Three years following their 2023 Little League World Series triumph, coach Danny Boehle is collaborating on a book that documents his team's journey and the lessons derived from it. "Second to None: A Coach's Message of Love and Selflessness Propels Tiny El Segundo to a Dramatic Little League World Title" chronicles the 2023 12-U All-Stars World Series championship and the values that drove the players to victory. Boehle aims for the book to serve as a lasting tribute to the players, families, and community.

Boehle and co-author Dan Coonan, El Segundo native and CEO of the Eastern College Athletic Conference, worked together to bring the story to life. Coonan emphasizes that winning a championship for a small town like El Segundo is a rare and extraordinary achievement. The book delves into the team's run, including a 6-5 World Series win secured by a walk-off home run.

The authors highlight that the championship was not just about winning the game, but about the love, selflessness, and belief in each other that characterized the team's journey. Coach Boehle's coaching approach, characterized by his constant encouragement and praise for the players, played a significant role in their success. The book captures this spirit, with Boehle regularly expressing his pride and love for the players.

The book is available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. For Boehle, the true measure of his coaching impact lies in the life lessons imparted to the young athletes. He aims to make a positive difference in their lives and equip them with valuable life skills.
