Editorial Reviews

Product Description

"As a coach, I've felt very strongly about the importance of strength and conditioning as a way of preventing injury and improving a player's potential to excel. This book is easy-to-read yet loaded with information that satisfies the concerns I have for my players' conditioning." -- Rick Pitino Head Coach, Boston Celtics "Conditioning for Basketball is the most comprehensive book ever written about strength and conditioning for basketball. It belongs in the hands of anyone who is involved with the strength training and conditioning of basketball players." -- Mickey Marotti Strength Coach The University of Cincinnati Bearcats "Being a professional basketball player, I know the value of proper conditioning. Conditioning for Basketball contains everything you need to know about preparing yourself to compete above the rim!" -- Kenny "Sky" Walker 1989 NBA Slam Dunk Champ "This book is must reading for coaches and players of all ages. I was particularly pleased to find that the authors didn't ignore the special needs of female athletes." -- Mark Asanovich Strength Coach Anoka High School (MN) 1992 Class M State Basketball Champs "I liked it. The book is sharp and perceptive, attuned to what I call the new world approach to strength training." -- Herman L. Masin Editor Scholastic Coach Magazine

5.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive plan for basketball players at all levels!, January 23, 1999
Matt Brzycki (Princton U.) and Shaun Brown (Boston Celtics) did an outstanding job of putting together a comprehensive strength and conditioning plan for basketball players at all levels. Our players are challenged, physically and mentally, each and every time they enter the weight room or step on the court by utilizing the same principles outlined in this book. I highly recommend this great resource to all players and coaches wanting to learn more about serious training.

Matt Brzycki and Shaun Brown provide in-depth training information that cover principles of strength training, to conditioning parameters, to nutrition. Coaches and athletes alike will benfit from straightforward explanations from two of today's fitness experts. Check out their Q&A section; common questions that most beginners can't find answers to in other publications are covered in a clear-cut fashion. This book is a must read for coaches and athletes who want to taker their training to the next level, or are just starting out.

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK CHANGED MY SON'S LIFE, March 23, 2005
I purchased this book for my son during his sophomore year in HS. He was a scrawny 6'2" forward who had been cut from his HS team the year before. Within 6 months he had transformed his body and his game, consistently being the strongest and fastest player on the court. He followed this book religiously through high school and it earned him a number of individual and team awards his senior year, as well as a full scholarship to play Div 1A basketball in college. He still uses it as a guide today.
I cannot recommend this book enough

5.0 out of 5 stars Well rounded resource for BASKETBALL players and coaches!
Most conditioning books that I have read seem to be written by body builders, football coaches, or power lifters. Or at least it seems that way. Read more
