It is a collaboration that Peter Sprenkle began back in the beginning of 1999. Now, after two years of combining over 25 years of softball experience into this 223-page coaching assistant, his masterpiece is completed. Sprenkle's "A Softball Coaches Tool Kit" is a book that offers the beginner coach all the insights on how to be a productive and successful coach.
"A Softball Coaches Tool Kit" is filled with positive ideas, strategies, and opinions that would help guide anyone through coaching. Through his own examples, Sprenkle explains and shows his techniques through very readable text. As a book that appears to be directed just for the beginner, this book is also a contribution to the advancement of even the more advanced coach by offering different, but useful ideas. This book is compacted with material from every aspect of the sport, from starting a team to giving contacts for materials for improvement. Sprenkle uses his knowledge and passion for the sport to indulge others into a world of positive coaching.
After reading "A Softball Coaches Tool Kit" I not only have the basic understanding of a coaches' responsibilities and options, but I was also affected by the many positive and uplifting messages that overwhelmed the pages of his book. This book is not only a guide to successful coaching, but it also offers all of the techniques and handout formats on a CD. The CD allows the potential coach to use and reuse all the tools that Sprenkle offers within the text in an easy access manner.
"A Softball Coaches Tool Kit" is a lifesaver to the beginner and a useful addition to the softball expert. Sprenkle, through his two years of research, has touched every aspect of the sport in his book with the help and opinions of many people that have surrounded him in his past. His book is available at a variety of places. In order to find out more about the book or the author himself go to www.softballman.com. "A Softball Coaches Tool Kit" is definitely worth looking into.
