Coaching youth sports teams can be very stressful. Some unreasonable parents and children can make a coach''s life difficult. Of coarse, some selfish coaches can damage the child''s sports experience as well. This book began as a one page list of strategies designed to help the local youth league baseball coaches enjoy a season absent of parent and player grievances. It has grown into a compilation of anecdotes designed to support coaching strategies and concepts that lead to rewarding seasons for everyone. Along with a series of strategies for a happy team, this book also addresses the lessons provided by youth sports and competition, the difficulties of high expectations placed on some children with early success, how to help the less confident and less talented, how to handle difficult parents, and what it means to win. The book is full of entertaining true stories. The final chapter, "The Last Philly", is a true story that pulls it all together and demonstrates a magnificent payoff courtesy of teamwork, effort and encouragement.
