In the Parent's Guide to Youth Basketball and Beyond, authors Kevin Cantwell and Pat Alacqua offer their coaching and parenting expertise, outlining the role parents need to take, providing information and history on youth basketball in the United States, highlighting the pitfalls of the US system, and showing you how to gain access to the resources needed to most effectively help your child. Cantwell, who spent his career coaching at the college level, pulls back the veil and shows curious readers exactly how the recruitment process for college basketball works, how to recognize and develop their children's most important skills, and how to best showcase their children's talent. The current youth basketball system in the United States is not tailored to help individual children reach their full potential.

As a former high school basketball player, I felt that I was good enough to play on the next level. My high school coach made that dream possible. He took me and two of my teammates to a few college basketball try-outs in my area. There was no internet, no videos, nothing to get me the necessary exposure. I promised myself that once I became a basketball coach, I would do everything in my power to make sure my players would have a chance to play college basketball; that's when I developed a system that would accomplish that goal. This system is simple and foolproof. It really works! And with today's modern-day technology to go along with my methods...success is a given! Over the last 20 years (1998-2018), I have been successful in acquiring a scholarship or Grant-in-Aid for at least one boy or girl to play college basketball. The question isn't, "Are they good enough?", but instead, "Who knows about them?" You can't recruit a player if you have never heard about them! Read my book! Follow my methods, and that scholarship will be there for the take! Now go get it! Good luck!
