The Backyard Drills' solution allows children to succeed both on their chosen playing field and in the game of life! Additionally, it puts parents in a place to provide "coaching" to them at pivotal times, integrating the many benefits of establishing open communication and common ground into the increasing complexities and challenges of parenting in today's world.

All materials feature celebrity sports professionals as Backyard Drills Coaches giving hands-on visual instruction and motivation on DVD that will teach fathers how to coach and mentor their sons involved in, or desiring to become involved in both team and individual sports.

Every element of the Backyard Drills^® solution has been specifically developed and geared toward parental vs. professional audiences. However, the session structure and individual sessions have been designed and are lead by professional athletes who know the importance and value of a solid set of fundamentals both on and off the field!

Through an innovative and patent-pending methodology, the Backyard Drills^® "Pro with Parent and Child™" approach employs professional athletes to "coach" parents in the communication and interaction techniques required to be comfortable teaching fundamental athletic skills and character development techniques in the privacy of their own backyard or park environment.

Increasing the Significance of Fathers

The world is eagerly awaiting a new image to symbolize the role that the leader of a family should assume in today's world and that image is the father as the "Head Coach" of their family. This allows fathers to share an area of mutual interest while establishing "common ground" with their children, and also assuming a role of respect and authority. Through assuming the role of being the "Head Coach" of the family, fathers will also develop a broader foundation of communication and deepen bonds that can be expanded outside of the area of sports and athletics, just like successful Head Coaches of professional sports teams.

By helping their children become healthier and better competitors in a chosen sport, parents will be improving their chances for success in life. By promoting a healthy lifestyle, initiating outdoor activities and promoting mutual learning, they will foster environments that encourage the interaction necessary to forge meaningful bonds and lifelong memories between themselves and their children.

When parents share the BYD^® solution with their children, they will be improving their chances for success both on and off the field. By promoting a healthy lifestyle and enjoying outdoor activities together; parents will be creating environments that encourage the interaction necessary to forge powerful lifelong bonds between themselves and their children in the following ways:

• The BYD^® approach delivers better, competitive athletes both physically and mentally. Parents want their sons and daughters to be winners; both on and off the field, and for them to play an important role on their teams. With Backyard Drills^®, every kid has the opportunity to be coached at any time and show up for the first day of practice playing better than ever before.
  
  Now every parent can coach their young athlete; giving them the "inside advantage" normally reserved for the children of youth sports coaches or Pro players.
  
  Additionally, through Backyard Drills' focus on character development, self esteem and confidence building, your children will be better equipped for all the challenges they will face both on and off the field.
  
  Now, every parent can feel the exhilaration of having his kid look up into the stands or to the sidelines after a great play with a huge smile, a big thumbs up, and a look in their eye that says, "Thanks Mom or Dad! I'm here because we did this together. You rock!"
   
• The BYD^® approach increases parental significance in key areas of their children's lives. Parents are role models at all times whether they are conscious of it or not! With all of the access that children have today to the outside influences of media celebrities, sports figures, peer groups and the Internet, it is easier than ever for the stature of a parent to get diluted, if not lost entirely.
  
  Even in today's fast paced, technology-driven world, sports still serves as a foundation of "common ground" upon which a greater level of parental relevance, communication and relevance can be developed. This is at the heart of the BYD^® approach.
  
  More importantly, through the time you will spend together developing improved athletic skills; you will have also established the means of communication to ensure that they never make important life decisions without coming to you for "coaching" first! You will have paved the way for a lifetime of "successful coaching assignments"!
   
• The BYD^® approach establishes a solid foundation of character traits and self esteem. Deterring high-risk behaviors such as, such as sex, drugs, alcohol, tobacco and violence can be the most important choice that children make in their lives. Through sharing the fun, skills, structure and disciplines of the Backyard Drills^® sports series, you will develop the character traits, confidence and self esteem in your children to say "no" to destructive behaviors and rise above the peer pressure sometimes associated with such choices.
   
• The BYD^® approach provides the knowledge and motivation to avoid at risk behaviors. Two of the most powerful documented deterrents against children adopting at risk behaviors is parental involvement and successful involvement in sports. Backyard Drills^® is the first and only company to deliver a complete solution that provides a toolset and methodology that encourages and enables both.
  
  When children have the incentive and motivation to be physically fit, focus on good diet and nutritional habits and possess the desire to excel at sports, they are far less susceptible to the allure of at risk behaviors. When this is combined with the support of their parents and ongoing communication, trust and respect, a solid foundation has been laid for a lifetime of successes both on and off the field.
   
• The BYD^® approach increases the frequency, fun and fortitude of family recreation. The word "recreation" can be broken down to "re-creation". Today, more than ever, parents are looking for ways to recreate their families and find more opportunities to spend time together.
  
  Be it a competitive sport or an outdoor activity like hiking, camping or fishing, Backyard Drills^® enables parents to be comfortable promoting and participating in quality family time that provides ongoing opportunities for fun, exercise, discussion, interaction, and personal growth.
  
  By promoting a healthy lifestyle, initiating outdoor activities and promoting learning and quality time together, parents will foster the environments that encourage the interaction necessary to forge meaningful bonds and lifelong memories between themselves and their children.

Something must be done to put parents in a place to provide coaching to children at pivotal times, establish open communication and common ground and minimize the complexities and challenges of parenting in today’s world.  Now, with Backyard Drills^®, you are in a position to do it!
