Fast-Pitch Softball Fundamentals

This book has helped me as a parent and a coach. It is a useful tool for up and coming softball player, ages 12 and up. I gave it to my 13 year old and she really understands now, the why's of what we expect as coaches. She is more motivated and driven, less attitude on the field and more leadership. I recommend this to anyone who has a child that plays fast pitch softball and for their child. ALL coached should read this book just before their season starts and again half-way through, when things get tough or parent issues arise. Enjoy!
