As a league administrator, I'm always looking for great coaching
resources for the coaches in our league. I love this book because it's a combination coaching and drills book. Many drills books out there just have drills (with a smattering of ad hoc remarks on mechanics). But this book is different. Every section of the book has a thorough discussion of the required mechanics (hitting, pitching, defensive footwork, infield defense, outfield defense, etc.), followed by a slew of drills. The book contains a progression of drills for every level of player (youth league level, as well as tons of "advanced variation" drills for travel league and high school players). The book is very organized, and therefore is a great resource for coaches to refer back to on a regular basis. You can tell that Michele Smith is a stickler for details because the photos and captions are very detail oriented and helpful. All and all a fantastic resource!

This book is a great reference for any coach of U10, U12, U14 and high school girls softball. The book is very organized and well written, and explains very clearly the fundamentals behind each drill. As expected, the pitching chapter is excellent. But the hitting and the defense chapters are also outstanding. There are lots of advanced level coaching tips throughout the book, including in each drill's "hints" section. Michele Smith is in alot of the photos personally demonstrating the mechanics and drills. The diagrams are good, and clutter free.

I have two daughters, an eighth grader who is really into softball, and a fourth grader who is just getting into the sport. I ran across this new drills book and highly recommend it. It's really organized, with good pictures to go along with the drills. And it's great for both of my girls. I'm definitely going to tell their coaches about it.
