Pete Newell's Playing Big offers a rare opportunity to learn from a basketball coach who has taught Shaquille O'Neal, Hakeem Olajuwon, and Bill Walton the finer points of post play and added new inside dimensions to the perimeter games of Shawn Marion, James Worthy, and Scottie Pippen. With this book and DVD, Pete Newell and Swen Nater show how you too can learn and apply the tactics and techniques from the world's foremost expert on playing big and dominating the inside game.
Every champion in basketball history has been able to score and defend in and around the paint. Pete Newell recognized the importance of post play early in his career, and then he used his techniques to coach teams to an NCAA championship, an NIT title, and an Olympic gold medal. His superb teaching skills resulted in players and coaches throughout the world who sought Newell's insights and the creation of his Big Man Camp and Tall Women's Camp.
Newell's camps, at which Swen Nater is also an instructor, have become the gold standard of post play instruction and, until now, have been reserved for elite players. With Pete Newell's Playing Big, tap into the legendary coach's exclusive knowledge, and take your team to new heights.
