In baseball there is a saying that the more you learn and understand the game, the more you will appreciate and enjoy it.
在棒球界有这样一个说法，当你越深入学习和了解这项运动，你就会越喜欢它，越能享受它带给你的乐趣。
Who enjoys baseball the most? Is it the players who compete in the field who have the opportunity to be involved with all the big and little parts that make up the whole game? Is it the fans who observe the game as it develops before them between two teams of talented players? Or, is it the coaches who participate in and observe the competition, and also analyze, teach, and transmit the legacy of the game to their players?
谁最享受棒球这项运动呢？是参与整场球赛上大大小小每个精彩部分的的野手吗？是为了两支球队优秀球员的精彩表现而兴奋得飞起来的粉丝们吗？或者说是日复一日训练球员，分析对手，在场上用策略安排球员与对手展开力量角逐的教练呢？
Having experienced the game in each of these three roles, I believe that coaches have the ultimate opportunity to enjoy the great game of baseball. But to do so requires an investment of time and energy, a thirst for knowledge, and the willingness and ability to communicate.
这三种角色都能深深体会这项运动，我相信教练们是最享受球赛中的精彩时刻的。欲戴王冠，必承其重；想要享受这项运动，就一定要对它无比投入。教练这一角色往往是这样的：渴求掌握更多棒球知识以及时时刻刻与球员保持良好的沟通，这都必须投入大量的时间精力。
As you read The Baseball Coaching Bible, you will be struck by how deeply each of the contributing coaches immersed themselves into their respective chapters in covering every facet of the game. You will also be impressed by the genuine respect and love each author has for the game, as well as their sense of responsibility to share what they learned for the benefit of others.
当你读到这本书的时候，你一定会深深沉浸在每一章节，仿佛每个章节都是不同的教练们站在你面前为你讲述这项运动。这本书涵盖了关于棒球这项运动的方方面面，每一章节的内容都是有所成就的教练们的毕生所学。
In the Introduction, Dave Keilitz writes about the very special opportunity we have to positively influence the passion of coaches who have made the most of that opportunity, in their own unique ways. Relish this direct access and draw all you can from these great baseball minds.
本书的说明部分是Dave Keilitz 撰写的，指导你如何用适合你自己的方式被教练们对这项运动的热忱和沉淀积极影响。这本书的每一章节都是访谈的形式，希望读者能喜欢。希望这本书中的“棒球思维”能被大家吸收并运用到别的领域，甚至生活中的方方面面。
If you are a veteran coach you will connect with many of the insights and stories in the pages that follow.

不积硅步无以至千里，忽略任何文中的小片段都有可能降低你获胜的概率。《棒球教练圣经》深度剖析棒球运动，不放过任何一个小细节，一步一步巧妙地建立了棒球中制胜的蓝图。
