Attitude: Develop a Winning Mindset on and Off the Court | Jay Wright, Michael Sheridan, Mark Dagostino

I bought this for my husband's birthday. Jay Wright is Villanova University's men's basketball coach. We live down the street from the University and my husband occasionally sees him while they are out running. Perfect release time! #marchmadness #abookaboutbasketball

Smangela, Callemarie

DivineDiana @bookandcat It is a neighborhood tread! 😀 7y

Sweettartlaura He was my coach at my college for a while, too - Hofstra 🙂. He was great! 7y

DivineDiana @Sweettartlaura I didn't know that he had coached women too! 7y

Sweettartlaura He didn't - I mis-typed - he wasn't MY coach, personally (although I would have no objections to that 😏). He was the Men's coach there, as well. 7y

DivineDiana @Sweettartlaura Ha Ha! ⛹️‍♀️⛹🏻 7y

mrsthilkey Oh my gosh, thank you! Somehow I completely forgot about these!! I wonder if the library still has them...my daughters are 3, 3, and 6 months, so I guess I have some time. 😁 7y

Emory I was just trying to remember the name of this series the other day! 7y

Laalaleighh Yessss 7y

Lmstraubie My students still love this series! 7y

Smangela @Celeste57 @tpixie @mrsthilkey @Emory @Laalaleighh Fond Memories! I found this one at a library sale and realized I need to start stocking up on middle grade books for when my baby is older!! 7y

Smangela @saguarosally they're so cute and I remember loving them in elementary school 7y

Smangela @Lmstraubie I'm so glad it's still loved! I think they're like 20 years old! 7y

saguarosally @Smangela I just looked and it seems that they came out when I was in 7th & 8th grades. I'm sure I would have thought I was too old for them then. :( 7y

Laalaleighh @Smangela I had forgotten about these! 7y

readinginthedark Yes, these were so fun! 7y

Me and the Bad Guys | Shirley Gordon

This book, which I loved as a kid and tracked down with every intention of rereading but haven't actually gotten around to yet, has basketball hoops on the cover. That's the best I can do for #marchmadness #abookaboutbasketball

Also maybe like the kid gets his favorite basketball stolen? Or something?

Betsy in Spite of Herself | Maud Hart Lovelace

I didn't think I had #abookaboutbasketball, but then I remembered that Tib plays, and I think her team might have looked something like this. Plus Betsy dates a handsome basketball player. 😄 #marchmadness

Zelma Wow, those uniforms look a little difficult to play in! 7y

There's a Girl in My Hammerlock | Jerry Spinelli

pick

In no way is this #ABookAboutBasketball but for some unknown reason my mind wandered back to this book when I read this prompt and it made me happy. I remember reading it in 5th grade and feeling like it was prolific. While I haven't read it since, I'm sure it's much less existential than I recall 😂😂

tpixie Well wrestling season is the same as basketball season! 7y

Smangela @tpixie Oh good point!! (edited) 7y

The Crossover | Kwame Alexander

This book is about basketball, but so much more! And after hearing #kwamealexander speak I would read just about anything he wrote. #marchmadness #abookaboutbasketball @Smangela
