Reader Review - June 2004
Robin Carlsen's book, GIVE THE
GAME BACK TO THE KIDS, rings a strong chord of approval in me. After a
lifetime in baseball as a player, college coach, teacher, and yes, as the
CO-commissioner of a Minnesota Little League in which my two sons played, I have
a strong conviction that parents, coaches of youth leagues, friends and family
of our boys and girls, need to read and heed what Coach Carlsen has written.
He has an intimate feel for what coaches and, most importantly, kids are
experiencing in their early years of competition. Thankfully, most of this
is good and helpful in their physical and emotional development. But, too
often, our children are turned off in this worthy pursuit by over zealous,
misdirected, untrained adults. I am a convinced believer that, properly
directed, athletic competition is foundational in the healthy, wholesome growth
of our youngsters. And that this book will be a useful tool to make this
happen!
