Average Rating: 
Rating: - 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. She made all kinds of plans - coached in two tournaments and even won one of them. Now she's all about coaching. I think she's found a new love. She never would have done this without the book. If you are thinking about coaching, but just don't know what to do, get this book. You might find that it is all you need.
Rating: - 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. I would suggest you read this book a couple of times before the season begins. The book points out the importance of planning your practices, it is right!
Rating: - Beginner Coaches -- Buy this one!!!
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.
Rating:  - Great for the new coach
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.
Rating: - Buy it, you won't be sorry!
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 ... Read More
