In Their Own Words

Two-time Olympic gold medalist Michele Smith teams up with Lawrence Hsieh to provide softball coaches and parents of novice, intermediate, and advanced players from grade four through high school all the tools needed to teach and drill the entire range of offensive and defensive softball skills. Each of the eight chapters contains both a skills section and a drills section. The skills section of each chapter is a coaching manual that contains all the detailed information you'll need to teach your players the fundamentals. The drills sections contain a comprehensive suite of drills on hitting, base running, infield and outfield defense (by position), pitching, catcher (the position), throwing and catching, fielding footwork and pregame drills.
