HoopHandbook - Dre Baldwin - Bog

Your size is not an excuse in this game. Once you lace up a pair of sneakers and step between those four lines, you are a player - a player who can play, or a player who cannot play. Does Size Matter in Basketball? Yes. But Heart matters more. And skill can be bought with work. You must be able to finish and create space against bigger opponents who aim to block your path. You must eliminate any flaws that would make you a liability. And make your strengths so strong that any unchangeable flaws don't matter. You must be an expert ball handler, getting to any spot on the floor with your dribble and creating separation from any defender. You must be an accurate outside shooter who cannot be left open. You must develop myriad methods for finishing around the basket, unafraid of contact and towering rim protectors. The Undersized Player HoopHandbook will help you develop all of the above, ensure that you WILL stand out, and won't get lost in the basketball shuffle. You're an undersized player by nature. Make the choice to not be under-hearted or under-skilled.
