In The Matheny Manifesto, Mike Matheny builds on the letter he wrote to the parents of the youth league he coached, that became an Internet phenomenon. Diagnosing the problem at the heart of sports--starting with parents and coaches--he offers a hopeful path forward. Along the way, he uses stories from his small-town childhood, as well as his career as a player, coach, and manager, to explore eight keys to success: leadership, confidence, teamwork, faith, class, character, toughness, and humility.
