Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Nancy Lieberman-Cline is one of basketball's greatest-ever women players: the first high-school athlete to make a U.S. Olympic basketball team and the first woman to play in a men's professional league. She teams up with Robin Roberts, a great college player and successful sportscaster for ABC and ESPN, to share her insights and help women use physical drills, mental techniques and plain old basketball strategy to hone their skills to the sharpest.

Marsha Sharp
Head Women's Basketball Coach, Texas Tech University

""This is a complete basketball book written by one of the greatest point guards ever to play the game. All aspects of developing a well-rounded player are covered. The mental approach, tips for skill development, practice drills, and Nancy's life experiences make this a must-have for players looking to improve their games.""

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for Coaches of Girls Basketball, December 29, 1999
By David Heaukulani (Hilo, Hawaii) - See all my reviews
When I started coaching girls basketball (3rd-9th graders) 3 years ago this was the second book I picked up. Now I have about 35 books and 20 videos but I use this as the central reference for my playbook and training manual in coaching fundamentals. Some of the skills may be too advanced for younger kids but they will grow up and adapt to it when they return to you a little older and better skilled thanks to this reference. It should be used in conjunction with the videos by the author (available also from Amazon). If Nancy Lieberman-Cline ever sponsors a clinic I will be on the first plane to get there. As a player-coach-teacher she is the best for girls basketball!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best basketball books out there, January 13, 2002
By Kevin Devaney (Fayetteville, New York USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have been coaching girls basketball for the last several
years and am often looking for suitable books to give my
players to help them work on their own to further develop
their skills. This is the best book I have seen for a junior
high or high school player. I covers every aspect of the game,
not just skills, but also physical training.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, broken down very efficiently!, March 15, 1999
By A Customer
Being a girls basketball coach, this book is a very beneficial tool for helping young women understand the game more completely. The variety of drills make it easy to design an off season workout schedule. This book is a must buy for anyone serious about the game, whether coach, player, or a serious fan!
