Self-Help
Over the past decade, the stakes in youth sports have
reached startling heights; the pressure to win often
eclipses the desire to have fun. Sports injuries have
increased tenfold; aggression on and off the field-between
kids, parents, and coaches-is at a fever pitch; and drug and
alcohol use among young athletes is on the rise. While there
are plenty of books that help the best-intentioned parent,
most of them are written by men, for men. They do not
address concerns specific to mothers, nor empower them to
confidently step onto the out-of-control playground to
assume whatever role they choose-spectator, advocate,
administrator, coach, fund-raiser, or team mom.
Home Team Advantage is an essential resource manual
that will inspire women to confidently tackle some of the
issues preventing their kids from enjoying sports. Brooke de
Lench authoritatively covers issues ranging from ensuring
playing time and confronting out-of-control coaches to
countering the "winning at all costs" mentality. Packed with
real-life anecdotes and information from experts, Home
Team Advantage provides constructive, practical, and
forward-thinking advice to help mothers understand the
critical role they can play in putting the words fun, game,
and play back into youth sports.
