Coach of the Year...Every Yearİ is not an honor reserved for those who win the most games: It's a designation that all who coach can win.  There is no trophy or medal awarded, simply the self-satisfaction that a Coach did everything they could to make a positive difference in a child's life.

Coach John Devine has taken the most provocative, controversial and thought-provoking questions posed to him over 25 years of coaching and 8 years of presenting and compiled them into a simple guidebook for parents and coaches.  He literally addresses the ABC's of coaching and parenting the youth athlete with thoughtful and common sense answers to questions on a myriad of subjects.
