The Smart Take from the Strong: The Basketball Philosophy of Pete Carril"The strong take from the weak, but the smart take from the strong." So said Pete Carril's father, a Spanish immigrant who worked for thirty nine years in a Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, steel mill. His son stood only five foot six but nonetheless became an All State basketball player in high school, a Little All American in college, and a highly successful coach.

"The strong take from the weak, but the smart take from the strong." So said Pete Carril's father, a Spanish immigrant who worked for thirty-nine years in a Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, steel mill. His son stood only five-foot-six but nonetheless became an All-State basketball player in high school, a Little All-American in college, and a highly successful coach. After twenty-nine years as Princeton University's basketball coach, he became an assistant coach with the NBA's Sacramento Kings. In 1997 he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Coach Carril inspired his teams with his own strength of character and drive to win, and he demonstrated time and again how a smart and dedicated team could compete successfully against bigger programs and faster, stronger, more athletic players. His teams won thirteen conference championships, made eleven NCAA Tournament appearances, and led the nation in defense fourteen times. Throughout his reflections on a lifetime spent on the basketball court and the bench, Carril demonstrates deep respect for the contest, his empathy and engagement with the players, humility with his own achievements, a pragmatic vision of discipline and fundamentals, and an enduring joy in the game. This is an inspiring and wonderful book, even for those who never made a basket.

Doesn’t last long
The sunscreen itself is good it just doesn’t feel like you get what you pay for. Maybe 2 applications for my two kids and it was gone. I had another brand of the same size and got so many more uses out of it!

The best spray sunscreen
I use this in combo with coppertone defend and care with zinc sunscreen cream. It works awesome and prevents burns. I apply the cream first and use this for double duty on the spots that tend to burn fast. I used on my kids too and it keeps them from burning as well. It’s especially handy to spray on on your hand and pat into the hairline to keep the scalp from being burned and doesn’t leave the white residue cream does in the hair.

Awesome
It didn’t leave your hands all orange like some can. I get a pretty good color just putting on one so I only apply more to missed spots. No s smell either with this one! Last awhile!

I love it
It does its work. I know many people don't like mineral sunscreens because of the white look on the skin( which it goes away once you rub it right), but I'm telling you, it's the only ingredient that it actually protects you from the UV rays and getting sunburn. The little one it's amazing and my kids love it because it's easy to put on.
