Ron Polk breaks the game of baseball down not only
position by position, but all aspects of the game
off the field. A veteran college coach and one of
the most respected men in the game, Polk gives
excellent tips for coaches of all levels, from the
first day of practice to the final game of the
postseason tournament. The former Mississippi State
coach is still a popular speaker on the clinic tour
and after reading the book, one will understand why.
Not only does Polk discuss teaching fundamentals and
game strategies, but also gives excellent ideas and
points on the "behind-the-scenes" aspects of the
game - everything from organizing tournaments and
field maintenance to dealing with the local
officiating associations, fans, and bringing in
support staff to help run a smooth program. Polk
even includes ready-to-copy charts and forms for
player information, public address announcers, game
schedules, equipment managing, and setting up and
enforcing team policies. If you're looking for
big-names and shiny pictures, forget it - this book
is for serious coaches....and Polk doesn't leave any
aspect of coaching in an organized baseball league
uncovered.
