GREAT TEXT FOR ALL COACHES February 28, 2008
I originally had trouble reading this book until I went to the table of contents and read what pertained to me at that time. It even refers to other pages to reinforce the point there making.I actually have read this book completely but not in the order the chapters are in. Now I use this as an excellent reference tool and it helps me explain to the player in a more concise manner.Now the player realizes it's not all physical and he can have fun with basketball by thinking on his own.
Don't forget the Mental Aspect April 17, 2000

Basketball Fundamentals is equally valuable to coaches and players of the game. This easy to read book help players and coaches understand WHY certain things happen. Why can't players afford to complain about reffing? Why can some players shoot well in practice and not in games? How can consistency be developed in players? In easy to read language, Jay Mikes not only offers answers to these question, but also solutions. This book will be required reading for my Varsity players.

Jay Mikes has written a book that is a definitive guide to mental training and the analysis of the mental side of basketball fundamentals. He has managed this in a style that is not only captivating but also clear and concise. I found the book a great help in preparing young players for competetive basketball. This book not only helps in solving a crisis (eg: a shooting slump) but also in preventing them.A great read for coaches and players alike.
