New York Times bestselling author Mike Matheny offers the definitive guide to coaching youth baseball and instilling positive values on and off the field.

In 2009, former manager of the St. Louis Cardinals Mike Matheny penned a strongly worded letter urging parents and coaches to view youth baseball not as a stepping stone to the Major Leagues, but as a guide to teaching children discipline, the value of hard work, and the virtue of humility. That letter quickly went viral and became the basis of the New York Times bestseller, The Matheny Manifesto. Now, in The Dad Coach, Matheny puts his philosophy in action and provides a step-by-step template for coaches and parents to develop solid fundamentals and a strong sense of character in their players, including-

Age-specific drills and exercises to develop skills, along with practice plans to help young ballplayers improve Game preparation and evaluation techniques to help coaches stay on track and keep kids engaged Advice on making coaching a meaningful investment of time and experience. Combining Matheny's coaching expertise with the storytelling abilities of bestselling author Jerry B. Jenkins, The Dad Coach is an engaging and essential resource for anyone, regardless of experience, who wants to coach their teams to success in baseball and life.
