Hinkson keeps it simple!
If you're a beginner to the game of box lacrosse, this book will get you off on the right foot. Hinkson lays things out in simple format and uses photographs to emphasize his points, plus he tells you how to practice what you learn.Not everyone would agree will Hinkson's approach to the game, but his ideas aren't what one would call controversial either.

Fans of the game will enjoy this one too, as they'll find their ability to follow the game improves.

Excellent book for learning the fundamentals of box lacrosse
Lacrosse players, young and old, would find this book very useful to start playing the game or if players want to hone their skills.The book is very well detailed , from players basic stick skills, individual offense,individual defense, face-offs, to goaltending.Also, for you coaches outthere, I highly recommend buying this book.

great for box, indoor or canadian style lacrosse
Jim Hinkson's books (see also Lacrosse Team Strat.) are a valuble resource for the indoor lacrosseplayer coach or fan.While "Fundamentals" covers the individual skills each player will need to successfully play indoor lax, "Team Strat." covers understanding, developing,and coaching indoor lax plays - both offence and defense, man-up or short-handed.This 'team strategy'book may be forwhat the 'fan-only' is looking for a deeper understanding of the game. "Lacrosse Fundamentals" has a wonderful foreward by Chief Irving Powless, Jr. of the Onondaga Nation that describes, in the small space available, the vast importance the game of lacrosse holds for he and his people. Enjoy

great book for young box lacrosse players and coaches
I have coached teenage box lacrosse teams for 6 years now.I require my players to keep a team file folder into which they are to place and review things like drills, plays, strategy, etc.Several chapters from this book have also been photocopied by me and put in their files.The author has played and coached lacrosse for over 30 years and is recognized as one of the foremost box lacrosse authorities, along with Jim Bishop, his old mentor-coach, in Canada. He also has a second book out now on box lacrosse strategies, which you don't list. A must read for those wanting to know about "the fastest game on two feet"

Tips for indoor (box) lacrosse players
A good book for beginning lacrosse players, written by one of the game's top instructors. This book concentrates on the indoor game, also known as box lacrosse or boxla, and focuses on techniques for individuals, rather than team strategy. Using pictures to illustrate his points, Hinkson is especially helpful for young players and adult beginners, (the chapter on indoor goaltending helped me to improve my game in an adult recreational league). Check out Hinkson's other lacrosse titles, including "the fastest game on two feet" which is difficult to find, but deals in depth with team strategy for the indoor game, and his new book, "winning lacrosse strategies," for tips on the field game. ...

Book Description
Learning from Divorce, by Christine A. Coates and E. Robert LaCrosse, is a practical book that will help you rid yourself of negative feelings of guilt and worry and replace them with positive feelings of growth and hope. Learning from Divorce will show you how to confront your fears and flaws, motivate you to move forward toward change, develop realistic hopes about succeeding with future relationships, and turn your failures into victories!

In this groundbreaking book the authors explain that divorce can be viewed as a developmental process, a period of transformation and growth. They help the reader understand why the divorce happened in the first place— how unrealistic expectations of a permanent honeymoon or a partner who would satisfy their infantile needs and solve all their childhood problems have so often led to immature and self-centered behavior. In place of this attitude, Learning from Divorce provides the reader with a more realistic view of marriage as a long-term commitment requiring loyalty, compromise, devotion, perseverance, and selflessness. This book shows that the rewards of love and family exceed most any other joy or aspiration in one's life and will help you.Download Description
Learning from Divorce" offers a new approach to help divorcing people overcome devastation and negativity. It shows how to understand what went wrong in a marriage by looking at the difference between myth and reality in the expectations people have about the relationship. ... Read more

You REALLY can learn from divorce.
All too often when people separate or divorce they see it as catastrophic and the end of everything as it has been. They allow it to hold them back and get stuck in the anger, hurt, devestation and blaming. This book, written for the person going through it, is subtitled "How to take responsibility, stop the blame, move on" and that is exactly what it teaches.
Any change can be painful; the more important the situation that is changed, the more painful it can be. One can be stymied and stagnated by that pain, or use it to learn and grow as a person. This amazing book guides you to become a better you; to understand how you got where you are and how to improve your chances in future relationships.
It is a wonderful gift to give yourself or to anyone you love who is going through, or has gone through, a separation or divorce.

Tools to Get It Right (Life Ain't No Ground Hog Day!)
Psychoanalyst Freud describes in his psychoanalytic theory of "repetition-compulsion," our tendency to re-enact earlier experiences for the mind to heal itself of trauma. Philosopher Santayana reminds us that those who ignore the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them. In "Learning from Divorce," divorce attorney-mediator Christie Coates and child custody and parenting evaluator-mediator Bob Lacrosse artfully provide tools for the sometimes painful, always challenging and often rewarding work of self-examination - in the aftermath of divorce. They urge the reader to:consider their role in choosing their partner and in the relationship's "breakup," discard the limiting myths of marriage, understand the divorce grieving process, shed old patterns of blame, and rediscover the authentic self.

"We don't have the luxury of Bill Murray's [wacky weatherman] character in [the movie] Ground Hog Day," the authors remind us. (There simply aren't unlimited chances in real life, to try and try again to "get it right" - to perfect our approaches to meaningful relationships.) "Learning From Divorce" provides powerful insight and practical direction in the HOW of rebuilding after, and even growing from, the often dark experience of divorce.

As a conflict resolution professional assisting couples with this life passage and having experienced firsthand divorce's challenges, I found this book a unique distillation of many earlier researchers' work and at the same time, a fresh look with new approaches and tools.Highly recommended for the layperson and professional alike! ...

Great for teaching kids the history of the game
Lacrosse: The National Game of the Iroquois is a photo-essay telling the story of thirteen-year-old Monte Lyons, who has grown up playing lacrosse.His family is part of the Onondaga Nation and lacrosse is part of their heritage. The book begins by discussing the Onondaga Nation Territory and the six nations of the Iroquois.It then describes the history of lacrosse and its significance to the Onondaga Nation.It also provides some information about how to play the game, including how the field is set up, what positions there are, what equipment is needed, and the skills used.The book mentions that women's lacrosse is somewhat different but does not go into details about the women's version of the game.Also included are a description of how lacrosse sticks are made and a glossary of terms used in the book.

I would recommend using this book for children ages 8 through 11.Many children in this age group are interested in learning about other cultures and history.In addition, sports books are popular in this age group.The combination of these elements in this book make it appealing on different levels.I would use this book during the summer as part of a discussion on lacrosse.I would have lacrosse sticks available for the children to see and possibly include a guest speaker from one of the local college or professional lacrosse teams.The photographs and illustrations give children a better understanding of the Iroquois, the Onondaga Nation Territory, and the game of lacrosse.

Indigenous Game of this land.
It is fortunate to finally hear about the origins of a world class game from the indigneous people who first introduced it to this country.Rarely are the origins of team sports made available to those who play them.In this case, it is revealed how the game of lacrosse is still connected to the cultural integrity of the Haudenosaunee, past, present and future.In turn, the reader also hears an Onondaga voice regarding their history--a voice usually not heard in a public school environment.

Juvenile - Great for Kids
Has significant information, but overall, is very child based. As a childen's book, I would give it five stars. If you're looking for any significant information on the game, don't buy this book. If you're looking for something entertaining for your children, I would highly recommend. Personally, I was looking for information for a college thesis, and this book did not really help. If you don't want to buy it new, wait a few days, until mine is offered as used. The people need to know. ... Read more
