This book zooms in on everything that happens around the game: locker room life, school, family, friendships, culture, and the mental load of growing up with basketball. It gives players (14–22), parents and coaches a shared language and set of routines to handle belonging, confidence, emotions and daily structure. Through player stories, social-psychology tools and CLA/DL-informed routines, it shows how off-court wins keep talent from stalling.
