WHO IS PRIVATE INSTRUCTION FOR?
Our Individual Development program is for any age, male or female, who is serious about improving their basketball skills. Whether you are a beginner, have aspirations to play at the college or pro level, or anywhere in between, private instruction can prove extremely effective in helping you reach your goals and prepare for the season ahead and beyond.
WHY PRIVATE INSTRUCTION?
Private instruction focuses specifically on the individual. aturally, each player is different. Experience, age, skill levels, mental approaches all vary from person to person. When working one-on-one with an athlete, we are able to cater our training specifically to the needs of the individual providing more significant results.
PRE-ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION
All Private Instruction sessions begin with a comprehensive Pre-Assessment (physical & mental) and a complete Skill Evaluation. This initial evaluative process is essential before the teaching process can begin. Identifying strengths and weaknesses is crucial, but our instructors are equally concerned with getting to know each athlete as a person. We understand that each individual has a different personality, different goals and may be motivated differently. Our ultimate goal is to help each individual reach their potential, and to successfully do this we must help each athlete accurately identify where they are starting from and where they want to go. Our job will be to help direct them on how to get there. This pre-assessment and evaluation process will be followed by a thorough “Game Plan” and specific goal-setting. A designated time period will be charted out for achieving goals and individual training begins thereafter.
CONFIDENCE / PERFORMANCE GOALS INSTRUCTION / DEVELOPING HABITS
Our motto is, “practice doesn't make perfect....rather perfect practice makes perfect,” and we have developed an extremely thorough, diversified basketball curriculum for individual development. After the initial evaluation and skill assessment our customized plans include comprehensive drill sets specific to each individual.
Usually the teaching process can be narrowed down to developing sound fundamental habits. Often in the early stages of development we attempt to “undo” incorrect habits. Naturally, developing new habits are a time-consuming process.
Many young players struggle with confidence. Fear of making mistakes on the court can just about paralyze any player. Along with a lack of confidence usually comes a lack of aggression. We work to build a solid skill set ultimately leading to increased confidence for the player. Any athlete playing the game with more confidence has a better chance to reach their potential. We believe the best way to develop confidence is through working hard and consistency!
