Hey Coach!...let My Kid Play!

"Hey Coach, --Let My Kid play is called a handbook, but it's really not. Not in the strict sense of a handbook. It is more accurately, a collection of humorous and informed essays about how parents can have fun with youth sports. This book is not a "thesis on" nor a "study of" Youth sport parenting. Those books are sterile, matter of fact and no fun. Hey Coach-- is a fun look at a serious subject. It is intended to make sure YOU and your child share this wonderful time of your lives. "Once youngsters gets to high school, they either stop playing or they play at a level that is more intense and less inclusive of dad and mom, ," says author Mike Easterling "Youth sports is the time to start the old camera and video recorder and document your child's trials and triumphs on the field or hardwood." Serious topics like how to recognize a poor coach; what the kid's want; and the importance of practice are dealt with in a light and conversational manner. The statistics, charts and projections are almost non-existent in this book. There are great essays and writings about the youth sports experience from the point of view of one who has been a sport parent, coach and youth athlete himself. If you want to get some insight into youth sports and make your experience fun. This is the book for you.
