I played basketball all my life. I was a pretty good player but I was not very skilled. I would play morning to night and never got better. I was able to get over because of my athleticism. Needless to say, I was not successful on the collegiate level.
I gave up on the game and became a basketball weekend warrior, still not skilled and less athletic. One day my 10 year old daughter decided to play basketball. While attending her practices I noticed something, the coaches were doing the exact same drills I did 20 years ago. The same drills that didn’t help me at all. I discovered coaches/trainers taught and trained things they did. Here’s the problem. The game of basketball has changed but the way the game is taught has not changed in decades.
So I started assisting my daughter’s coaches. I was determined to develop a way to teach basketball skills. I went from assistant CYO coach to Head high school varsity coach with in 4 years. During those 4 years, I studied the best basketball trainers. I went to their seminars, workshops and clinics. I brought DVD’s and books from all the great coaches. I was determined to come up with a way to train and teach kids skills and basketball IQ, everything I didn’t have as a young player.
