------------------- About the Product ------------------- --Coaching young players, developing their skills, and cultivating a love for the sport may be the most rewarding experience baseball can offer. Cal and Bill Ripken understand this like few others. --From their father, Cal Sr., a legend in the Baltimore Orioles organization for 37 years, they learned to play the game the right way. --Those lessons, paired with their combined 33 years of big league experience, helped develop the Ripken Way, a method of teaching the game through simple instruction, solid explanations, encouragement, and a positive atmosphere. --In Coaching Youth Baseball the Ripken Way, Cal and Bill share this approach to coaching and development. --Whether you’re teaching your children at home, managing the local travel team, or working with high school-level players, Coaching Youth Baseball the Ripken Way will help you make a difference both on and off the field, with these features: ------------------- ---More than 50 drills covering defense, hitting, pitching, and baserunning ---Age-specific practice plans for players ranging from 4 to 15+ ---Strategies for setting goals and reasonable expectations for your players and team ---Advice on communicating with parents, players, and staff ---Methods for creating a positive and fun environment in which kids can learn the skills and strategies of the game ---Bill Ripken was once voted by his peers as one of the big league players most likely to become a manager. ---Cal Ripken, Jr., known as baseball’s Iron Man, is a member of the game’s All-Century Team and a future Hall of Famer. ---Together, they are proof positive that the Ripken Way is the right way to teach the game of baseball. ------------------- Table of Contents Part I Coaching the Ripken Way --Chapter 1.
