Book Reviews of Coaching Youth Basketball: A Baffled Parent's Guide
Book Review: A good basic book for those wanting to coach youth basketball
Summary: 5 Stars
I will be honest, I did not buy this book but had a copy given to me by a friend who wanted to know what I thought about it given that I coach basketball for a living.
To sum it up, this is a very good book for any individual who wants to coach a youth basketball team. It has a lot of good, basic information, particularly about organizing practice, etc, and teaching fundamentals.
These two issues are key to the success of any youth sport team and this book addresses those.
It could be more indepth about strategy and tactics and more advanced concepts, but given the intended audience, this is not really an issue and is more of an observation based on what I always look for in a coaching book.
The book is well organized, easy to follow, and provides meaningful examples. So many coaching books have great information in them but are so poorly organized and lack good examples that for the average reader, the book is not useful.
