Swing for the Fences: Show Up. Dig In. Suck Less.

How do you measure success? Baseball players, for instance, can fail seven out of ten times at the plate and go to the Baseball Hall of Fame. So why do you think you need to bat 1.000?

Swing for the Fences draws on lessons from America's greatest pastime to create a manual of practical tools for winning at the game of life. Navigating life's challenges is never easy, but Greg Bancroft's thoughtful and humorous writing will teach you how to give yourself a break and ''suck less.''

In a clear, engaging style, Swing for the Fences guides you through being successful at home, at work, and in relationships. In the end, it's not just about the home runs; it's about how you approach stepping up to the plate.

Greg Bancroft's love for baseball was forged during summertime pickup games in his youth. Now, he shares his passion for the mythology, spirituality, and emotional journeys of our national pastime with family and friends across the country.

Swing for the Fences is Greg's second book; his first is Betsy's Day at the Game, a Mom's Choice award-winning children's book illustrated by Katherine Blackmore. He currently resides in Nashville, TN, with his family.
