Jack Perconte is a leading authority on coaching youth sports, sports parenting, and baseball. His post-major league baseball career has been about helping youth and their parents through the complicated world of youth sports. Combining his playing, coaching, and parenting experiences, he continues to help create better sporting experiences for athletes, baseball players, and their parents. Furthermore, having completed 14 marathons and in training for his 15th, his new book, The Success Trail, details his running travails in the context of the things he learned on his quest to playing major league baseball - all to help others learn to compete and win the games and game of life. Jack provides the philosophy and strategies that keep the fun in sport. Creating a Season to Remember: The New Youth-Sports-Coaching Leadership Handbook was written for the well-intentioned, kindhearted people who volunteer to coach kids and who want help with dealing with every situation and player type they will encounter. It is the youth sports leadership guide that has been missing. His other books are Raising an Athlete:How to instill confidence, build skills and inspire a love of sport and The Making of a Hitter: A Proven and Practical Step-byStep Hitting Guide.
