The other day we had a soccer game where one of the parents totally lost it because the coach didn't cut some of the not-so-great players (we are talking about 8 year olds here). That parent had no idea that a sport is so much more than the game. <br /><br />Jeanette- Yes, Jeff has been such a great sounding board to me and always gives excellent advice. He’s quick to answer emails, professional, and yet he totally makes me laugh. Besides, he does a great job at getting my work into the right editor’s hands. I feel so fortunate to be working with him.<br /><br />Thank you so much Jeff and to all the agents for such an awesome week. I loved the advice and honesty that you shared with us!Christina Farleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03459203755170266842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-306844181126721639.post-14802406195371169182012-05-04T13:23:36.461-04:002012-05-04T13:23:36.461-04:00I love Jeff’s comment, “I think it’s more importan...I love Jeff’s comment, “I think it’s more important to live a courageous and interesting life everyday in order to be a good writer.” I may print that up and post it over my computer and around the house. That sentence could end in so many ways, “. . . to be a good teacher”; “to be a good partner”; “to be a good friend.” Thank you.Jeanette W.

There were a few stories of parents getting into fights because of supposedly bad calls by the umpire. Hopefully your book's section "dealing with parents" is also about talking to parents to be less competitive about pressuring their kids to win in youth baseball, and just allowing them enjoy playing the game. Good luck with the book.G.M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02652216131823877445noreply@blogger.com
