 Rating: - The Definitive Handbook for High School Fastpitch CoachesI have coached for over ten years now and have found this book to be the most comprehensive, theoretically sound, user friendly coaching handbook on the market. Veroni has organized the information most effectively using charts and diagrams in addition to her commentary. This is THE book to purchase for both the beginning or experienced high school coach. Rating:  - For Youth Softball - Good ReferenceThis book is comprehensive and is aimed at the coach of a team consisting of younger or much younger players. Kathy Veroni sounds like a tough, fair, and thorough coach. Imagine driving a group of late-arriving players 10 miles out of town and telling then to jog back to practice. No wonder West Illinois U has a great softball team. However, as a captain of a mens' fastpitch softball team, with players who play once a week, this book did not help me much.

Gave mine to a friend and am ordering another. If you love your Coach, buy him or her this book.

That in turn has influenced how I teach these young girls. Many of the fine drills in this book are too advancd for my age group, but I was able to simplify them a little to make them easier for 7-8 year olds. If your coaching 6-10 year old kids and can only buy one book, this may not be the one. ... Read More |
