Overview
Long before he became manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, Mike Matheny grasped the core values of what really mattered when it came to playing baseball. It wasn't attention from fans or the trophy at the end of a match that guided his morals, but the hard-won discipline, labor, and humility that he incorporated into every game he played. In The Dad Coach, Matheny puts his philosophy into action and provides a step-by-step template for coaches and parents to develop solid fundamentals and a strong sense of character in their players, including:
- Age-specific drills and exercises to develop skills, along with practice plans to help young ballplayers improve
- Game preparation and evaluation techniques to help coaches stay on track and keep kids engaged
- Advice on making coaching a meaningful investment of time and experience
Combining Matheny’s coaching expertise with the storytelling abilities of bestselling author Jerry B. Jenkins, The Dad Coach is an engaging and essential resource for anyone, regardless of experience, who wants to coach their teams to success in baseball and life.
