Parents and coaches sometimes aren’t the best partners on the field when it comes to youth sports. For Louisa Luisi, her parents were her best coaches in those formative years, especially when she would be thrown a curve. Even at age 30, she still finds herself turning to mom and dad for the best support.
Now the Northern New Jersey teacher is on a mission to spread a positive message to the younger set as author of the newly-published 24-page, hardcover picture book, “Your Best Coaches,” the story of a young baseball player who discovers his best coaches and role models in life are his mother and father.
The Lincoln Park, Morris Co., N.J., resident and Ridgewood High School English teacher will be doing a book signing and fundraiser in the Lehigh Valley on Sat., Dec. 8, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Giacomo’s Italian Market & Grille, 700 Cattell St., in Easton’s College Hill section.
