I've become a huge fan of Mike Matheny, current coach of the St. Louis Cardinals. The blog posts on his website, www.mikematheny.com, are just spot on in so many ways.
He's also known for his "Matheny Manifesto", which has gone viral since he wrote it. Though not everything is applicable to everybody, for me as a coach, I think it's something that every parent of every little leaguer should read.

Who are the Redwood City Cardinals?
The mission of the Redwood City Cardinals is to have a team that is competitive,
and with a relentless focus on mastering the fundamentals, good sportsmanship,
and having fun. This team is ALL about the boys and their love of the great game of baseball.
As in any sport, our goal is to win, but at the same time we are not trying to be an ‘elite’ team, or a powerhouse team, or a ‘win at all costs’ team – but we’d rather develop the boys to be good at the sport while having fun at the same time.
We are now a U9/U10 team, and are about to enter our second year of competition in summer tournament ball. We have a great bunch of kids on our team who love the game, are good at it, and play really well together.
