| Publisher Description: If you want your child to succeed in youth basketball, you can't be just a spectator. Get involved-the right way-and help him or her prepare for games at the high school and college levels. In the Parent's Guide to Youth Basketball and Beyond, authors Kevin Cantwell and Pat Alacqua offer their coaching and parenting expertise, outlining the role parents need to take, providing information and history on youth basketball in the United States, highlighting the pitfalls of the US system, and showing you how to gain access to the resources needed to most effectively help your child. Cantwell, who spent his career coaching at the college level, pulls back the veil and shows curious readers exactly how the recruitment process for college basketball works, how to recognize and develop their children's most important skills, and how to best showcase their children's talent. The current youth basketball system in the United States is not tailored to help individual children reach their full potential. The responsibility to research and plan for success, therefore, rests on parents and family members. Cantwell and Alacqua's step-by-step instructions will help you effectually shape and support your child's journey. |
