Don't forget the Mental Aspect,
By
This review is from: Basketball Fundamentals: A Complete Mental Training Guide (Paperback)
Basketball Fundamentals is equally valuable to coaches and players of the game. This easy to read book help players and coaches understand WHY certain things happen. Why can't players afford to complain about reffing? Why can some players shoot well in practice and not in games? How can consistency be developed in players? In easy to read language, Jay Mikes not only offers answers to these question, but also solutions. This book will be required reading for my Varsity players.
