4 out of 5 stars Targeted for high-caliber, self-motivated player   March 9, 2003
 2 out of 3 found this review helpful

A really good book for a select audience. For younger players or those not motivated enough to focus their energy and effort at this level, I highly recommend the two companion VHS tapes on offense and defense/rebounding. However, if you are a middle or high-school player who really wants to raise your game, you can't go wrong here.


5 out of 5 stars One of the best basketball books out there   January 13, 2002
 6 out of 6 found this review helpful

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 out of 5 stars A Must for Coaches of Girls Basketball   December 29, 1999
 16 out of 16 found this review helpful

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 out of 5 stars Excellent book, broken down very efficiently!   March 16, 1999
 6 out of 6 found this review helpful

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!
