Raising a Team Player: Teaching Kids Lasting Values on the Field, on the Court and on the Bench

by Joe Torre (Foreword), Danny Peary, Harry Sheehy

In addition to developing athletic prowess, team sports present a great opportunity for nurturing critical social skills in young athletes. With plenty of advice on bestowing praise, tempering unwanted behavior, and supporting kids and teens on the field, Harry Sheehy shares lessons and wisdom learned from more than two decades of working with young athletes at Williams College and Dartmouth College. Encouraging parents to get involved, Sheehy demonstrates how sportsmanship can help instill important life values that extend beyond the game.

Great book for all parents and to-be parents. If you're kids are in to athletics then this books for you. I have heard Mr. Sheehy talk in person and his book is right on about kids, parents, and coaches. This is an informative book.
