Just
a quick e-mail to let you know how much my daughter and I loved
your camp this past weekend. Victoria has attended camps at UConn
and University of Hartford over the past two years. Both were
a week in duration. She
commented to me that
she learned more in two days than she did in the other camps.
Speaking for myself, it was amazing how much information you
could successfully "cram" into two days. I look forward
to the challenge to incorporate this into my coaching.

Hello, I attended your first clinic last summer
with Koko Davis. I wanted you to know how well your teaching
style works with players both young and old. Upon our return
from Philly we held a skills and drills clinic where everything
taught came from your books and videos. I am pleased to report that a few of the sophomore
girls who attended now start for the varsity girls team. Also,
some of the boys who did not make the schools basketball team
last year, now start and are valuable team members.
I received a compliment a few days ago from the coach of the
girls the junior high team. She said she could really tell the difference in the players who attended our camp from the ones
that did not. Her comment focused on how sound their fundamentals
are. So, I lent her my videos and she too is now teaching from
them.
Thank you for your commitment to improve the game and more importantly
the enthusiasm in which you promote it. I look forward to attending
another Nitty-Gritty Basketball Clinic. It may be a couple of
thousand miles away, but well worth the time. Thank you.
Kasey Davis, Logadale, Nevada

the next level. James (son) wished you were his coach. We loved
it."

"I enjoyed
the personal attention and I'd recommend this clinic to other
coaches. This clinic definitely helped me."
Elaine Balcerak, Magnolia, DE
"My son has
been to other clinics, but none has been so beneficial. You focus
on skills, not scrimmaging. I also liked the attention to detail.
Nothing was taken for granite. Well worth the time, money, and
travel."
David B Hunter, Livingston, NJ
"I recently attended
your right stuff clinic at Haverford College on October 15,2000.
Thanks for putting on an informative clinic. By looking at the
books I believe that the clinic was just the tip of the iceberg."
"I've been coaching basketball to middle school students
for twelve years, read many books, been to several clinics, this
is the best "stuff" that I've seen related to fundamentals,
which are sooo important to the level I coach at."
Randy Bireley, Pottstown, PA
"Covered basics
extremely well. Shooting fundamentals were easy to understand
and made sense."
Todd
Vanett, AAU girls, Wayne, PA
"Smaller groups
were a benefit. ... I liked your clinic and would attend others."
Daniel Disanto, Paoli Wildcats,
Malvern, PA
"I liked that
you have broken down the elements of basketball and provided
drills and training which will improve a player's ability. I
also enjoyed participating in the drills. The exercises are great
for developing fundamentals for starting players."

"The best fundamentals
clinic I have attended. . . . This will give
any coach more security in their knowledge of the game."
Koko Davis, Coach,

"I would definitely
recommend this clinic to coaches- beginners or advanced!"
A. Robin Quinn, JrHS
Coach, Bridgeton, NJ
"I leave with
a greater knowledge and understanding of the game. More importantly,
I know how to teach others the vital fundamentals that will make
good players become great players."
Kasey Davis, HS Coach, Logadale, NV
"Best clinic I
ever attended."
Bill Force, Morris Plains, NJ
"My son and I
have been to other clinics, but none really compare to this one.
This is the best because of fundamentals. This clinic was well
worth the time, money, and worth traveling to."
Bill Tankersley, Tuscumbia,
AL
"The breakdown
of these tough skills into simple steps in a superior teaching
tool. Sid (Sidney Goldstein) makes it abundantly clear how every
player can improve by practicing the fundamentals correctly.
To have both coaches and players at the clinic was also a great
benefit. You could see how players respond and hear Sid's(Sidney
Goldstein) coaching points while also hearing 'Real scenario'
questions from the coaches.This is the best kind of knowledge
a coach at any level can have. It's probably also the most lacking
among coaches. I can't wait to put these practices to use!
