“Each player must develop their weaknesses to prevent their strengths from becoming their weaknesses.”


The foundation of our skills development training model is to improve basketball skills to augment player development. Each phase of our skill development training model is structured to improve the level of execution and increase the accuracy of performance. Each basketball challenge will be assessed in order to advance to more complex skills related to player development. Our mission is to develop a synergy between practical basketball skills, practice routines and game situations.

Each phase of player development can lead to stagnation or opportunity based on the following challenges as the result of an action:

  • Denial - the action of declaring the need of player development to be untrue.
  • Resistance - the action of opposing the need or opportunity for player development.
  • Exploration - the action of investigating, researching, studying or analyzing the need for player development.
  • Acceptance - the action of recognizing and agreeing to the need for player development.
  • Progression - the action of connecting a series of fundamental skills for player development.
  • Confidence - the action of belief or trust in the one's ability to execute a skill as a result of player development.

 Between the "Resistance" and "Exploration" phases, an individual may experience the "Ambiguity Zone" where the individual does not feel comfortable with his or her player development… and has yet to make the commitment to change to augment his or her basketball skills.

The focus should be "continuous improvement" without fear of failure..."Fear is not real... it is a product of the thoughts you create... danger is real... but fear is a choice." If you fear hard work... if you fear failure... if you fear success... the danger is you will not be successful... the danger is you will not realize your potential.

There is a formula to every process and each component assimilated into the formula will lead to a particular result or outcome.
