"Coaching Champions for Life is a unique look at coaching with baseball as the backdrop. It reminds coaches just how important a role we play in the lives of our players and challenges us to look closely at the core of what we are teaching our athletes and the values they will need to succeed in life. This inspirational, educational and thought-provoking book provides you with a 'how-to' formula for doing just that."

"I have been coaching baseball for over 30 years, and this book is outstanding. The baseball concepts are very good, but more importantly, the methods used to teach kids baseball and life skills are exceptional. If coaches really understand that our main job is to develop 'championship people' through baseball, then this book is a must read."
Steve Nicollerat, Head Baseball Coach

“While the book inspires as well as outlines specific, detailed, non-negotiable team winning baseball fundamentals and strategies, Coaching Champions for Life also calls out coaches to recognize the benefits, responsibility and higher calling of mentoring athletes within the game, for beyond the game.”

It gives them the methodology to teach life skills that will carry our youth well beyond their playing days. These life skills will help make our youth honorable and productive adults in the competitive world we live in. Coaching Champions for Life is a great tool for any coach, athlete or parent looking to become a True Champion."

"The principles and methods Coach Adam advocates are as applicable to my business management as they are to my coaching youth baseball."
Jim Paino

"Coach Adam's book has opened my coaching eyes to new philosophies, drills and coaching awareness for players that I have never used before in my day-to-day baseball practices. You will learn something new you didn’t know about coaching baseball. This is a must read for all coaches on any level of baseball who try and teach the game of baseball the right way to kids and young adults.”
Joe Melendez, Baseball Coach
High School & Youth Travel Teams

"As a player, I appreciate the detail in which Coach Adam describes the teaching methodology to coaching baseball and more importantly, to building young athletes into people of character and integrity. In particular, I think the philosophies of ‘Let Your Players Play' and avoiding 'Motivation by Intimidation' need to be more widely adopted. The chapter on preparing an athlete for playing a sport in college is spot on and is something every athlete should know and follow.”
