Inhaltsangabe

Kevin Gallagher has written a book that provides a process to parents and coaches on how to teach children to hit a baseball or a softball.

It is a process that will dramatically increase the chances of any child to make contact with the ball.Hitting a baseball is hard and very few people know how to teach children or young adults how to hit. Throwing batting practice to a child is not teaching them to hit.

This book is designed to convince the vast audience of Parents that they, regardless of their background, can teach their child to make contact with a baseball/softball, by providing a simple process that will make sense to them and their child. If we don't teach our kids to hit, they will get frustrated and quit.

The book is an easy read and is a story of the state of Baseball today, and takes us on a journey on how the length of Major League games, the late hour finishes, the Launch Angle Swing and the infatuation of the Home Run, as well as the amount of non-action during games, has all contributed to the games declining popularity in America and the disappearing participation of America's youth.

It is a story full of anecdotes, quotes and eye popping statistics that makes the book enjoyable, but always leading to the inevitable conclusion that making contact with the baseball is the only way you will keep a child involved in the game and ultimately create more action inside the game.

At the books conclusion, Kevin lays out a simple 8 Step Process to make contact with the ball.It is a process for the parent to learn, understand, and own. Then, and only then, will the parent will have the knowledge and confidence to teach their child.

In addition to the written process, and numerous entertaining illustrations, there are links to a 24 minute instructional video broken down step-by-step to help you visualize what is being taught.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Kevin Gallagher is a person who tries on a daily basis to inspire hope in everyone he meets. This doesn't take an extreme amount of effort, but rather simply recognizing that we all struggle with something. And even if we don't know the exact worries or wounds of another, if we meet that unknown with kindness, it somehow has a soothing effect and we are all better for it.In this book he addresses the struggle of a vast audience of parents who want to help their child participate in a sport, but lack the know-how. Kevin meets that struggle with insight and gentleness, providing hope to the parent via a solution they can learn and teach.Kevin was a 3 sport athletic star in High School going on to play both College Basketball and Baseball. It was in Baseball he excelled the most. He was a 3 time East Coast Athletic Conference ( ECAC ) All Star playing for Division 1A Pace University, University Athlete of the Year 3 years in a row, set 6 School Batting Records, was inducted into the Pace University Hall of Fame, finished in the Top Ten in batting and was an All Star playing for the Mt. Vernon Generals in the Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League (ACBL) under the coaching guidance of Jack Fisher, former long-time Major League Pitcher and played with the Pittsburgh Pirates Class A team before an injury ended his career abruptly. Kevin has also coached at numerous levels including Little League, American Legion, High School, College and in the Atlantic Collegiate Baseball League, a Major League Baseball Funded Summer League for Draft Prospects. Writing this book was born from Kevin's own wound of having his baseball career ended prematurely, and has been a passion of his for a long, long time. This is just another example of Kevin meeting another's struggle, in this case the parent trying to help his child, with insight, gentleness and hope.
