates

    Drawing on Matheny's playing and coaching expertise at every level of the game, The Dad Coach is an engaging and essential resource for anyone, regardless of experience, who wants to coach their players to success in baseball and life.
