Book Reviews of Youth Sports: Perspectives for a New Century
Book Review: Good perspective, Goals and Overachieving. Tom Hull.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book contains a good set of guidelines and perspectives for the parents and coaches of youth sports. Athletics is very important to many kids and parents. Keeping a perspective for many families is the key to succss and happiness. Good examples in the book.
For more conditioned focus on a particular sport, seek another avenue. Nice job on the subject.
