Book Reviews of Think Better Baseball: Secrets from Major League Coaches and Players for Mastering the Mental Game

Book Review: For coaches, parents, and the players
Summary: 5 Stars

It seems that Mr. Cluck has hit upon his focus points in such a way that coaches, parents, and the players can all take something away and, consequently, grow in their understanding of the game.

"Think Better Baseball" is an easy read. Mr. Cluck uses a well organized approach, simple language, ample pictures and diagrams, and a generous number of situations for all players at bat or on defense. Mr. Cluck provides ample thoughtful material that I will revisit in February, just before our season starts.
