For me, the real value in this book is its realism. By that I mean it isn't about high-tech gadgets or superstar names, it's about how a typical coach can work with typical kids to make them better. Lots of tips plus many b/w photos to correct common swing problems, plus practical drills to work on every aspect of young hitters swings - as used by a guy who has taught over 60,000 lessons. Good help when you need it. - Richard Todd, WebBall
