内容简介：
Trapped inside the sweltering heat of the dimly lit gymnasium, the sound of sneakers can be heard pounding against the hardwood floor. But deep within the walls of this gym prevails an unholy attitude, an attitude that what happens in practice stays in practice. And it is that very attitude that allows one player to be punched in the head with an elbow, while another is repeatedly attacked with a broom before a full-scale riot breaks out in practice. But these are not men. These are the Gary Falcons, a 13-year-old boys basketball team preparing for the National AAU Basketball Tournament in Memphis, Tennessee. And with three state titles to his credit, and a roster long on talent but short on fundamentals, Marvin Rea, the coach and founder of the Falcon's organization, will stop at nothing to win a national championship. Has competitive youth sports gone too far? Are coaches and parents putting too much pressure on children to win? Are coaches foregoing the fundamental develop of players for the sake of winning? "The Falcon Way" explores these subjects and more. From the brutal practices, to the physical punishment, to the verbal abuse on and off the court, "The Falcon Way" provides a fascinating and yet disturbing inside look at an AAU Basketball program out of a control, and a coach in search of redemption. This is a must read for every parent, coach, and administrator involved in youth sports.
