Book Reviews of The Heart of the Team: Life Lessons On and Off the Court

Book Review: It's not just a game, it'd education
Summary: 5 Stars

I think that this is the best sports book I've ever read. I think the reason is his summation of the book in the Introduction. He says: Really, the game (basketball) alone has no worthwhile purpose whatsoever. But teaching how the game is played can show players that if they work as a group, they can accomplish things despite another group trying to prevent those accomplishments.

The book is structured around the stories of individual players. And this is about players in the whole rather than this playing. This is how you take the individual girls and make them into a team, and at the same time you make them into more responsible young adults.

It is, of course, just a sport. But more than a sport it's education. And Mr. Resler is a fine, even supurb, example of those around the country that contribute their part.

Summary of The Heart of the Team: Life Lessons On and Off the Court

The public was first introduced to the Roosevelt Roughriders, a Seattle varsity girls? basketball team, and their unorthodox coach in the much-acclaimed documentary,The Heart of the Game.In this engaging book, Coach Bill Resler discusses the lessons – culled from life experiences both on and off the court — that he teaches his players. By combining life lessons with basketball skill, he transformed a once-losing basketball team into state champions. Here Resler remembers past players and seasons and uses them to illustrate these valuable lessons. The stories he shares are filled with the excitement of the game and the coach?s personal charm. In addition, the book details Resler?s concept of the Inner Circle, a technique he uses to develop deep-seated feelings of comaraderie in his players.TheHeart of the Teaminspires readers to develop competitiveness, teamwork, and self-confidence — attributes that come in handy both on and off the court.
