The Pivot Playbook

Every pivot begins before you can name it — as a restlessness, a whisper, a door that quietly stops opening. Ten years after Get Your Head in the Game introduced readers to the court-side wisdom of her mother, Coach Mable Beasley, Shannon Beasley Taitt returns with the playbook she wishes someone had handed her mid-transition: not another book to read, but a game to run. Across four quarters — plus a halftime reset and a rehab season for when healing has to come before the next move — The Pivot Playbook turns basketball's oldest lessons into a practical companion for career changes, reinventions, losses, and every "what's next" in between. Find your footing. Plant your pivot foot. Build your starting five. Take the shot.
