Softball
by Dr. Chad Peters
The perfect first softball book for kids who love to play.
Know Your Game: Softball makes learning the sport simple, exciting, and fun. With bold illustrations and clear, kid-friendly language, this book breaks down the basics—from positions and plays to scoring and strategy.
Whether your child is picking up a glove for the first time or already sliding into second, this book helps them see the game in a whole new way.
Created by sports chiropractor and coach Dr. Chad Peters, this book is more than just a rules guide—it’s a way to connect, spark conversation, and turn reading into part of the game.
Nearly a decade ago, my son began to show an interest in sports. He wanted to know the rules, the plays, and how the games really worked. As a dad, I saw an opportunity. I didn’t just want him to understand sports. I wanted him to fall in love with learning about them.
Even more than that, I wanted him to fall in love with reading.
So we started building this book series together.
Know Your Game: Softball is the first in a collection following the original mission. This kid-friendly, visually rich guide makes it easy to learn the game while secretly building reading confidence. It’s written for the kids who can’t sit still but can tell you the batting average of their favorite player. For the parents looking to turn car rides and bedtime into something meaningful. And for families who want to learn, cheer, and grow together.
Because when you give kids something they already love, reading doesn’t feel like a chore.
It feels like part of the game.
“‘This book does more than teach softball. It creates space for real conversations between parents and kids. By leaving just enough unsaid, it invites discovery, bonding, and lifelong connection through sports.” ”

I’m Chad Peters—a sports-based chiropractor, coach, author, and dad who’s obsessed with performance hacks and lifelong learning. After two decades in the clinic, I felt a tremendous pull to create. My work had become tedious and routine, and I needed more creativity in my life. Like many, I began by writing blogs, which soon evolved into a second career as a professional speaker, TV segment contributor, sporting event MC, and author of books. In this store, you’ll find books, guides, and resources packed with practical strategies that actually work, drawn from years of experience in the clinic, on the field, and raising athletes of my own. I have a passion for humor, performance, and athletics, and I love sharing insights that help others improve faster. Thanks for checking it out. I’m glad you’re here.
A guide to keeping your sanity while raising an active family.

Parenting is tough. It’s exhilarating, exhausting, and will make you laugh and cry all in the same day. My family was thriving, yet I often felt like I was losing. This book began the moment my wife told me, “Fix it.” So I set out to write the manual for parenting that I was searching for myself.
Every parent in history faces the same hurdles. There’s no reason each of us has to learn the same lessons alone. Parenting From Out of Bounds was written to make the rollercoaster ride of parenting less scary and a whole lot more fun. Sometimes it is as simple as seeing it from a new angle.
