Complex Basketball Coaching e-book available

“I bought your book at coachtube in February and loved it. It was one of the most difficult text to read about basketball, but once I understood what you are trying to say it made a complete sense to me.”

– A reader’s feedback on March 25.

What kind of coaching optimises the effectiveness of basketball practice?

That’s the question discussed in my book Complex Basketball Coaching. How to make basketball practices more effective.

It’s available as an e-book.

Teams in basketball and all invasion team sports are complex systems. Complexity science has been used to analyse their functioning. For some reason, this line of research has caused few changes in  coaching. We tend to coach as we “always” used to coach.

We can change that. First we draft the complex coaching paradigm. Then we apply it to practical coaching. We list practical coaching guidelines and drills where the complex coaching paradigm is utilised.

A lot of the book’s 92 pages are applicable to all invasion team sports just as well to basketball.

Here’s the table of contents.

Here are two drills from the book:

Shooting and close-out drill: 7.7 Five Close-outs 1v1 / 2v2

Ball Handling Drill: 7.12 Coast to Coast on Demand
