Idan Ravin

Idan Ravin's debut children's book draws on more than a decade of experience training NBA and WNBA superstars and explores the themes he developed in his first work, The Hoops Whisperer (Penguin, 2014). Idan's ability to transform athletes into their best selves translates itself into a new medium in It Takes Patience, offering inspiration and wisdom for children and parents alike. Along with being a proud and devoted uncle to his nieces and nephew, Idan's literary and coaching work has been featured extensively in The Wall Street Journal, Sports Illustrated, The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Boston Globe, Men's Health, and Men's Fitness, among others.
