Book:"Wheelchair Basketball, One Rebound at a Time" by Stuart Klugler

We chose this book as the next one in our Shooting Around series because it gives such great insight on some of the top players and coaches that have come through the NWBA. What sets this book apart from others is the questions he asked each of the highlighted people. You get a unique view into their lives as far as what they are currently doing as well as who was influential to them as developing wheelchair basketball players. Klugler's book will be one read now and years to come. It not only gives us a view of wheelchair basketball today but will help the next generation of players and coaches know more about the people that helped shape their sport.
