As a high school basketball coach I know basketball - I am not a strength and conditioning coach! Unlike my fellow coaches at the major college level and the pro ranks, I do not have access to specialists in conditioning who are experts at conditioning basketball players. As a head high school coach, I have to deal with so many things other than conditioning, that even if I really wanted to become an expert, the expertise would have to be developed at the expense of other important areas due simply to a lack of time and energy on my part.
Greg Brittenham has changed this for basketball coaches, at least high school or middle school coaches, like me. This one book contains information on what physical attributes basketball players must have, how to test these attributes, and how to develop these physical, athletic attributes.
The author also has provided 50 on the court conditioning drills that detail how to condition basketball players in a sport specific manner.
This book will save a busy coach untold hours of research, and allow the coach to produce well conditioned basketball players in an organized, systematic manner!
