INDIVIDUAL & SMALL GROUP HOOPS TRAINING

Personal Experience: I started playing basketball very late in life. In fact, my first experience with “organized basketball” was in college. I was essentially recruited off the streets of Northern Virginia (20 miles south of Washington D.C) where I learned:

1 on 1 basketball
How to attack the basket successfully
How to control the game by controlling the ball (i.e. ball handling at a high level)
How to be aggressive yet under control
And how to be mentally tough and confident

Because of this background I was forced to learn a lot of skills quickly and can recognize what pieces of the game are vital to learn. I watched what was working for other players and created a blend of aggressive street ball with the smart fundamentals of organized basketball. This knowledge led me to a successful basketball career and ignited a passion for teaching others what I've learned.

Throughout my training programs, I encourage each athlete to build confidence in his or her skills by building muscle memory for movements through repetition.

TrueChampion programs create an environment where the athlete competes against themselves or a partner in order to prevent “going through the motions” of boring drills. It is our philosophy that the fastest way to improve an aspect of your game is to master each skill by breaking down the movements and understanding the purpose.

STEP 1- Video Evaluation

During the video evaluation, we record the athlete running through a series of movements with the ball such as shooting, defense, and offense. We believe that visual learning is important. We also use this to show how the athlete is progressing and improving through training. (this video can be purchased for $40)

STEP 2- Create an Individualized Plan

Based on the athlete's strength and weaknesses, we create an individualized shooting chart,* ball handling chart,** and a model work out. This is tailored specifically to each unique athlete.

*Shooting Chart- We create a shot chart that identifies several areas for the athlete to shoot from. The goal is to log every single shot in sets of 10 in order to continually challenge the athlete to hit more shots. It’s a fun, goal-oriented activity that will ignite motivation and determination.

** Ball Handling- “CONTROL THE BALL, CONTROL THE GAME!” Based on the athlete's skill level, we design the ball handling skills program with individual moves for them to work on. We create a competitive environment by timing the athletes as they perform these moves. Similar to the shooting chart, this activity challenges the athlete to “beat” their previous time and master ball handling skills.

Step 3: Monitor and Evaluate

We periodically adjust the program goals based on the athlete's improvements and needs over the course of the program.
