Assistant Basketball Coach; #6 all-time 3 pt. field goals made (Duke) For the past 25 years, Duke has been home to some of the best point guards in the country and they have all studied and practiced the developmental drills presented in this excellent production. Coach Krzyzewski provides the overview and background for each section and Duke assistant coach Chris Collins teaches the drills and techniques on the court. This workout includes warm-up drills, defense drills, transition shooting drills and offense drills to create a complete point guard workout. The ultimate goals of this program are to get point guards comfortable with the ball, to build passion and understanding for the role of the point guard, and to create a coach on the floor mentality. Collins implements 10 drills that are built around ball handling, distributing the ball and controlling the tempo of the game. These innovative tactics and techniques encompass a variety of areas of guard play, including: shooting, transition, and screening. All of the drills are run in a game-like/competitive setting, stress the importance of communication and leadership, and build on the fundamental needs of a point guard. This will help your point guards become an extension of you on the court where making the correct decision at the right moment is crucial! 45 minutes. 2005.  (less)

The text is organized into 12 learning units and includes 34 articles from writers and researchers with varied backgrounds. Introductions are provided for each of the units. They include brief summaries of the articles that follow and probing study questions that challenge the reader to think critically about the material. Edited by Andrew Yiannakis, PhD, and Merrill J. Melnick, PhD, Contemporary Issues in Sociology of Sport includes: an exploration of topics and themes that have received limited attention in other sociology of sport texts but have been long-standing social concerns, a review of the attitudes toward female athletes and the anti-homosexual phobias present in sport, an in-depth look at the impoverishment of children's games in America, an overview of high school sport participation, a study of the challenges and benefits of the big-time collegiate sport experience, a critique of television's impact on sport and its portrayal of gender and race, and a review of sport and globalization. Unit I provides the reader with a historical background on the development of sociology of sport and addresses several critical issues about the relationship between sociology, physical education, and sociology of sport. The text includes an explanation of the growth of the sociology of sport field since 1980, the emergence and growth of the New Physical Education, and a review of the emerging field of sport pedagogy. Unit II illustrates the power and influence of sport on American values, attitudes, behaviors, and cultural practices and its manifestations in our interpersonal and gender relations. Unit III examines whether adult-controlled sport programs are good for children. The authors explore the Little League phenomenon, which they contrast and compare with the spontaneous culture of free play.

through individual workouts is legendary. Few are better at molding a player to his system with solid teaching, hard work, and repetition. Associate Head Coach Brett Gunning guides players through a classic Wildcat workout. This video will demonstrate the value of repetition when teaching in a small group setting. Wright stresses the one workout fits all philosophy as guards and forwards execute the identical workouts. This year-round workout is a foundation of the Wildcat program. Their spread floor attack from all five spots on the floor makes success virtually impossible for opponents. Players get maximum reps during this intense 40-minute skill development session. This workout begins with set lifts, an excellent shooting technique used every day in Wright's program. A quick, aggressive ballhandling segment follows that includes ball slaps, two ball drills, and full-court work emphasizing change of speed and direction. Not a moment is wasted as players shoot game-like free throws between drills. Passing is demonstrated with the versatile three man weave run tight, three-point line, and sideline in the full-court. A footwork segment illustrates the Jab Series: Jab & Go, Jab & Rip, Jab & Jump Shot. After free throws, the workout turns to shooting work. Olympic shooting involves two ball and three players with the emphasis on good habits such as passing, pivoting, and rebounding. The intense workout concludes with competitive 1-on-1 and 2-on 2-drills. The 1-on-1 drill matches the offensive players Jab Series skill against the defensive players ability to keep his head and hand on the ball, make quick slides, contest the shot, and tag the shooter. This drill culminates the skill session by combining all offensive and defensive teaching points into one drill. Hard play, competition, communication, skills, concentration, and good habits are a part of every work out. A superior example of how players can be made in the in-season and off-season! 40 minutes. 2006.  (less)

progressing through the end of the cold war. They examine how sport development is affected by politics, gender roles, nationalism, capitalism, class, race conflict, and economics. Part I, Perspectives on the Making of Modern Sports, emphasizes the need to study sports not only in one place and time, but as they change and evolve through time. The contributors contend that to understand any sport as it exists today, you must examine the social processes that transformed it from early forms of play into an organized game. Part I looks at these processes over a broad span of time, from ancient civilizations through the Victorian period. Part II examines the diffusion of modern sport from its beginnings in 18th century England throughout the rest of the world. You`ll learn about some of the factors that influenced this diffusion, both outward to other countries and downward within each country from higher to lower social levels. Part III compares sports across modern cultures. The contributors examine how major ideologies of the 20th century--capitalism, socialism, and nationalism--have affected the practice and development of sport in various countries. The Sports Process is a valuable reference for scholars and students studying the sociology of sport. The book also includes such special features as suggested research tasks, a guide to further reading, and essay suggestions which make it an excellent supplemental text for classes in sport sociology, sport history, and comparative physical culture. 2/12/1996 copyright, 336 pages.  (less)
