Why Was This Book Written?: Basketball players are told all the time by their peers or coaches that they need to become better shooters, dribblers, passers, finishers, etc. Unfortunately, the next steps to improving in these areas of the game aren't so clear. This leaves players frustrated, with no plan for improvement and subsequently a lack of results.

The Basketball Solutions Manual: Skills Edition was written with these players in mind. The ones who want to improve but need a clear direction, specific goals and simplified techniques. This is why we break down each skill into its most important teaching points and use the most effective, easy-to-implement drills to facilitate maximum skill development.

For coaches, this book gives numerous ideas for pre-practice and in-practice individual skill development sessions.

• Introduces reactive and variable basketball drills that further help you transfer your skills from the practice floor to live game action
• Adds an emphasis on the proper movement skills and athletic qualities needed to execute and correct common basketball techniques
• Reduces clutter and information overload by narrowing down each skill to its most important keys for improvement 
• Goes beyond the "how" to do a skill and highlights the "when", "where", and "why" of each teaching point/concept
