The Complete Guide to Coaching Girls’ Basketball
“Coach Hatchell’s book is a must-read for every girls’ basketball coach. She is fantastic in every phase of the game, and I love watching her teams play.”—Roy Williams, head men’s basketball coach, University of North Carolina, and Associated Press Coach of the Year, 2006
What does it take to turn a good coach into a great one? You need to be a teacher, a motivator, a guru of X’s and O’s. Coach Sylvia Hatchell shows you how she manages all these roles and gives you her winning advice to creating a team of champions.
Head coach of the University of North Carolina’s women’s team, Coach Hathcell combines the Tar Heels’ longstanding tradition of basketball greatness with her personal dedication to guiding young women as she teaches you how to:
- Communicate effectively to get peak performances from 11- to 18-year-old girls
- Teach all the fundamentals of the game and run a productive, high-energy practice
- Develop a formidable offense and tenacious defense
- Master 75 of her favorite drills, ranging in difficulty from beginner to advanced
Customer Review: Very Helpful
I’ve been a player for years, but never a coach. This is a great book for the basics in coaching skills as well as everything else that comes with coaching - team dynamics, setting up try-outs, dealing with parents - you name it, it’s in there!
Customer Review: The Ideal tool for girls’ coaching
The only coaching book you may ever need! Coach Hatchell hasn’t left anything aside. From the psychology of young women and how to deal with it, to the most subtle nuances of coaching, it is all in there. Well illustrated, the explanations are easy to understand and the chapters are arranged in a logical way. I wish the photos would have been in full color instead of black & white but it would have made the book more expensive. I highly recommend it to anyone, whether you are a senior coach or just stepping in the field.
