A great perspective..., Nov 15 2009
By David Maynard - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Water Polo the Y's Way (Paperback)
One of the sport's pioneers of starting women's water polo takes us to where he started to the present day, as he recalls his challenges and successes as the sport of not just water polo, but women's water polo grows. I have referred to Chuck Hines as the Johnny Appleseed of water polo. Wherever he went, he planted the seeds of water polo and just watched it grow. And whenever given the opportunity, he promoted the sport for ultimate growth. And its his dedication to his players and the sport of water polo, that has influenced so many lives. He says it is water polo they Y's way, but really, it's water polo the Hines' way. Great lessons scattered throughout and great examples of how one man continued to challenge his players to play at the next level, but also looked to grow the sport, break down the gender barriers, and represent the sport in an area that is not known for water polo. Read on and enjoy.

A well-written, entertaining book for anyone who competed in team sports as a kid, Sep 24 2009
By Natty M. Bond "Natty Moss Bond" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Water Polo the Y's Way (Paperback)
"Water Polo the Y's Way" offers readers an inside look at the philosophies, trials and triumphs that shaped Chuck Hines into a championship water polo coach at the local, regional, national and international levels, in a career spanning 50 years. Written in an entertaining, conversational voice, the book will hit the nostalgia button on any adult who played competitive sports as a child, particularly the thousands who competed in YMCA-sponsored athletic programs. Particularly entertaining are the narratives of many of Hines' former players, who -- with perspective provided by adulthood -- reflect on the sheer fun of competition and the lessons they still carry from those experiences. I recommend it highly!Also by Chuck Hines:
Water Polo the Y's Way
Kayak Kids
Whitewater Wanderings
A Walk on the Y'ld Side: Memories from 40 years of Teaching and Coaching Youngsters through the Auspices of the YMCA
