I am a self published author of "The Car Ride Home" SEATTLE, WA – "The Car Ride Home" is so simple it's brilliant, brilliant because of the simple logic used to spell out Mom and Dad's job in youth sports, Guardian, Chauffer and Cheerleader. Brilliance is making sense out of chaos and providing a logical perspective and simple solution for solving it. In just sixty seven short pages author Mike Bergstrom has done that with this book. Over 25 million kid's play sports in America with 70% of them quitting by the age of 13. Why are they quitting? They are not having fun, top reasons they are not having fun are parents and coaches, too much stress, too much pressure. Purposely short and to the point this book is a gentle reminder of the things we as parents should already know but sometimes lose sight of. Unlike other books written on the role of parents in youth sports, "The Car Ride Home" uses humorous and entertaining stories mixed with heartfelt insight to identify and address the critical and key moments that can shape our children's youth sports experience. Aside from showing some areas that parents may need to work on, many parents come away from reading "The Car Ride Home" feeling encouraged and uplifted knowing that they are doing many things right.
