Rating: Summary: Excellent Guide for parents. Review: I believe that this book could not have come at a better time. In this day and age it is not unusual for teenagers to sign multi-million dollar contracts for basketball and hockey. Unfortunately, for every Tiger Woods, Martina Hingis, and Kobe Byrant, there are many more unnamed people when pushed to the limits just burned out. Dr. Kuchenbecker' book reminds everyone that the primary role of sports is not to make millions of dollars and become famous, it is to have fun.
Rating: Summary: negative to coaches Review: I noticed that most references to coaches were in a negative way and I stopped reading the book after page 120. While I agree with alot of what was said I felt it was to anti-coach.
