Brief Garland

Rating:
Summary: Three cheers for Breif Garland!
Review: I first read Breif Garland when I was 14 at the request of my coach. I was amazed to find that 25 years later I still enjoyed it. This book is a must read for girls involved in athletics as well as their parents. Without coaches like Lee and players like Pat, Candy and Frances (which are based on real live people) we would not have women's sports today. If you love girls basketball you'll love this book!

Summary: Finally reprinted
Review: I read this book in 1974, while I was playing girls' basketball in Oklahoma. Not only is it based on real people, but it could be any of a number of girl's basketball teams in the state. (Oklahoma had high school girls basketball long before Title 9.) As a girls' basketball coach myself over the past 20 years I have remembered this book often and experienced all of the things that are a part of coaching girls, both the triumphs and the heartbreaks. Harold Keith touched on them all with first-hand knowledge. I tried for years to get my own copy, so I'm thrilled it has been reprinted. It would make an excellent read for anyone who plays, coaches, or even knows about the sport of women's basketball. I am certain you will enjoy it.
