Читать книгу Reflections of a 5th-Grade Girls Basketball Coach - Charlie Duncheon - Страница 3

I love basketball. I love my three daughters. That combination led me to one of the most enriching life experiences a guy could ever ask for. One night in 1998, my wife, Dana, asked why I was smiling when I got home from our oldest daughter Casey’s fifth-grade basketball practice. She noticed that it was becoming a familiar pattern after practices. I told her about the funny things Casey and her teammate Janelle had done at practice. After a few more occasions of sharing laughs from practices and games, Dana encouraged me to write them down.

I hope you enjoy this short coaching (and personal) journey. I will share some of the joys and the heartaches, present tips on how to coach young girls’ (and boys’) basketball, offer some life lessons learned by the girls and by me, and pass on many of the amazing things that come out of the mouths of these wonderful young girls competing in the global game of basketball.
