“We can all learn from amazing stories of well-intentioned parents and coaches causing themselves some very embarrassing moments. Youth sports teach children how to win, lose and handle difficult situations. Parents should use the opportunity to teach our most precious youth these lessons the right way, rather than showing them how to rant and rave. I highly recommend this book!”

Wise Words from Brenda Hilton
“All youth organizations should ask, better yet require, parents and coaches to read this book. Randy shares amazingly scary stories from personal experiences of umpiring. People taking youth sports too seriously by involving themselves in officiating games are ruining it for all, especially the kids.”
—Brenda Hilton is Senior Director of Officiating for the Big Ten Conference.
