Sermon on the Mound

About the Book

While spending twenty years traveling as both a coach and parent, I often found myself studying and writing Sunday devotionals to give as “chats” to my players. We didn’t limit the devotionals to our team; other teams, parents, officials, and coaches were invited to participate. Being away on Sundays doesn’t mean you have to miss a chance to learn about God and how He can use softball to teach a lesson and to draw others to Him. These devotionals can be taught in 20 minutes or less so that players can experience God’s love and lessons even when they are not at “church.”

She also coached for both recreational and travel softball programs. Both of her daughters played softball in Dothan City Schools and later in Division 1 colleges. Her oldest daughter, Kortney Cooper, played at Troy University. Her youngest daughter, Kasey Cooper, played at Auburn University and for the USA Women’s National Softball Team. Both she and her husband, Jeff, are still involved with softball as mentors to coaches, parents, and players. You can usually find the Coopers either on a softball field or in the bleachers cheering.
