good for general fitness but not so good for baseball/softball
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R28KOI259W3CVL To all softball players, coaches and parents:

In this video review, I explained that I'm very qualified to review this product and why I strongly believe that this book is not specific enough for softball players and is better suited for the general population.

Reviewer's credentials:

- Experienced Softball Coach (over 20 years of softball coaching experience including the international and college levels)

- Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach (over 10 years of experience training and conditioning softball players)

Wonderful Book
This book has been absolutely wonderful for me, as well as the rest of my team.I'm hitting the ball further then I ever have before.The difference was evident in weeks.Truly the single best program out there.

Helpful workout program
With help from this workout program I gained baserunning speed and an increase in bat head speed.This program is written very clearly and easy to follow.

Suprised
I have to admit, I never thought something like this would work.But, I was proven wrong. I just thought I would give my recomendation for this book, and thanks to Robert Price for helping me with my game. ... Read more

Love this book!
This book is very helpful to new coaches and seasoned coaches as well. I would recommend it, even if all that you need as a coach is some ideas for new drills.

There are better Softball books out there for the beginning coach
"The Baffled Parent's Guide to Coaching Youth Softball" is written with the coach stepping on the field for the first time in mind.It covers such topics as establishing one's identity as coach, an overview of Softball's basics, planning the season, how to teach Softball's essential skills, how to conduct a practice, and dealing with parents and gender issues.It also includes a Drill Section that offers various drills for warm-ups, defensive fundamentals, and batting stations.

As much as I like Jacquie Joseph as an author, I was disappointed in this book overall.There is little here that is not covered by other books, and in fact most of the topics discussed are covered better in various other books.For example, there are only three paragraphs dedicated to the difference between coaching boys and girls and they only include generalities.Also, the chapter on dealing with parents is only two written pages long!

The final three chapters of the book are dedicated to basic warm up, defensive, and batting drills.Though the book is written with the beginner coach teaching beginning players as its audience, there are a sprinkling of intermediate and advanced drills that seem out of place in this book.Also, there is no Drill Finder Matrix to help a coach quickly find an appropriate drill, which is surprising to me because Jacquie Joseph has written a very good drill book that includes one of the best Drill Finders I have seen. Perhaps she did not include a Drill Finder because there are only a total of 28 warm up, 12 defensive, and 10 batting drills listed.

There are some positives to draw from "The Baffled Parent's Guide to Coaching Youth Softball".The "Softball in a Nutshell" chapter is a very good primer for the coach or parent who is completely unfamiliar with the sport.Also, each chapter has a Question and Answer section that includes some good information.It has a call-out box that ranks positions in the order of the skill required to play it, something I have not seen presented elsewhere.

Unfortunately, though, the information presented here is so basic and/or general overall that any coach will quickly outgrow the guidance after a couple of practices under his belt.I therefore would not recommend this book, even for a coach completely new to the game.There are better references out there for your library.

Great book for coaches
I bought this book when I agreed to coach my daughter's 10u softball team--and then panicked!I played softball for years but it is a lot different now.This book was my coaching Bible.It helped me with fundamentals and beginning to intermediate drills. I highly recommended it to any coaches or parents want to learn the basics of softball.

Great for a beginner...
For a beginner, this book would be fantastic.If you've Managed for a season, though, all this book will do is confirm that you're doing the right thing (or not).Well written, and easy to understand, but elementary subjects.

Great Book!
This book is another great in the series of A Baffled Parent's Guide.These books are thorough and complete - a coach's bible, especially a new coach.The book covers everything from basics of the game to working with the children and dealing with the parents.I highly recommend books from this series. ...

Excellent first pitching book
Excellent book to gain a basic understanding of the windmill pitch.Good discussion of basic pitching drills as well however not all inclusive.Good illustrations to suppport text.My 8yr old daughter takes private lessons and this book couples very well with her lessons.We take the book to the park sometimes to use the illustrations to enforce teachings and feedback.For the money, it is invaluable.The Maven 1,2,3 Basics video is also outstanding.

Great Information
I purchased this book years ago for my daughter who is now a high school pitcher and hopes to play college and pro.We both learned alot about the athleticism and mechanics of pitching.It also includes great information about nutrition and warm-ups.Thanks Lisa for a great book chockful of valuable information!

Just another softball pitching book...OK, but not great.
I've read many a book on softball pitching, and most of them tend to be promotions for the "cover girl."At least this one gave a little more.My disappointments deal with not being able to transfer much of this into mens' fastpitch.There are subtle and not so subtle differences in the games, and there are other pitches in the repertoire with men, as well as differences in the movements that this didn't capture.I expected more from a former mens' pitcher and coach, than coverage only of the womens' game.Maybe it was the promo on it that misled me.Either way, I didn't get what I was looking for.But you don't teach men the way you teach women.

The Best for Reference for Fastpitch Pitching
The Windmill Pitcher is a great book for any coach, player, and parent.I highly recommend this for parents of pitchers. It is well written with execptional illustrations of the correct mechanics for the windmall pitcher. I've been around the game all my life and seen many good pitchers. The great pitchers have solid mechanics. This is a must have for fastpitch softball.

Fastpitch Softball: The Windmill Pitcher
Illustrations are not clear enough for a beginner to understand.I pitched fastpitch for over 35 years and I had trouble understanding what was being taught.

Overall, I was not too impressed with the book.I probably won't use it as a reference for my pitching school. ... Read more

Great Ideas for Practice
I looked through lots of books at the Bookstore and I was looking more for ideas for practice and helping kids learn new skills.This book provides learning through games, strategies and many more useful tools. I think that keeping the kids busy and learning in practice with little idle time is essential. It also gives you a plan for the year per age group. This book has given me lots of ideas.Thanks.

Psychology of Coaching
This book is a great book to discuss the pshycological aspect of coaching.The book discussed what it means to be a coach and how to deal with parents.It did have a few drills at the end of the book that were somewhat helpful but overall this book didn't have a lot of useful informationfor myself.If you want a great book for coaching, buy"The baffled Parents Guide To Coaching Youth Softball".

A more appropriate title would have been "The Psychological Aspects of Coaching Youth Softball".This book's strength is in that area.However, I was very disapointed in it's minimal discussion of specificdrills (batting, defense, base running etc.)

A Great Teaching Tool For Young Players
As a volunteer softball coach, I was impressed by this book and I found it to be a helpful and concise guide to the rules of softball for young players.Unlike other such books which are written for a high school or college level, this book is written for elementary school children (e.g., Kto 2nd grade) who are beginning to learn the game.The softball rules areexplained clearly and simply.This is helpful because softball rules canseem pretty hypertechnical to young children.Topics include equipment,positions, pitching, batting and strike zone, fair/foul territory, running,umpire signals, types of outs, vocabulary, etc.The illustrations alsohelp explain proper stances and positions.Don't expect a tome, however --the book is only 32 pages long.And this book won't provide much help forthose who've played softball for more than several years.I think thatthis book is perfect for its purpose. ...

Product Description
This book was written expressly for you who are coaching children in softball. We stress how to teach children this fun game and to have fun doing it. The book covers all facets of the game from “how to” throw a ball to strategies and tactics. When coaching children it should be a fun experience for everyone, for you, for the parents, and for the children. As a coach, we cover the teaching attitude and methods. We always keep in mind that the game is for the children and not for the adults. Winning isn't everything, but learning to play well and wanting to win is.

We take the children from kindergarten through the eighth grades and break them into four categories. In each category we discuss the players needs and abilities, what they are capable of in both the physical and emotional sense, and their limitations. We have also defined the coach’s role, the parent’s role and the player’s role.

slow-pitch softball players of the world unite!
I loved reading Prof. Amenta's composite long summer of '05 of playing softball in multiple leagues in NYC.The cast of characters ("players") could have been Anywhere U.S.A., where adult slow-pitch softball is played---personality conflicts, tough decisions, other life events intruding, winning vs. popularity, sabermetrics vs. tradition, etc.
I am experiencing the same angst right now, trying to play both senior slow-pitch softball as a rookie & still keep up with the "youngsters" in the church league version.Prof. Amenta is able to keep it all straight somehow, in an obsessive-compulsive way.I mean, how did he ever have time for his "regular job" as a sociology professor while playing in 4-5 leagues per week for months on end?
In the end (finally!), it is the relationships experienced, the mano-a-mano camaraderie that linger in one's memory (which the author confirms).The game itself is simply a framework, a structure for such interaction. Ahh, but what a game!

Professor Baseball:An Intriguing Prospect
I couldn't resist reading this book, captured by its wonderful title.Hats off, and three cheers, to the publisher for agreeing to issue this title.

Professor Amenta is a bi-coastal university sociologist, trained at the University of Chicago.And this book is framed -- to his great credit with some subtlety -- in the century-plus scholarship of the so-called "Chicago School."Scratch beneath the surface and you'll surely discover that many a professor -- sociologist or otherwise -- enthralled with baseball aspired to write such a book.

This is an ethnography, written in the tradition of the participant-observer (e.g., Herbert J. Gans, or more recently, Mitchell Dunier), associated with Chicago sociology).

Professor Amenta, a failed Little League player from suburban Chicago, pursued redemption by playing in organized recreational soft-ball leagues in Manhattan.I won't reveal the outcome.Read it for yourself!

We learn a great deal about the author's softball career ("Eddy ball"), academic career, and private life (the latter including a considerable amount of detail about infertility).Perhaps some will deem this overboiled, although mostly I found the whole thing tasteful, insightful, and even inspired.

I especially appreciated the author's concluding observations about the real meaning of life -- professional as well as personal -- as well as his rich experiences on the field of softball dreams.Professor Amenta provides readers with a great deal to contemplate about what happens when culture and society reach an intersection.

Professor Baseball may not be for every armchair baseball reader.But I certainly found it memorable and suspect that many others will subscribe to this sentiment. ... Read more

Good Book for Older (12U+)Players
I was looking for a book to help me with my daughter who is playing in 8U this year. This is not the book for that. While it is an excellent reference, the book focuses on tools and drills that only the older girls can do. I would recommend it for the older girls but not for 8U or even 10U.

Well written with lots of details and good pictures.

Good for the first time coach.
Alot of basic information.If you've already read one or two coaching softball books this one is not much different.

Outstanding Coaching Resource
Kathy Veroni and Roanna Brazier have written a real winner with their excellent softball reference, "Coaching Fastpitch Softball Successfully -- Second Edition".It is the first book to which I turn when I have a question about managing my team.As a softball board member, if there is an issue on which I feel lost, I can inevitably find good guidance from Veroni/Brazier.In the latter case, Chapter 4, Building a Softball Program, has been particularly valuable time and again.

While written for the travel, high school, or college manager, there is plenty here for lower level recreational league coaches as well.There are whole chapters that can benefit any coach, including developing a coaching philosophy, communicating, motivating, coaching plans, and evaluating the players, team, and the job one has done overall as coach for the season.Additionally, there are exceptional sections on coaching offense, defense and managing a game tactically that are unique to this book.

I love the hitting drills finder in Chapter 8.Instead of focusing on a particular skill to develop, as other drill finders do, "Coaching Fastpitch Softball Successfully" directs its attention on batting problems or flaws to correct.What an absolutely brilliant approach...and of course, extremely valuable to a coach who wants to be more effective!Throw in the standard chapters on defensive and pitching drills and fundamentals, and "Coaching Fastpitch Softball Successfully" becomes a complete reference guide for having a successful season and program.

I know that this book has given my teams at the recreational league level a real edge, both on the playing field and off.Whether one is a new coach at the recreational level, or a seasoned veteran at the travel or high school level, this book is a must-have on your shelf.

Perfect!
The book was in perfect condition and the shipping was right on time! Great transaction!
