From a starting point as a relatively short high-school athlete fighting to landing a college scholarship to being named a two-time MVP of the NBA—it’s been an incredible journey for professional basketball player Steve Nash. And now readers have an inside ticket for the entire trip! In this new authorized biography, fans young and old will learn about everything from Nash’s early years in Victoria, British Columbia, where he forged his now-legendary work ethic and hoop skills, to his current superstar turn with the Phoenix Suns. The boy who in junior high school confidently told his mother he would one day play in the NBA has done that and so much more. This is the story of how he has beaten overwhelming odds to become not only a top-flight athlete—but also a widely admired human being.

This review is from: Steve Nash: The Making of an MVP (Paperback)
im a PE teacher who specialises in basketball and I needed a dvd which gave simple yet effective drills to be taught for ages 9-15. this dvd fulfills this criteria. For my offense I use the read and react dvds, especially when i am fine tuning my teams shooting or defense but for any pe teacher interested in simple teaching points and drills this dvd is excellent. I would highly recommend it for pe teachers. covers shooting, passing, dribbling, defense, offense, and transition.
well worth the money
