POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE GAME PLAN for WINNING BASKETBALL is my home produced book that covers almost all aspects of our great game of basketball. The book outlines a total plan for a coach to set up his program from the basis of organization through playing for the State Championship. This applies to the player or to a parent that is interested in the game. The book's first chapter explains how the author developed his philosophy of basketball. We all want to win and the second chapter leads you into thoughts about how you are able to plan on winning. In order to get everybody on the same page there are several pages on terms that we will use in our program. The basis of all success in basketball or anything else that you might do is in the mastery of the fundamentals of the game. You must have a defensive plan and we taught multiple defenses and we state why we wanted to do this. We progress through the transition game, man attack, and into what we call OUR BAKER'S DOZEN--13 rules in attacking zone defenses. We believe in changing tempo in the game and we explain some of the things that we used over the years as a delay game. We believe that you need statistics to measure the real success of your team so we cover that. We explain a program that we used for years for boys in grades 4, 5, and 6 on Saturdays and we know that it was very successful. There are other factors related to basketball through the rest of the book. There are over 100 computerized drawings throughout various chapters.
BASKETBALL BUILDING BLOCKS P M A is a small book of over 100 pages directed at the young boy or young girl wanting to play basketball. This book sets up a program that he or she is able to use at home or elsewhere to work out on the offensive fundamentals of basketball. There are some pictures but mostly it is reading and most of it is in font 20 size. The fundamentals covered in considerable detail are passing, ballhandling, dribbling, shooting, rebounding, and other factors. We believe that it is important to do things right as you begin and then take it from there. A player that has mastered the fundamentals should be able to play in any system and enjoy success. We emphasize gaining and keeping a Positive Mental Attitude or PMA. You need to maintain focus and you have to realize that in order to improve your game that you must work at it. We try to emphasize that "HARD WORK CAN BE FUN." Basketball is a game that players should enjoy practicing and playing at full tilt. Take it to the Limit.
