Skills & Drills by Bragg Stockton
Be a better teacher & tactician
Of the many books that cover the skills and drills of baseball, few hit on tactical skills - the situational decisions that often determine the outcome. That makes this book a stand-out. Written by the American Sport Education Program (ASEP) in conjunction with Tom O'Connell, Coaching Baseball Technical and Tactical Skills prepares you to be a better teacher and tactician. Includes technical skills plus tactical skills, plus sample season and practice plans.
Over 80 drills especially for the coach of youth baseball players 7-12 years old. Authored by none other than Marty Schupak, creater of the widely popular '59 Minute Baseball Practice Video'. Drills in this companion book are easily located by topic in the seven chapters, and they progress in difficulty so that you can choose the most appropriate ones for your players' abilities in each facet of the game. And, because attention spans are short at those ages, each drill is designed to maximize the number of players involved on the field. Helpful tips throughout the book make on-field practice, organization, and time management much easier.
