NEW BOOK! THE CAR RIDE HOME - RESPECTING YOUTH AT A VULNERABLE PLACE AND TIME
Here is what is being said about it by baseball authorities throughout the country:
Accomplished author Adam Sarancik truly captures the dynamic that will always exist between young athletes and their parents/coaches in The Car Ride Home. With a unique perspective as both a writer and a coach, Sarancik offers a perspective that is both practical and profound, reminding us that connection must come before correction, and how our messaging as adults can either build confidence or diminish it. This book accurately packages the intentions (well-intended or not) of many coaches and parents, and the resulting emotions our young players are left to deal with. Any invested coach, parent or league should check this book out; if you’re like me, you’ll finish it before you put it down!
Adam Revelette, Editor, Inside Pitch Magazine, American Baseball Coaches Association
“The Car Ride Home is a must-read, must-teach, must-share book for leagues, coaches and parents of youth in all sports. If youth are ever to truly love the game-or life or any sport-the way those who respect it do, this book delivers an inspiring story with non-negotiable truths that simply cannot be ignored.”
Alex Esquerra, Pastor, Owner/Next Level Coaching, Former Head Baseball Coach
Horizon Christian High School, 2011 Oregon 3A State Champions
“This book has a golden message! A message that’ll help us improve relationships with those that matter the most. It's a wonderful blueprint to help parents, coaches and leagues cultivate win-win conversations. Given the landscape of youth sports today, this book is more important than ever. Highly recommended reading!”
Coach Bo, 8020BASEBALL
“A well written and moving story offering an important message for parents, coaches and leagues on how to truly encourage and support young athletes.” Ron Rutledge, Baseball Coach, La Salle College Prep High School
"The Car Ride Home captures the essence of one of life's most important lessons when mentoring youth, i.e., listening and empathizing before advising and correcting. Listen first, speak second, and speak at an emotionally neutral time. Time, tone and place matter."
Greg Anderson, Int’l Sales and Product Design, Jugs Sports
"As a Dad, coach, and former college baseball player, this book really hit home with me. The Car Ride Home is a must read for all Dads, Moms and coaches of youth in any sport."
Rob Michael, Former George Mason University, Pitcher, So. Cal Little League and Travel Ball Coach, Multi-Media Personality and Consultant
