Anger Throws a Curveball is a realistic fiction book that details the baseball experience of a twelve year old boy and his teammates. Failing to live up to coaches and parents unrealistic performance standards can yield to anger from young ball players resulting in a release of emotions in the form of tears. There is an answer however to beating anger.
Managing 23 youth baseball teams Coach Venosdel has seen the desire kids have to please their parents, family, friends, coaches and teammates especially in Championship competition. Managing teams with players age 6 to 14 comprised of roughly 500 parents Coach Venosdel had the unique position to see the desire of loving parents who can lose a sense of reality and demand that their child perform at a major league baseball talent level.
The pressure to field every ground ball and fly ball, hit every pitch and never make an out can result in anger and hatred from the young ball player when they don’t live up to their parent’s standards.
Story line:

Game Day comes, and Brent's nerves and emotions are a wreck. Then some unexpected events during the Baseball Championship event open his eyes to a score that really counts, even after the Championship game. It was a close and exciting game, but Brent is excited about an entirely different score.
