It is frustrating as a coach to see your athletes performing skills well in practice, only to later witness their defeat in the games. Coaching Baseball Technical and Tactical Skills helps you cover the fundamentals while putting players in key tactical situations, including 1st-and-3rd, hit-and-run, and rundown situations, allowing your players to gain valuable gamelike playing experience in practice. Baseball skills are clearly described, and nearly 180 photos and illustrations are used to further help you to understand and implement the techniques in specific situations. Included are quick tips on how to detect and correct errors in your athletes, cues athletes need to be aware of in various tactical situations, and key information your athletes need to know to make the appropriate decisions on the field. Skills are cross-referenced to help you to see how the skills relate to each other and to enable you to quickly find how to use them in practice situations. Eight detailed practice plans and a season plan, incorporating gamelike individual and situational skills, are included to help you get the most out of each practice. Coaching Baseball Technical and Tactical Skills was written by the American Sport Education Program (ASEP) and 2004 American Baseball Coaches Association Coach of the Year Tom O'Connell. Additionally, this book has received the endorsement of the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA).
