Product Description
A practical, provocative, and comprehensive guide for parents who want to ensure that their children get the most out of all their sports experiences, The Sports Parenting Edge takes a fresh, resolutely positive approach to a popular subject. Parents and coaches today, according to author Rick Wolff, do not want to be lectured anymore about the problems inherent in youth sports. Rather, they want to learn how to work around the pitfalls of out-of-control parents, how to deal with win-at-all-costs coaches, and in short, how to make certain that their children enjoy sports and have the opportunity to develop their full athletic potential. A must for parents of children from kindergarten age through high school, this book also includes a frank discussion of college recruitment issues.

 A teriffic book... June 19, 2007
This is a terrific book which speaks to all the important issues faced by parents who want to help their kids within all the athletic programs available today. I was clueless when my kids started playing sports, and I learned a lot from Wolff's book. When I was young, Little League was nearly all you had to think about, and the decisions were easy.

This book does give some keen insights into sports parenting, especially where it talks about travel teams and your child's chances for for a sports scholarship.
If you are familiar with Rick Wolff's work (Coaching Kids for Dummies, or some of his magazine articles), this book also covers the some of the same topics. These include the PGA (post-game analysis), dealing with your child's coach, and avoiding pushing your kid too much.
