Coaching youth baseball is tough. Not only do coaches have to teach kids the fundamental skills of the game, they also have to know how to select a team, how to run efficient practices, and how to deal with parents and umpires. Furthermore, they have to make sure the game is fun for all the kids on their team. Jeff Ourvan is an experienced youth baseball coach who has determined that what makes the experience of little league so special is the values it teaches. In How to Coach Youth Baseball So Every Kid Wins, he outlines a plan of action for youth coaches to follow that will enable them to field a team that plays together, plays well, and has lots of fun in the process.
Jeff Ourvan is an attorney and writer living in New York City. He has three sons and has coached their winning youth baseball teams as part of Manhattan's Peter Stuyvesant Little League. His work has appeared in the Christian Science Monitor, San Francisco Examiner, and other notable publications.
