The touching story of Dick and Rick Hoyt will inspire you to be the best parent you can be. Coach Nick Pezzuto offers 10 essential tips to make you a better coach, and Brian Gotta makes a case for the "old-fashioned" way of choosing youth league teams.

We should mention that CoachDeck for Basketball will be available to purchase October 1st, so feel free to spread the word to all the hardwood coaches you know. Also, we welcome a new sponsor, Cleatskins, who produce a remarkable product - the likes of which you've never seen. As always we hope you enjoy this issue of On Deck and will share it with others.
