What Others Have to Say About the Softball Tool Kit:
"At first I though it would be too much for a recreational coach, but I was totally wrong. Those coaches who use the Softball Coaches Tool Kit are better organized, run smarter practices and have players who are having more fun."

"If you are a serious coach, or a weekend assistant for your daughter's team, A Softball Coaches Tool Kit is a must read."
Softball West Magazine
“A Softball Coaches Tool Kit is an invaluable tool for any softball coach at any age level. From the rookie coach to the veteran, there is something for everyone to use. I would highly recommend every coach to get a copy of this great reference.”
Jay Miller, Mississippi State University
"Loads of info that just has to be useful to anyone wanting to coach. Everything is covered ... and then some. This is an excellent book which cannot help but benefit those who are willing to learn."
Dick Smith, University of St. Francis (IL)
"I have been coaching for 15 years for competitive traveling teams and a High School team and finished this book wiser and armed with new ideas. In the 20 plus clinics I have attended, I have never seen most of the drills, and when I tried them with my team, they loved them and learned something. This is a book every coach should invest in."
Larry Becker, WassonHigh School

Ron Hennessey, Texas Xtreme - 14U USSSA National Champions
