Book excerpt: Are You a Youth Sport Athlete? If you’re reading this book, maybe you just joined your first recreation soccer team. Or, maybe you are nervous about tryouts this weekend for the traveling baseball team you’ve always dreamed of being on. Whatever your reason or playing level, The Youth Sports Handbook will help guide you in your journey as an athlete. Using lessons from your favorite players, you will learn how to “wow” your coaches and be the ultimate leader, competitor, and teammate. What can Olympic Gold Medalist Cat Osterman teach us about bouncing back from a tough loss? How did basketball superstar Kevin Durant lead his teammates to two straight NBA championships? We’ll tackle these questions and much more in this fun handbook for athletes seven to 17. Are You a Youth Sport Parent or Coach? When I founded my first youth sports club in 2021, I sought out a book to send our U10 baseball players to read before the season that emphasized how to be a leader and good teammate for the upcoming season. I was surprised to find that no such book existed for youth athletes. If you are reading this, you don’t need me to tell you how competitive and structured youth sports have become. In this book, I aim to give your athlete memorable and easy digestible nuggets of advice to help them enjoy their experience and perform their best, no matter the level or age of competition. This book is designed to be read over a week or two by a high school aged athlete, in the month leading up to each season by elementary and middle schoolers, and before bedtime to the newest athletes.
