You're here so we assume you get something from WebBall, but the idea of this survey was to find out where else coaches turn for help.

We started by getting some background on each voter, then opened it up to suggestions. Notice that the results for those who voted vary somewhat from the entire WebBall community. So no one  should takes these answers as a complete list of resources. We are going to provide links to other resources, and of course we continue to seek new ideas for WebBall itself - that way we all keep learning.

How long have you been coaching... Where and in what capacity are you coaching... What age level is your current team?... What's your background in baseball (top level reached)... Where do you turn for help (when you started and now)... What's your one best source of help over the years...

Rather than opinions we asked for names - book and video titles, other resources, even other websites. The lists are not complete but they provide some directions to turn.
