This is one of the best book proposals I've read in a long time; the author has given me permission to post it here as a guide that you can use.

TITLE: What it really takes to be a champion
The proven, yet elusive strategies for coaching championship baseball teams of any age group.  (Beyond how to hit, catch, and throw? what it really takes to be a champion)


AUDIENCE: (How-To / Self-Help - Sports)
The audience for this book is baseball coaches who coach kids ages 5-18.  These coaches are involved with community type leagues such as "Little League" and "Babe Ruth League" baseball programs.


ABOUT THE BOOK AND ITS NEED:
There are approximately 3.4 million kids between the ages of 5-18 playing baseball in various community leagues in every city and state in this country.  Heading up the some 250,000+ teams are approximately 750,000+ coaches whom are responsible for helping these kids construct a solid foundation for success in baseball, yet have very little coaching skills, if any at all.

When a person, usually a father, takes on the role of coach, what experience does he have and what resources are available to help him be a successful coach?  Coaches all across the country usually rely on the same two sources for help.  One is past playing experience and the other is to read the numerous books written about such things as how to pitch better, how to hit better, how to play defense, and other how to do something better books.  There are plenty of resources for teaching the fundamentals of baseball, but what lacks are resources for how to build true championship players and teams - the part of the game that goes beyond hitting, catching, and throwing a baseball.

This book will go beyond the fundamentals of baseball and educate coaches about the heart of a championship team.  My readers will learn:
1) strategies that will enable them to construct a unified team whose heart beats as one,
2) to create a fun environment where the kids never want practice to end,
3) to create a team with such respect and honor that the kids will do whatever it takes to not disappoint the coaches or other teammates, and will support each other under any circumstance,
4) to use the parents to strengthen the team atmosphere,
5) how to use practices as a time to practice being a champion,
6) and, gaming strategies championship teams use to win games.

Playing sports often exposes young athletes to many great life lessons.  What they learn about teamwork, attitude, and self-confidence often stays with them their entire lives.  This book will be a great resource to help coaches provide the best life lesson of all...what it really takes to be a champion.


MARKETING INFORMATION:
According to "Little League" and "Babe Ruth League" baseball, there are approximately 250,000+ teams between the two leagues.  Teams usually consist of at least three coaches thus putting our targeted market at 750,000+ coaches whom have no other means of obtaining the information provided in my proposed book.  By directly marketing the book to the leagues from the top of the organizations down to the local communities, marketing in baseball equipment catalogs, and at baseball schools/camps, we can fully expect to reach most of our intended market.

This book can be competitively priced between $15-$20 and do quite well against its competitors due to the interest of the How-To / Self-Help baseball market and the fact that my book will offer something no other
book has yet to offer.

Following are a few titles of my competition.  As I had mentioned, these books simply cover the fundamentals of baseball.  As can be seen from this partial list of competitive books currently on the market, the market for these types of books is strong.  Since my book will be covering a different angle than my competitors, we should expect great success in this market.
"Maximizing Baseball Practice"; John Winkin, et al
"Baseball Defensive Drills"; Rod Delmonico
"Offensive Baseball Drills"; Rod Delmonico, Tommy Lasorda  "Play Better Baseball: Winning Techniques and Strategies for Coaches and Players"; Bob Cluck
"Coaching Baseball Successfully" by Andy Lopez, John Kirkgard (Contributor)   "How to Hit/How to Pitch : A Complete Self-Coaching System for Winning
Baseball"; Bob Cluck  "Science of Coaching Baseball (Science of Coaching Series)"; Jerry Kindall(Editor)
"Coaching Pitchers"; Joe Spanky McFarland  "Baseball Coach's Survival Guide : Practical Techniques and Materials for Building an Effective Program and a Winning Team"; by Jerry Weinstein, Tom Alston


THE AUTHOR:
My name is Jimmie Butler, Jr. and this book will be my first published piece of work.  I have been living in Clearwater, FL for the past year and work as a Technical Consultant for a Securities Brokerage firm.  Prior to
that, I lived in Winchester, VA where I enjoyed six years of tremendous coaching success from 1990-1996.  I never had a child who was playing, I merely coached for the love of teaching kids to excel beyond their dreams.  In fact, I chose to coach over trying to pursue a playing career for myself because I knew I could help the game more by being a mentor than a struggling player.

I am qualified to write this book for a couple of reasons.  One, I was the type of community league coach I will be targeting.  I know how the leagues work, what the coaches go through, and what they need.  Secondly, I was very successful using the strategies I will provide my readers.  In my six years of coaching:
1) My teams won seventy-five percent of all games - the best Major League teams win about sixty percent
2) In my best year, I took an athletically challenged team that was expected to finish last to an 18-1 season winning both the regular season championship and the playoff championship.  We won nine games by the "10-run slaughter rule" and on seven occasions came from behind 3+ runs late in the game to win
3) We won 2 regular season championships and 1 playoff championship
4) and, was asked to coach 4 all-star teams which won sixty-five percent of their games.


CURRENT STATUS OF THE BOOK:
The outline for this book is currently in progress and you are the seventh agency I have approached.  I will be submitting queries to other agencies over the next few weeks as I search for a mutually beneficial agency relationship.

Your review and consideration is greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Jimmie Butler, Jr.

11 WAYS TO TRANSFORM PLR ARTICLES, SMALL REPORTS & EBOOKS INTO COLD, HARD CASH
Content makes the world go round. At least in the “world wide web” it does. The problem is that it’s darned hard to sit and write content all day, and it’s expensive to hire someone else to write it. So, what’s an Internet Marketer to do? Private Label Rights (PLR) to the Rescue! If you're working online, you've likely heard buzz about PLR or “Private Label Rights” content. If not, where have you been hiding? ;) If you aren't familiar with PLR products, basically they are digital items (articles, ebooks, etc.) that are provided in a file that you can edit and use in various ways. How's that for vague? The reason the description is so vague is that PLR content can be found in many forms:  Here is the download page..

The Casablanca SecretGood writing is often designed around a character who has a distorted vision of himself or of the world. During the story, he is placed under sufficient pressure to force an epiphany, a moment of clarity in which, he sees the world as it is, not as he wished it to be.

Use Your Words To Sell Your Products:  Now you can make the words in your sales copy surge like an arsenal of power tools. When you use the right words in the right place they have the ability to entice a prospect, hold the attention of the potential buyer, and ultimately result in the establishment of a relationship that not only results in a sale today, but helps to create other sales activity in the future.

At the same time, words also have the power to turn away potential clients, make people feel unappreciated, and ultimately lead to not only the loss of a sale today, but also the loss of sales opportunities in the future.

On the web that is very definitely NOT TRUE.  Writers on the web can change the ending of each story twice a day, or even change it every time a new visitor comes, according to whether it is a man, woman, or child visiting, or some other criteria entirely.

On the web you can go on improving your story any time and every time you feel like it.  You can have your own web site and rearrange each page in it as often as you like.  You can change the links and the navigation system as often as you like.  If you aren't getting paid enough you can find better advertisers.
