I am halfway through re-reading this small book. I have it online and Dan Coyle had Random Houxe send me a complimentary copy.

I am going to suggest that All of my Players AND their Parents read this book.

There is a good focus on How you can become very good with Deep Practice.

Interesting differentiation between Hard and Soft skills.

Hard skills are technique that use mechanically efficient movements and they must be exact and become movement patterns.

Soft skills are the game reading and creative skills and they must be learned by Playing and recongnizing patterns and the Read -Recognize – React as opposed to Dave KIng's Read and React. Shrink the space and play lots of games.

Limit practicing to 'Only on Days that you Eat'.

I am talking about lots of games for the next few days in the Daily Drill section .

I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn something

'The Game is the Greatest Coach'
'Enjoy the Game'
