There's also an interesting new Basketball app from an Australian company that will actually plan all your rotations just before the start of the match.<br />During the match it reminds you what players need to get rotated at the right times and even reports how much time on the court each player has had.<br />It's Great Coach Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1772323635516523235.post-71481490821623702492013-12-04T13:23:51.235-05:002013-12-04T13:23:51.235-05:00You are absolutely right about the fear of sports ...You are absolutely right about the fear of sports injury. Every athlete plays with that fear in the back of their mind, and sometimes recovering mentally requires more perseverance than the physical recovery takes.
