5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it, you won't be sorry!, January 18, 2003
By Kevin Woodward (Soquel, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This a very good basketball book for new, aspiring or even coaches with 2-3 years experience ... even if, like me, you are just a parent looking for ways to help your daughter take it to the next level.

***Especially good for fathers or male coaches looking for insights into how to be most effective with the young, female player!***

If for nothing else, the chapter highlighting the differences between the youth male and female players made this purchase well worth the price. Now I know how to better "reach" girls in *any* sport -- especially my own.

The other coaching tips and drills were icing on the cake. Let me know if the author ever publishes a sequel!

Play hard, have fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for the new coach, October 24, 2003
By Martin Owens (Hilton, NY United States) - See all my reviews
The author expertly guides the reader through the entire coaching process. Not only the sport and the basics, but also the the most important parts of coaching youths: planning, preperation and Parents! I am also impressed with the in-depth examination of the differences of coaching girls and boys. I definately recommend this book for new coaches of girls.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beginner Coaches -- Buy this one!!!, December 5, 2004
By DC "goldcoleman" (BOWIE, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This book is great for girl coaches from new to experienced. It is for the coach who wants to learn how to coach basketball the right way. I am a coach and have three daughters and I would hope that any coach that teaches any of my children would have at least a working knowledge of the information in this book. It is an easy read and a good reference book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for anyone who is thinking about coaching.
I bought this for my wife who has no formal training in coaching or teaching. It is the first book she's read in years. She still carries it around in her car. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Girl's Basketball Book
I'm a new coach and found this book an easy read, but packed with good tips and drills. Works on basics, and doesn't come across as a boy's book titled differently for girls. Read more
