Book Description
The way to becoming a professional ballplayer is not an easy one. So many factors are out of a player's control. He must concern himself with the things he can control and the things he can do to improve his play, and thus give himself at least the chance to succeed. The author of this work draws from his personal experiences and his former teammates' experiences to help the average player make the most of the talent he has and to make smart decisions on and off the field. The book covers the fundamentals and finer points of pitching, fielding, hitting, catching, base running, and playing the outfield. It also covers strength training and conditioning, the importance of good grades to high school and college baseball, catching the attention of coaches and scouts, selecting the right college, playing at the college level, dealing with coaches, parental involvement and support, the draft, and the world of professional baseball.

A Delphi Study

Category : Baseball players
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
Professional baseball players, often drafted at 18 years of age, are not commonly exposed to education beyond high school. When players leave major or minor league baseball (MLB), no career transition assistance program exists if their career is cut short or their professional potential is not realized. The purpose of this mixed-method study was to develop a career transition model for professional baseball players to support their transition into professional sports retirement and their next venture.This study examined the resources that: (1) prepare professional baseball players for transitioning into their next career or life; (2) identify the factors that play a role in the career transition of professional baseball players, and (3) reference current working models in professional sports or other industries that could rely on the application to transitioning from professional baseball. The study reviewed the organizational factors in baseball starting from the draft; discussed the length of a players' career and earning potential; depicted the realities of frequently abbreviated careers; investigated post-playing career preparation using sport-specific models that currently exist.This mixed-methods study drew on the expert opinions of those who work alongside baseball players. The study leveraged the Delphi technique, a forecasting method that relies on a panel of experts. In this study, the Delphi method included a three-round series of questions completed by a panel of 27 experts to establish a framework to serve as a model for baseball players transitioning out of their playing careers. This framework provided a basis for a career transition program implemented from the onset of a professional baseball player's career to their career exit.
How Money Walks - How $2 Trillion Moved Between the States, and Why It Matters
Author: Travis H. BrownPublisher: How Money Walks
ISBN: 0988740117
Category : Income tax
Languages : en
Pages : 153
Book Description
Between 1995 and 2010, millions of Americans moved between the states, taking with them over $2 trillion in adjusted gross incomes. Two trillion dollars is equivalent to the GDP of California, the ninth largest in the world. It’s a lot of money. Some states, like Florida, saw tremendous gains ($86.4 billion), while others, like New York, experienced massive losses ($58.6 billion). People moved, and they took their working wealth with them. The question is, why? Why did Americans move so much of their income from state to state? Which states benefitted and which states suffered? And why does it matter? Using official statistics from the IRS, How Money Walks explores the hows, whys, and impact of this massive movement of American working wealth. Consider these facts. Between 1995 and 2010: The nine states with no personal income taxes gained $146.2 billion in working wealth The nine states with the highest personal income tax rates lost $107.4 billion The 10 states with the lowest per capita state-local tax burdens gained $69.9 billion The 10 states with the highest per capita state-local tax burdens lost $139 billion Money—and people—moved from high-tax states to low-tax ones. And the tax that seemed to matter the most? The personal income tax. The states with no income taxes gained the greatest wealth, while the states with the highest income taxes lost the most. Why does this matter? Because the robust presence of working wealth is the leading indicator of economic health. The states that gained working wealth are growing and thriving. The states that lost working wealth lost their most precious cargo—their tax base—and the consequences are dire: stagnation, deterioration, an economic death spiral as they continue to raise taxes and lose people, businesses, and working wealth. The numbers don't lie. ___________________ “When I read How Money Walks, I thought, ‘It’s about time.’ Finally, we have a book that addresses one of our nation’s most critical (yet rarely discussed) fiscal issues: the migration of working wealth as a direct result of personal income tax rates. Brown’s book paints a clear portrait of where money goes and why. How Money Walks should be required reading for anyone who wants to understand why some states struggle to retain people and businesses while others welcome billions of new dollars each year.” Dr. Arthur Laffer Founder and chairman, Laffer Associates and Laffer Investments Former economic advisor to President Ronald Reagan
