The PE Philosophy
Attention to Mental Development
The game of basketball is ever changing and unpredictable. One of the most underrated skills in the game is Mental Focus. The most successful players in the game and in life are the most adaptable and focused. Missed shots, bad calls, pesky defenders does not sway their focus in game.
These players devote all of their mental energy to in game details and execution. Their focus is always on the #NEXT play. The more you work on handling adverse situations, especially in your training and development, the more this adaptability will translate to in game and in life.
Attention to Detail
DETAIL: Everything we do is detail oriented. Between skill enhancement drills, and game situation drills, everything has a purpose that will be made clear throughout our time working together. Through our development I aim to answer the H.W.W.W (How to do it, Why do it, When to do it, Where to do it)
FOCUS: "Focus on your Focus". Is a quote I use very often. On court we focus on doing not just doing the task but performing it the right way, every time. Their will always be a focus on proper technique and pace.
Attention to Movement
Basketball is a game of movements. Your whole body must be in tune with the basketball and the flow of the game. We focus a great deal on proper movements with and without the ball. Eliminating unnecessary movement (on jumpers and attacking angles). Eliminating counterproductive movements. (leaning back on drives forward, trying to explode flat footed.)
“ Shortly after earning a full division one scholarship, I realized the power of basketball as a key to endless opportunities. It has been my mission to share my knowledge and experiences with as many as I can reach.”
