Filled with insight and humor, Flea Flicker is a collection of essays written by Tim Hirschbeck, a first-time author from Buffalo, New York, who has spent the past 30 years coaching young athletes and raising two kids of his own. If you are a parent trying to steer your child through the competitive jungle of school and youth sports leagues; or a coach who is interested in becoming a better coach; or a mom or dad who looks at the games your child plays and wonders why they are so radically different than the games you played as a kid, Flea Flicker will feel like a phone call from an old friend.
