Book excerpt: In a unique context of sports quotations, fun, and facts, Pocket Coach to Parenthood is a parent's personal "coach", dispensing wisdom on raising children, giving pep talks when they're in a slump, and teaching them how to deal with problems before they ever arise -- kind of like a parenting "spring-training". Supported by the encouraging words of Tommy Lasorda, Joe Torre, Babe Ruth, John Madden, Knute Rockne, and hundreds of other stars and coaches, the text inspires and guides parents to improve their play with their children. Chapters, from "WarmUp" to "Playing in the Higher League", reveal a step-by-step game plan for attaining success as a parent and in the game of life. Pocket Coach to Parenthood creates a model for busy parents that they can actually use. -- "Parenthood is as demanding a sport as football, hockey or baseball, but all too often mothers and fathers come into the game entirely unprepared for the task of 'coaching' a brand new human from infancy to adulthood. What the parents need is a good coach. Such... can be found in... Pocket Coach To Parenthood", -- Andrea Estrada, The Working Parent, August 1997
