Publisher's Synopsis
NOTE - This lower priced version provides the interior images in black and white rather than full color but all content and video links remain the same.
YOU can teach your child to hit.... To make contact with a baseball or a softball!Yes ... YOU the parent, CAN!And when your child hits the ball, runs it out and is part of the game he/she will be having fun! They will feel a part of the team, enjoy the dugout companionship and want to come back tomorrow and play again!
But swinging and missing over and over will cause frustration and embarrassment, and drive them to another activity, quickly.
And once a child quits a sport, they don't come back.
So, it is our responsibility to "Teach Your Kid to Hit .... So They Don't Quit"
★ The purpose of this book is two-fold.
- To provide a process to teach ordinary kids, who like, and want to play baseball, how to make[GK1] contact with a pitched ball, so they don't get frustrated and quit AND ...
- To convince parents that THEY are the ones that can learn this process, and teach their child to hit.
This book is not designed to create the next AAU Traveling Team All Star, or the next Major Leaguer, although the process will show you how you can provide the success you need to make it all the way to Professional Ball.
Rather, what this book is meant to do, through a Top Hand Hitting method, is to convince ordinary parents that THEY are the ones that can teach their child to hit.
This simple process is meant for ordinary kids, who like, and want to play baseball, how to make contact with a pitched ball.
Most parents don't know how to teach their child to hit... As a matter of fact, most Little League and many high school coaches don't know how to teach a child to hit.
Yet that is where parents send them, when they struggle to teach their child themselves.
Parents and many coaches will devote time and throw Batting Practice and encourage their child, but that is not teaching them.
Parents need a process or a specific set of instructions that will MAKE SENSE to the child, and that they will want to do.
So, this book is designed to convince the vast audience of parents that they, regardless of their background, can teach their child to make contact with a baseball/softball.
The book is an easy read and is a story of the state of Baseball today, and takes us on a journey on how the length of Major League games, the late hour finishes, the Launch Angle Swing and the infatuation of the Home Run, as well as the amount of non-action during games, has all contributed to the games declining popularity in America and the disappearing participation of America's youth.
It is full of anecdotes, quotes and eye popping statistics that makes the book enjoyable, but always leading to the inevitable conclusion that making contact with the baseball is the only way you will keep a child involved in the game and ultimately create more action inside the game.
After reading this book and watching the Instructional Videos at the end of the book, parents will have a process that they understand and own, that will show their child a way to hit the ball more often and consequently have fun!
And remember, if they don't learn to hit, they will quit.
It doesn't matter how much you love the game, they will leave.
Kevin Gallagher wants your child to have fun, enjoy the game of baseball, be part of a team, learn life lessons on the diamond, and he wants you to have the exciting experience of bonding with your child as you travel to and from games for years
