‘Stohlgren hits all the bases’ with DRAFT CHOICE, says the President of The Wiffle Ball, Inc.
Windsor, Colorado, November 15, 2012. Author Tom Stohlgren shows why it’s important for young athletes to hit the books as much as they hit baseballs. He coached his two boys in competitive baseball for over 16 years, and he funnels that experience into a fictional 18-year-old baseball star from Colorado, Max Redding, who is reported to be a top prospect in the Major League Baseball Amateur Draft. But what are Max’s plans if he doesn’t get drafted?
“Some young athletes don’t take their studies seriously,” says Stohlgren. “Many athletes don’t have a Plan B. It’s hard for them to realize that they have better odds at becoming great teachers, business leaders, doctors, or scientists, than they do becoming professional athletes.”
