The Hitting Coach for the New York Yankees, Kevin Long trains power-hitters in the fine art of hitting a baseball wella talent the legendary Ted Williams once called, the most difficult skill in sport. In Cage Rat, the man who helps sharpen the mechanics of such superstars as Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, and Alex Rodriguez shares the expertise he honed over his more than two decades in the game as both player and coach. With an introduction by Alex Rodriguez and an Afterword by Robinson Cano, Cage Rat is an indispensable guide to hitting, filled with practical advice, fascinating behind-the-scenes action, and an enduring, inspiring love for the Great American Pastime.

This message is concerned with approaches to pupil engagement and learning that stem from connected and relevant use of Outdoor Adventurous learning interventions. First and foremost, this collection of essays is concerned with values, specifically encouraging prosocial and humanitarian values in learning. By enabling students to find a greater connection we allow them to embrace their learning and make valuable contributions to nature and community. Connecting classrooms with the purpose of a greater cause impels deeper learning - itself an education for the whole child. When, through collaborative effort, we realise the potential in others and the greater good when all-together, we are moved deeply. Insights occur that lights up the latent potential within ourselves. This is Awe in action.
