“This book is a sort of giant checklist—a discussion of the little things that a good player does and is aware of. If you really strive to make these fine points a part of your game, there won’t be any doubt in anyone’s mind what kind of player you are. People may not say that you are great or wonderful or fantastic, but coaches will do better than that. They will say YOU CAN PLAY. There is no higher compliment in the game.” - Dick DeVenzio, Author
“STUFF! may very well be the best book ever written for basketball."

about skills and game tactics, but this book is exceptional.”

excellent tips and ideas in Stuff. It is an outstanding book.”

Covering everything from over-confidence, choking under pressure, lack of confidence, and playing with
teammates you don't like, to slumps, doldrums, academics, and how to increase your speed and quickness.
Think Like A Champion is practical advice broken down into 122 short sections on situations that athletes
commonly encounter.
"Dick DeVenzio's book is a powerful statement about what separates good from great on the court."

- Alan Lambert, Five-Star Basketball Highway
Not for the faint of heart, this book offers an inside look at the unusual and very successful style of a coach
from the old school. "Coach DV," father of author Dick DeVenzio, had forty consecutive winning seasons. He
yelled and growled and cussed, but many coaches have benefited from his common-sense approach.
"I can assure you that...this book will give you a greater understanding of the game."
