New Book Helps Basketball Coaches Go Beyond the X's And O's to Achieve Lasting Success

NEW CONCORD, Ohio - April 1, 2015 - PRLog -- A new book by a veteran basketball coach, consultant and author gives coaches a daily system to build relationships and connect with players year round.

Dr. Jim Burson signed copies of his newest book, The Daily Nugget: Motivations for Basketball Coaches and Everyone Who Loves the Game at the 2015 National Association of Basketball Coaches Convention held in Indianapolis.

The Daily Nugget is the first resource that helps coaches put a motivation and relationship system in place for their team. The book distills Burson’s 50+ years of experience into a comprehensive 365-day guide that teaches coaches how to:

• Bring out the best in themselves, their players and everyone around them

• Motivate and inspire their players through good times and tough times

• Communicate with their players year round

• Build the strong relationships that create long-term success

“Relationship problems get more coaches fired than any X and O problems do. Drill videos and playbooks don't teach you how to deal with people, especially in high-pressure environments like competitive athletics,” commented Burson, whom Sports Illustrated called “a coaches' coach … a respected sage in the fraternity.”

“The whole philosophy of The Daily Nugget is I – U – WE: When I get better, YOU get better, then WE get better. WE together do better than YOU and I separately,” added Burson.

Burson's company, Solution-Based Basketball®, provides resources and support for basketball coaches. He is a consultant to Nike and other sports companies, a motivational speaker, past president of the National Association of Basketball Coaches and a member of the Ohio Basketball Hall of Fame, where he is also on the board of directors. An all-time top Division III coach, he taught and for over 40 years at Muskingum University (Ohio) and is also the author of The Golden Whistle ~ Going Beyond: Journey to Coaching Success.

The Daily Nugget: Motivations for Basketball Coaches and Everyone Who Loves the Game is also available on Amazon in paperback ($14.99) or ebook ($9.99).
