James Naismith was teaching physical education at the Young Men's Christian Association Training College in Springfield, Massachusetts, and felt discouraged because calisthenics and gymnastics didn't engage his students. What was needed was an indoor wintertime game that combined recreation and competition. One evening he worked out the fundamentals of a game that would quickly catch on. Two peach half-bushel baskets gave the name to the brand new sport in late 1891. Basketball: Its Origin and Development was written by the inventor himself, who was inspired purely by the joy of play. Naismith, born in northern Ontario in 1861, gave up the ministry to preach clean living through sport. He describes Duck on the Rock, a game from his Canadian childhood, the creative reasoning behind his basket game, the eventual refinement of rules and development of equipment, the spread of amateur and professional teams throughout the world, and the growth of women's basketball (at first banned to male spectators because the players wore bloomers). Naismith lived long enough to see basketball included in the Olympics in 1936. Three years later he died, after nearly forty years as head of the physical education department at the University of Kansas.Binding Type: Paperback

Fits like a $100 bra
Color: Black, Size: 36H
I don’t know why HSIA bras are so comfortable. The underwire does not dig in. This is the third one I’ve purchased. This bra has a pretty lace pattern. I love it. Highly recommend.

Great bra!
Color: Dark Beige, Size: 38D
I have several different bras from this brand. This is a really good minimizer. It has a nice wide strap. I don’t love the clasp as it is covered in a hard material, but overall it is a good bra that you can wear all day under form fitting shirts.

Uncomfortable
Color: Light Beige, Size: 38DD
In my search for a comfortable well-fitting bra, I came across this one. Reviews were good, so I ordered one. Half way through the day, I had to take it off. This is the most uncomfortable bra ever. This one went on to the "uncomfortable pile" pretty quick
Not full coverage and not supportive. Side coverage is pretty good but straps are thin and do not lift.

Best Bra for Top Heavy Girlies!
Color: Light Beige, Size: 40C
I tried HSIA in the past but non of the bras fit right but this bra is the best! I’m glad I gave HSIA another chance because this is the best bra I’ve ever had! I’m already top heavy and doesn’t add extra bulk. It’s comfortable and breathable. In top of all that it’s affordable!
