EVERYTHING I KNOW I LEARNED FROM BASEBALL is a collection of inspiring and amusing life lessons drawn from the baseball and softball diamonds. The author, a third-generation baseball coach, creates a "Life Strategies Lineup," with nine keys to finding success and happiness: ATTITUDE, PREPARATION, FOCUS, CHARACTER, DISCIPLINE, COOPERATION, COURAGE, GROWTH, INDEPENDENCE. The book also includes over 40 inspirational quotes from well-known baseball personalities and others.

Perfect for coaches, baseball moms and dads, and young adults who want to get back to what is really important about the game that means so much to them - good sportsmanship, doing one's best, cooperation, and teamwork. The parallels between life and baseball are clear to those who enjoy the game, and this book uses the fundamentals of good baseball and softball to help ballplayers and parents map out a path towards success and happiness both on the field, and more importantly, at school, at the job, and at home and in relationships.

Industry Reviews

"Baseball is played with the lines; life should be played within the lines of civility, order and purpose. But often we go afoul of the lines and need coaching. Philip Theibert is literally our life coach in his charming and resourceful book. Here are the rules to live by whether on or off the diamond with chapters on attitude, preparation, focus, and character, etc., highlighting that your actions have consequences. Such chapters delightfully describe different aspects of the game reflected by a wise and gentle tutor. Theibert is a most able student of the game of baseball, and of the game of life, and if you want to improve your skills drop this book into your lineup card."

"A handsomely packaged hardcover book of anecdotes and quotes for the baseball lover in your life, this collection is a fun read full of funny and inspirational moments. Not necessary to be a die hard baseball fan to enjoy. A great read!"

"This is a great book for baseball history lovers. It's filled with quotes from the hall of famers that can be applied to everyday life. This breezy read is the perfect gift for the baseball fan who could use a little self-help inspiration."
