"Teach Your Kid..." PROVIDES A SIMPLE 8 STEP PROCESS to parents and coaches on how to teach children to hit a baseball or softball. It is a process that will dramatically increase the chances of any child to make contact with the ball.

Kevin Gallagher designed this book to convince the vast audience of parents that they, regardless of their background, can teach their child to hit a baseball/softball.

The book is an easy read and is a story of the state of Baseball today. It describes the reasons that have contributed to the games declining popularity in America and the disappearing participation of America''s youth, with an emphasis on the flawed teaching of the Launch Angle or Lift Swing in MLB.

"Teach Your Kid..." will bring you to the inevitable conclusion that the only way to keep your child involved with the game is to have them hit the ball and have fun!
