Publisher's Synopsis
If you are coaching youngsters and are looking for fundamental baseball or softball drills that teach every position and skill set, this is the book. It has everything you need in a single volume. Practicing for Perfection has a minimum of two fundamental drills for each position and skill set to increase your teaching ability as a coach. There are fundamentals of the game that, when taught and implemented, make the difference between winning and losing. Read the chapter Little Things Analytics, a first for baseball and softball, which tells you why teams who do the little things best win the games. The book even includes a practice planner that should be used to preplan every practice. Just playing the game will improve a player's performance, but it will take a long time to reach any level of proficiency. Meanwhile, the player's team probably will not be too successful. This book will shorten the learning curve dramatically, from years to just weeks. Players who practice these drills diligently will maximize their natural athletic abilities and have an advantage over nearly every opponent they face. The narrative is written clearly and concisely, amplified with over 60 photographs that demonstrate exactly what the narrative says. A player, coach, or parent can read AND see exactly what needs to be done. You might need to buy quite a few books to get all the information contained in just this volume, but you don't need 10-12 different books. Practicing for Perfection is one-stop shopping at its best.
