The Crossover Movement

A good friend of mine, Coach Brian McCormick has just penned his lastest book entitled, "Cross Over: The New Model for Youth Basketball Development." This book focuses on youth bastketball in the USA, but encompasses a much larger issue --- the overrall development of student-athletes in our country. This book should serve as a resource to players, parents and coaches as they continually re-evaluate the programs and protocols of youth sports surrounding our children.

Brian's step-by-step breakdown of the system helps to shed light on a part of child development that is left in the stone-ages -- youth sports.

Hopefully with likes of Brian and others coming into the national scene as coaches and administrators (as well as authors) the nature of the game, and those participating, will grow and prosper.
