"The Encyclopedia of Sports Parenting" by Dan Doyle
"The beauty of The Encyclopedia of Sports Parenting is that it is as sensitive as it is comprehensive. Any father or mother with a child athlete can find both wisdom and guidance in Dan Doyle's book. The work is especially valuable, I believe, because it is as thoughtful in dealing with the ethics of sport from someone who cares about them, as it is in offering simple, down-to-earth practical advice from someone who understands the territory so very well."
-Frank Deford, Sports Illustrated
