About The Book
Every player or fan of baseball and softball thinks they know the game—and they do, at least the rules and the strategy. But take a deeper look, and you’ll see there is so much more to be learned beyond the strikeouts, walks, base stealing, and double plays. Hidden behind the game’s fundamentals are subtle real-world messages and meanings that help lead to success off the field just as much as on it.
In 101 Lessons from the Dugout, famed baseball writer and insider Ken Davidoff and renowned parenting expert and writer Dr. Harley Rotbart decode these messages in brief snippets for young ballplayers and fans. Each lesson contains an individual feature of the game followed by a pearl of wisdom or two to inspire readers. These lessons show that picking the right pitch to swing at is the ultimate exercise of good judgment; that a runner leading off first base demonstrates the balancing of risk and reward; and that the self-discipline of tagging up is true impulse control.
Every pitch, hit, and play on the baseball and softball diamond is its own life lesson. From homework and humility, to punctuality and perseverance, to responsibility and resilience, 101 Lessons from the Dugout offers a game plan for happiness and success in the major leagues of school, friendship, and life.
