Basketball IQ for Kids - What would you do? 88 game situations with the answer and the reason, for players ages 8 to 14 and the coaches and parents who help them read the court, make quick decisions and play smarter #1012580

Your player has the ball at the top of the key, two defenders closing in, and a teammate waving from the corner. What happens next is not about a better jump shot. It is about a decision, and decisions can be learned. Basketball IQ for Kids turns that learning into a game of what would you do. Each of the 88 short situations puts a young player in a real moment of a five-on-five game, asks one clear question, then gives the answer and the reason behind it, so the thinking sticks and does not have to be memorized. This is not a drill book, a shooting-form manual or a mental-toughness guide. Those teach what the body does; this book teaches what the head sees, from where to stand when you do not have the ball to what to do with ten seconds left and the score tied. It works for a player reading alone, for a parent who never played, and for a volunteer coach who has one hour a week. Inside, you'll learn: Read one situation a night, or pause a game on screen and ask the questions out loud. Basketball IQ for Kids gives young players the reasons that make good decisions feel natural.
