St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Matheny's New York Times bestselling manifesto about what parents, coaches, and athletes get wrong about sports; what we can do better; and how sports can teach eight keys to success in sports and life. Mike Matheny was just forty-one, without professional managerial experience and looking for a next step after a successful career as a Major League catcher, when he succeeded the legendary Tony La Russa as manager of the St. Louis Cardinals in 2012. While Matheny has enjoyed immediate success, leading the Cards to the postseason four times in his first four years−a Major League record−people have noticed something else about his life, something not measured in day-to-day results. Instead, it’s based on a frankly worded letter he wrote to the parents of a Little League team he coached, a cry for change that became an Internet sensation and eventually a “manifesto.” The tough-love philosophy Matheny expressed in the letter contained his throwback beliefs that authority should be respected, discipline and hard work rewarded, spiritual faith cultivated, family made a priority, and humility considered a virtue. In The Matheny Manifesto, he builds on his original letter by first diagnosing the problem at the heart of youth sports−it starts with parents and coaches−and then by offering a hopeful path forward. Along the way, he uses stories from his small-town childhood as well as his career as a player, coach, and manager to explore eight keys to success: leadership, confidence, teamwork, faith, class, character, toughness, and humility. From “The Coach Is Always Right, Even When He’s Wrong” to “Let Your Catcher Call the Game,” Matheny’s old-school advice might not always be popular or politically correct, but it works. His entertaining and deeply inspirational book will not only resonate with parents, coaches, and athletes, it will also be a powerful reminder, from one of the most successful new managers in the game, of what sports can teach us all about winning on the field and in life.

Dear Baseball Gods, Why didn't you look out for him? Didn't he deserve better? He hustled, competed, and played the game the right way. What happened wasn't fair.

What had been the point of it all? Who was he?

Every good hitter is fighting a battle... Do you know what yours is and how to turn it to your advantage on the field? 3 out of every 4 appearances at the plate result in an out. You probably know this... so why are you doubting your skills? Self-doubt is natural in any sport, but in baseball, it can be detrimental to getting out of a hitting slump -- yet it affects so many players -- pros and weekenders alike. Former Colorado Rockies pitcher Jason Marquis knew this only too well. "You're out on the mound not trusting your stuff, waiting for the next bad thing to happen, instead of going out there and grabbing the bull by the horns," he said. And the same issue affects hitters: as soon as you start to doubt yourself, your approach is shaken, and you're stuck in a cycle of misses. You're focusing on what you're doing wrong rather than what you can do to improve your game -- and that isn't going to help you. Perhaps you think you need to work on your mechanics. Perhaps you're doubting your fitness or worrying that you should be training more. But more likely than not, none of this is true. What needs fixing is not your technique: it's your attitude. And it's through attitude that the greats took their place in the league tables. Think of Ichiro Suzuki or Rod Carew, both noted for their unusual form... it's not mechanics that make a great hitter: it's what else is going on behind that swing. To hit like a pro, you need to think like a pro -- and that means mastering a specific mental attitude as well as your physical technique. Sound like a lot to handle? If you love the game, it's not so hard -- you just need some expert guidance... and you're about to get it. In The Baseball Player's Guide to Hitting Like a Pro, you'll find a clear guide to improving your hitting technique without focusing on mechanics alone. You'll discover: The 7 key elements needed to build a strong foundation for good hitting Exactly what you can learn from MLB heroes like Pete Rose and Joe Morgan Why bench-time may not be such a bad thing -- and how you can use it to your advantage How to look beyond the field to improve your attitude (and why you should) The reason why it isn't just top hitters you should be learning from -- and who you should be looking at instead Swing fundamentals broken down into key elements -- so you know exactly what it is you should be working on How to make technique changes that don't ruin improvements you've already made to your swing Why confidence is just as problematic as self-doubt -- and what you can do to mitigate it if you're on a streak The power of 'Situational Spirit' -- what it is, and how to harness its power A clear path out of your slump so you can start ranking again And much more. If you've fallen into a slump and you're doubting your skills as a hitter, don't despair. Even the top players have been there... The difference is that they know a secret. It won't always be easy, but if you recognize that, you're already halfway there: get ready to learn that secret, and watch your ranking improve -- even when it feels like it never will. If you're ready to master the true technique of the pros and elevate your swing, then scroll up and click "Add to Cart" right now.
