This memoir in the form of a manifesto draws its origins from a letter Matheny wrote to parents who asked him to coach a local youth baseball team. In it, he laid firm ground rules not only for how the team would operate but also how parents would participate. The letter went viral and has been touted as a vision of how youth sports in the United States can be improved. Matheny, a former major league catcher and current manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, expands on topics found in the manifesto, using experiences from his childhood and coaching career. He suggests ways youth sports could be made more enjoyable for children while aiming to improve their skills. He also takes moments to talk about how his experiences and views of sports can be used to create a more fulfilling and peaceful life. VERDICT Matheny does a lot of, "I don't claim to have all the answers, but" which is usually a qualifying statement that comes before acting like you have all the answers. Still, he has a proven method to improve youth sports, and a lot of his views on life come from famed college basketball coach John Wooden.--Matt Schirano, Magnus Wahlstrom Lib., Bridgeport, CT
