Steve Nash MVP-Basketball Fundamentals

This DVD is highly recommended to all new and current coaches who would like to start with the basics and inhance further development with thier players. I have used some of the training tips and the kids love it. Using this DVD makes training Fun and enjoyable and it enables the kids to develop thier skills. Thanks Steve Nash for giving the world a chance to learn and develop basketball skills. More professional basketball players should follow suite.

My ten year old son likes watching basketball and playing it thru the local rec league. I personally cannot give him hints as to how to better his skills because I never played basketball so I got this DVD thinking what can I lose. Well, I watched this with him and was amazed at the everything that was done. They start out with basic shooting form like how to hold the ball, what your hand is supposed to do when it releases the ball(drop down into a cookie jar!) and how to tell (by wrapping masking tape around the ball) if you have put the correct spin on the ball when its released. After watching this, with no prompting from me, my son immediately goes to the court to start doing the stuff! Unbelievable. I lent these discs to a friend who has a similar age son and he said his kid also went outside and started practicing on his own. For some reason this disc really inspires and I think its in large part that all the material is in a form that is easily digestable. My son is a better BBall player now and I think the fundamentals portion of this really helped him identify what he should be doing. Alot of kids just start shooting with a form that feels comfortable to them, even if it is wrong, and I think many would benefit it they saw this video. This package also contains alot of team drills which looked good.

I bought this for my 14 year old son, who is always looking to improve his game, and Nash is definitely an incredible player with an interesting Canadian family background that should be included in some part of the video. Clips from some of his games would also help because he is smaller than a lot of the players in the NBA, and it shows that with a lot of hard work and determination, a kid can improve his game. Nash is better than a lot of these taller guys, which proves that height isn't everything in basketball. His stats are incredible. Therefore, more about Nash in his DVD set would be more motivational for the young player.

This is a great video if you are beginning coaching and need a quick introduction to useful drills and basic concepts of playing good Bball. I do agree with the other reviewers in that this video is geared more towards the coach and not the player. Everything is taught from the perspective of the coach and not the player - which we all know are two different universes.I am coaching 5/6th grade for the first time and thought I understood the game but ran into issues very quickly trying to teach it. This has been a big help getting the team to understand basic concepts and planting "seeds" that can be used right away on the court. I found the 2nd. Disk to be the most useful in running practices with the team and how to structure a practice. Steve and the Coach do a great job explaining and showing really important things like Man-2-Man and Zone defenses. There are a lot of really good offensive drills shown as well. I also liked the fact that they left bloopers in. They will often stop the kids and show what they did wrong and have them do it again. The first disk had drills that were pretty standard like anything you would find on youtube but worth a watch.No if I could only get my kids to pay attention like Steve's...

These are the best basketball instructional videos out there. I'm a rec league coach for middle school aged kids (6th, 7th, 8th graders) and I too have watched a lot of these. The production qualities of other videos are generally a crap shoot with spotty audio or limited camera angles. This series has great production value and flows well. Sometimes instructional videos focus only on individual play and not enough team, or vice versa. There is a great balance here. Often times the instructors speak over the target audience's heads. Nash's style crosses the spectrum. He doesn't condescend when focusing on basic fundamentals and doesn't confuse when taking on more nuanced aspects. Nash is a great communicator. It's important to emphasize this. Often times my 6th and 7th graders have a hard time sitting through these things but throughout this series (taken in reasonable time chunks) they were engaged and interested. The kids that participate in the taped sessions range in age from middle school to high school and he puts them through several great drills. The transition from offense to defense to offense are especially helpful and I will be using a several of the drills presented during our upcoming season.Coaches, and players, this is a must. Save your money and check these out before you spring potentially more dough for less informative and entertaining series.

I watched this dvd with my two sons ages 14 and 21 after the younger one announced he wanted to concentrate on getting better at basketball during the off season. They liked it, but they watched it the one time and not again so far. They were impressed it was made by Steve Nash. They prefer to be out on the court playing or getting direct instruction or drill rather than watching a dvd. This may be better suited for a coach or a parent looking for tips to help younger players.

Good training DVD to pick up the basics of coaching, but difficult to put together a fun fast paced session using the content on the DVD. Although almost all of the skills are transferable, aims at coaching children.

The DVD takes you through the basketball basics and it shows you the drills and what you need to work on when you learn basketball.Steve Nash shows what you have to do and how you have to do it with very good explanations for young players.My son loves the DVDs and I love it as well.

Good service and like the dvds

スティーブナッシュがバスケットの基礎の基礎を教えてくれます。これをやっていればナッシュのようなスーパーマンになれるとは到底思えませんが、視ていると益々ナッシュに対する親近感が湧いてきます。もっとスーパープレーの数々が見たかった自分にとっては少し物足りなかったのですが、見ていて一緒にバスケがしたくなりました。
