Ever wish you had a fast breaking, high scoring basketball team that could excite your players and fans alike? One that strikes fear into the hearts of your opponents and leads to more victories each season? Now you can develop one with Coach Battenberg's: YOU CAN RUN WITH ANYONE. After studying under several of America's best fast break coaches, and perfecting his Fast Breaking System over 35 years of college and high school coaching, Battenberg shows you don't need tall, quick, or great athletes to have a successful fast break attack. It's what you emphasize and how you teach it that makes all the difference. Offering more than 60 DIAGRAMS and including 25 DRILLS to use on a rotating basis, this book shows you how to organize your practices, train your players, and plan for games so your team can truly RUN WITH ANYONE. Learn about the SECRET WEAPON that most fast break teams fail to use. The one that will give your team many more QUICK-STRIKE OPPORTUNITIES. Discover how to get your Bigs to run the court with relentless energy and find instant scoring opportunities around the basket. Develop new ways to get your players to PLAY HARD with Short Segment Practice Planning. And if you hate running your players in wind-sprints as much as they hate doing them, Coach Battenberg tells you how to condition your team without those boring running drills. HAVING PROBLEMS WITH FULL COURT PRESSURE? Opponents will think twice about pressing your team after you run through their defense with your new found "Quick Counter-Attack." You will discover Early Offense; Advanced Fast Break Techniques; and Specific Fundamental Training that will make your team play QUICKER and more EFFICIENT.
