Summary: Should help most Little League coaches
Comment: Most of the Little League coaches I have come across could probably find something to learn from this book. If you have a player who is stuggling with some part of his game, chances are some of what he or she is doing wrong is talked about in this book.

I've used some of the drills described in the book, and for the most part they've helped. I wouldn't recommend this as your first book if you are new to coaching, but maybe as your second or third...

Customer Rating:

Summary: Only for novices
Comment: If you are a baseball novice, or if you never played ball above the Little League level, this book may be of value to you as a coach. Otherwise, there is little here that will strike an experienced coach or player as new or insightful.

In general, I've found that the books published by Little League Baseball for coaches aren't very helpful. In fact, the only book I've found on the subject that contains useful, practical advice is "Bean's About Baseball."

Customer Rating:

Summary: excellent!
Comment: I have read several books and watched several video/DVD's on baseball instruction for Little Leaguers. So far, this is my favorite. Don't let the title fool you, this book isn't just about fixing specific problems, in the process it teaches the proper methods from start to finish, whether it be hitting, throwing/catching, pitching or fielding. Other books, DVD's, videos etc., teach proper methods, but they don't teach you how to recognize problems. This book does. This book points them out for you, like recognizing a tired pitcher. No Little League pitcher will tell the coach he's tired and needs to come out of the game, after reading this book, the coach will know. I compare all other books to this one. I constantly refer to this book for a reference.
