Highly recommended March 30, 2008
I am a volunteer youth sports coach, and am a big fan of Michele Smith. I've always believed that sports participation teaches kids so many valuable lessons in life. And this book does a great job crystallizing how lessons learned on the field mirror those needed to succeed in school and life. The book is highly organized (with separate chapters on leadership, second chances, opportunity, perseverance and others), and fun for parents and kids to read. I love how the book teaches kids to think outside the box. For example, in the opportunity chapter, it talks not only about how to make the most of opportunities, it also talks about how to create new opportunities. The photos and drawings were fun also. I highly recommend this book.

I highly recommend this book. One of my students who is a softball player showed me this book, and I was so impressed by the book's message that I decided to put the book on our required reading list for our middle schoolers. I think the book's chapters on leadership, perseverance, teamwork, community service, etc. teach our kids that success and self-esteem are based on achievement and character, rather than popularity.
 Don't Waste Your Money ! March 28, 2008
When I first saw that Michele Smith had written a book about softball I was very excited. She is one of the best fastpitch softball pitchers to ever play the game. However, It becomes apparent within the first few pages that Smith had little, if anything to do with the actual writing of this book. It's simply another case of a celebrity lending their name to a project that they really have little involvment with. While I am sure Smith has read the book herself and no doubt approved it's contents, it seems to be lacking any input from Smith herself. So if you want to know what Lawrence Hsieh's ideal of good softball cheer is, by all means read this book. If however you want to read a book by Michele Smith, well I guess you'll just have to wait because this isn't it.
