“I recommend
Playing Time to get a grasp on the challenges of time, money, and attitude in kids’ sports today. My dad encouraged me, never critiqued me, didn’t instruct me. Quinn Cotter reminds today’s generation of parents and coaches why that approach may work best.”
Jim Kaat
Former MLB Pitcher and Broadcaster
“Playing Time captures the very essence of youth sports. Any parent, coach, fan, or participant in youth sports should have this book in their library. Quinn’s real life experiences establish the foundation from which every youth sports program should be evaluated.”
Bob Bowlsby
Athletic Director, Stanford University
Quinn Cotter wrote Playing Time when he was just fifteen years old, but with ten years of experience as a student-athlete behind him. Now a freshman at Dickinson College, Cotter plays Division III Baseball. He has participated in youth sports since the age of five, he is the recipient of the Daniel C. Ammidon Citizenship Award, and he was recently selected as a Pinkard Scholar. Cotter has maintained perfect attendance since pre-school. In addition to school and sports, Cotter is involved with Green Grass, an organization that brings inner-city children to play on Gilman School’s fields, and the Baltimore County Police Department’s Youth Leadership Academy, which teaches kids responsible citizenship, respect, trust, community service, and life coping skills.
More than 50 million children participate in some form of youth sport, but nearly 73% will drop out by the time they are thirteen years old. Playing Time is the first book about youth sports written by the person affected by youth sports programs: the young athlete. Fifteen-year-old Quinn Cotter helps grown-ups help kids play better, play longer, and smile more.
