Book recommendations

[mike s]

I am starting to assistant coach my DD's team, 16U and need to get smarter about everything related to softball. Looking for recommendations on what books you have found most helpful. Looking for the full spectrum, already have Hal's sneaky pitching, Kathy Strahan's Coaching Girls SB, the ASEP Coaching SB Technical and Tactical Skills, Kathy Veroni/Roanna Brazier's Coaching FP SB successfully, Heads-up Baseball and a SB Coaches Tool Kit. This is an amazing forum, thanks to all who contribute.

You have to get Dave Weaver's DVD for catcher's. He passed away recently, but he was a frequent poster and was very helpful. A Coaches Guide to Training Catchers DVD by Dave Weaver

There are tons of great books, but I would recommend going through ACE coaching certification. There are 4 levels with great videos and questions at each level.. Many leagues also ACE certification:

Amateur Softball Association of America (ASA)

One that I like is called The Softball Coaching Bible, or something very similar to that
