He understands the game and has the ability to break down the fundamentals for easy comprehension and fast learning. This book is perfect for players who want to improve their game' - from the Introduction by Dan Majerle, former NBA All-Star and Olympic Gold Medalist. As thirty-year veteran coach Ralph Pim puts it, 'True success begins with focusing all of your resources on becoming the best player possible.'In this outstanding and totally revised drill-book, Pim shows you how to do just that, hammering home the number-one lesson you'll need for success on the court: never underestimate the importance of fundamentals.

Paying attention to both the mental and the physical aspects of the game, Pim provides a complete guide to better fundamental offensive basketball.Whether you're a new player or a seasoned coach, "Winning Basketball" gives you what you need to gain the competitive edge, providing: more than sixty-five drills; eighty-eight action photographs; twenty-five detailed diagrams; checklists for pinpointing weaknesses; key teaching points on basic skills, such as layups, free throws, and rebounds; a glossary of basketball lingo; and, tips for setting up training programs and using practice time to its fullest potential.

Format:Paperback
This is the best offensive basketball skills book I have ever read. The reason I say that is because it is so complete. It covers every aspect of individual offense. For example, many books tell you how to shoot a layup, but this book tells you about the techniques for different types of layups, overhand, underhand and reverse layups are all included. There are sections on ball handling, inside play, shooting, goal setting, perimeter moves, fakes, rebounding, screening, and many drills for players of all ages. The author breaks skills down and makes them easy to understand and learn and there are also various useful quotes from basketball legends dotted throughout the book. Well worth buying if you are a player or a coach.
