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.
