Kindle Pick of the Week: Baseball: Teach Your Kid to Hit...So They Don't Quit!

Teach your child to hit…. To make contact with a baseball or a softball!
Yes … YOU the parent, CAN!
And when your child hits the ball, runs it out and is part of the game he/she will be having fun! They will feel a part of the team, enjoy the dugout companionship and want to come back tomorrow and play again!

But swinging and missing over and over will cause frustration and embarrassment, and drive them to another activity, quickly.

And once a child quits a sport, they don’t come back.

So, it is our responsibility to “Teach Your Kid to Hit …. So They Don’t Quit”

★ The purpose of this book is two-fold.

To provide a process to teach ordinary kids, who like, and want to play baseball, how to make[GK1] contact with a pitched ball, so they don’t get frustrated and quit AND …
To convince parents that THEY are the ones that can learn this process, and teach their child to hit.
This book is not designed to create the next AAU Traveling Team All Star, or the next Major Leaguer, although the process will show you how you can provide the success you need to make it all the way to Professional Ball.

Rather, what this book is meant to do, through a Top Hand Hitting method, is to convince ordinary parents that THEY are the ones that can teach their child to hit.

This simple process is meant for ordinary kids, who like, and want to play baseball, how to make contact with a pitched ball.


Parents and kids will benefit from this book!

Amazon Pick of the Week: To Where You Are

Valentine's Day reading.

Author and political advocate Jason Fisher will release his memoir and testament to true love, To Where You Are, on Valentine's Day 2022. This moving tribute to his late wife details Fisher’s story of discovering unconditional love, dealing with grief and trauma after losing his wife and soulmate unexpectedly, becoming a single parent of a child with a rare disability, and forging a new path forward.

“I spent many years summoning the emotional courage to write this book—our love story. It kept calling to me, and I never gave up because it was a story worth telling,” says Fisher. “The memories that I made with my wife, particularly in the short time we were together with our daughter as a family, are priceless to me.”

The heartache following his young wife’s sudden death led Fisher on a tumultuous journey as a widower and a single father to a 2-year-old daughter with special needs, requiring him to adapt to a world he had never imagined facing. Through his grief and pain, Fisher is reminded of “how special my wife, Mandi, was as a person. She was the brightest star in my universe and taught me so much about the meaning of unconditional love.

“Life is unpredictable and can give you incredibly difficult challenges at times,” he continues. “The road to healing after facing a crisis is rarely straight or paved smoothly. Surrounding yourself with people who amplify the best version of yourself and give you that confidence boost when you need it most is paramount.”

Kindle Pick of the Week: Building Happier Kids

Between the frantic pace of pre-pandemic life and the isolation and screen-time overload of 2020, many kids are suffering from stress and other mental health issues. In Building Happier Kids, pediatrician Hansa Bhargava helps parents understand the impact of stress and shares concrete steps parents can take to reduce the pressure on their children and teens and increase their health and happiness. Dr. Bhargava prescribes taking a step back from today's non-stop pace and focusing on the basics of healthy eating, quality sleep, and unscheduled free time. Extracurricular commitments, homework, and ever-present electronic devices can make this seem easier said than done, but Dr. Bhargava offers realistic, balanced advice that will help prioritize health and restore the happiness of childhood.

Kindle Pick of the Week: Last Night When I Was Young: Sporting Favourites of Mine

A great book of sports and reflection.

Last Night When I Was Young saw me riding thoroughbred racehorses as if I were Doug Smith and Fred Winter. In the same vein, I played football as Jimmy Greaves did for Chelsea and I was a Test Match batsman emulating the great PBH May. I hit the biggest serve as Mike Sangster in the Davis Cup, as well as bobbing and weaving in the boxing ring exactly like my favourite Dick Tiger, the world middleweight champion.

I was unstoppable behind the wheel of a racing car as Britain's first world champion Mike Hawthorn but on the speedway track I rode with stylish aplomb interpreting my hero, Ronnie "Mirac" Moore. Swinging a mashie niblick as Peter Alliss was no handicap. Rugby Union at Twickenham when my body swerve was very sharp - Richard Sharp. When the Olympics came around, I ran the race of my life both over long distances and over one lap hurdles respectively as Gordon Pirie and the great David Hemery. With eyes open, I loved watching the upright Dorothy Hyman dip and throw herself over the line whilst I fell in love with Mary Rand hitch-kicking her way into Olympic history.

Fantasy is then mixed with fact. The jockeys' journeys from completing exacting apprenticeships to becoming champions on the Flat and the National Hunt. Smith riding two-year-olds on the edge in the One Thousand Guineas and the Two Thousand Guineas. Whereas Winter was jumping off the edge of the world in The Grand National.

The trials and tribulations with the relative success of the 1960's Chelsea football team from Drake's ducklings morphing into Docherty's uncut diamonds. A fourteen-year-old boy from New Zealand leaves home to become the first speedway superstar. The fight of the week from the USA brings us a Nigerian boxer who confounds convention and fights his way to the top of two weight divisions.
