In 2008, some local parents approached current St. Louis Cardinals manager, Mike Matheny about coaching their youth baseball team the following spring. One night, he wrote a long letter to the parents outlining guidelines and rules that would have to be in place if he were to manage the team, a team that would include his ten-year-old son. The letter began… Dear Fellow Parents: I’ve always said I would coach only a team of orphans. Why? Because the biggest problem in youth sports is the parents. The letter eventually became the book, The Matheny Manifesto, an eye-opening, honest look at the role parents should play in today’s youth sports. The Parent Connection recently visited with Matheny, a Little League® father, to discuss his popular new book. Read the entire interview with Mike Matheny here…
