Coaching Baseball Technical and Tactical Skills (Technical and Tactical Skills Series) (Original PDF from Publisher)

Baseball skills and drills are the subject of numerous coaching publications. However, very few focus on the game’s tactical abilities, which are the situational choices made by coaches and players that frequently decide game outcomes. Among the baseball titles available today, Coaching Baseball Technical and Tactical Skills stands out for this reason.

Coaching Baseball Technical and Tactical Skills, written by the American Sport Education Program (ASEP) in collaboration with Tom O’Connell, a 30-year veteran coach and 2004 American Baseball Coaches Association Coach of the Year, helps you become a better instructor and game tactician. Technical skills—such as hitting, throwing, and fielding—are examined in depth, as well as the tactical skills—such as hit-and-run, double-steal, and double-play defenses—that so many other books pitch around. Nearly 180 photos and illustrations bring the basic to intermediate technical skills to life, while sample season and practice plans help you in your preparation. With Coaching Baseball Technical and Tactical Skills, you have a resource you can rely on to take you down the base paths to coaching success.

ASEP’s Bronze Level coaching certification program consists of the Coaching Baseball Technical and Tactical Skills online course, Coaching Principles, Sport First Aid, and CPR certification. The book is endorsed by the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) and is a companion resource for the course.
