It will absolutely inspire a young child as well as any parent to cultivate character to make a positive difference in the world. As a coach in the Babe Ruth League, I believe this book is a must-read for any player and parent."" -Anthony Vitale, DC, parent and chiropractor ""In reading, Honor the Diamond, I saw an instinctive ability of the Speech Ump to bring out the best in young people, by guiding them when they needed it most to dig deep within themselves to overcome the challenges that confronted them. He launches them successfully through their difficulties and into their life's journey with confidence. Honor the Diamond truly delivers its message: the development of true character. It's a potent, inspiring read for any age."" -Ron L Glazier, USMC Veteran ""Baseball has always been a game that teaches life lessons, but today's game has gotten away from teaching them. This book is a must-read on how parents, coaches, players, and umpires should approach the game and its value in teaching the players of today. The person you are is more important than the game being played.""--Eric Vernon, Cal Ripken coach and parent" Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
