Rezensionen / Stimmen
""""Jill Prudden is one of the best high school coaches I have ever known. Her dedication to her athletes and to high school girls basketball, and her knowledge of the game and attention to detail has benefited many great collegians such as Jennifer Azzi at Stanford University and Nikki Caldwell at the University of Tennessee. This book will have tremendous value to a coach who wants to build a program the right way!"""

"""Coach Prudden helped lay the foundation for my basketball career because of her ability to teach the fundamentals and think through the strategies of the game. She brings out the best in her players as individuals and as a group by stressing teamwork, hard work, and the importance of conducting themselves with class at all times. As a result, she has gained a tremendous amount of respect not only for her team's on-court success but also in the way she runs her program as a whole. She is leaving a legacy that coaches only dream of."""
