Super Simple Baseball Coaches Guide
to Coach Youth Baseball

Discover in baseball coaches guide every strategy and secret I’ve learned from years of coaching, playing, managing and player development in pro ball to T-ball levels.

Hi, I’m baseball developer Dave ‘Skip’ Holt.

There are hundreds of tips you can use to make a magnificent difference in your success as a youth baseball coach and high school baseball coach.

“Super Simple Guide to Coach Youth Baseball” shares everything I have learned about maximizing ballplayers talents and abilities.

I’ve compiled my years of baseball coaching experiences, tips, research, observations, mistakes, and successes into this book.

It is a step-by-step guide for beginning coaches and veteran coaches to help you have a great experience in developing baseball players.

How Did I Find Out These Strategies for Coaching Youth Baseball?

I spent 11 seasons learning, developing and training prospects how to reach the major leagues and three more seasons managing in the pro independent leagues.

I began to work with youth league players, college players and coaches all year around. I was able to bring the professional baseball development model to youth baseball, which unfortunately uses the win-at-all-costs model too often.

Here’s One Example of the Results I Got Using the Strategies I Go Over in this Book

Recently I was able to refine my player development approach at the high school level. Spending four seasons developing a doormat high school team into a District Champion and putting all the strategies to work was a real testimony to my developmental approach.

The Varsity team won only three games the year before I arrived. Despite playing up in the Division I large schools we were able to make the play-offs the very first season. Three seasons later we were District Champions. Steady improvement happened each season implementing the coaching techniques, drills and skills in our books.

I did not write this baseball coaches guide to brag and put myself on a pedestal, but to give you a solid example of the results I have been getting using the tips and techniques that I discuss for you in the book.

I have tested and refined these coaching strategies so that they will help work for you and your players and their families.

Most of the information in this book is from my own experiences and is not published anywhere else.

“Super Simple Guide to Coach Youth Baseball” is your complete 72-page, 8”x11”step-by-step achievement guide to get your baseball team up and running successfully regardless of the age group or affiliation organization.

You don’t have to spin your wheels or copycat the other win-at-all-costs coaches to learn the right mindset needed to develop baseball players. I have already done that for you.
