Raising a Baseball Player

Almost every mother dreams about her son becoming a doctor or a lawyer. How many moms dream of their son becoming a professional baseball player? Diamond Moms, A Mother?s Guide to Raising a Baseball Player is a new book that teaches moms about raising their sons in the world of baseball. The book is scheduled for release in January 2006 and it covers baseball from t-ball to college and beyond.

The book was written with the intention of educating moms on the ins-and-outs of a male dominated sport, it offers comprehensive information ranging in practical subjects such as equipping your son for the sport or providing baseball terminology for moms who are new to baseball to the emotional side of the game and how that influences parenting and coaching behavior.

Author Candace Conradi has four children ranging in ages from 20 to 33. Her active involvement in her son?s baseball journey gave her access to many coaches, players, and scouts who willingly provided valuable information for her book. Diamond Moms can be preordered from Coaches Choice at 888-229-5745 and will be available early January, 2006. Chapter summaries are available on listed website.
