Everyone “knows”

Very few “do”

We had a great summer at Impact with 215 players attending our camps. It's a privilege to work with so many motivated, committed and hard working athletes. We are thankful for the continued support!

A reminder that Fall Registration is now open.

We've had a great July with 130 players attend our 3 camps. The best part of summer is seeing how much players improve in just 1 week.

Between our on-court training, leadership development, and film study, our summer camps are one of the best places for players to develop.

Learned A LOT my first year as a head coach. Here are the TOP 10 LEARNINGS I had this past year. I hope this helps a future first year coach as well as any head coach getting after it! #WePressOn

"The most open you will ever be is when you first catch the ball" - Jay Wright

Good offensive teams never waste a closeout.

Playing off your jump shot puts constant stress on the defense

Keep it simple:

• Space = Shoot it

• No space = Drive it

• Drive stopped = Share it

[Kyle Randall @hooptalkkyle]

Player development is not rocket science. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel or over-complicate it. The game is simple, so your training should be too. Rep what happens in games from the spots they occur. Make players be intentional and move w/ purpose.

Are you the EXAMPLE or are you the EXCUSE?

This moment set the entire tone for camp!

@Dame_Lillard gave the people in the gym chills -

His dribbles sounded like a Heavy Weight Fighter punching the bag 💪

This past weekend 10 of our FV Elite players won MVP's & All-Stars at all 4 tiers of the Sr Boys Eastern Valley Championships. Which is over 40% of awards coming from FV Elite!

An amazing accomplishment and speaks to the work ethic and commitment of players in our program.

This is a masterclass of how to handle adversity!

What a life lesson.

To choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances.

[Phil Beckner @PhilBeckner]

Watching college games today -

Big takeaways for perimeter players to improve on:

1) Maintaining posture & balance on drives to the rim

2) Forceful & Consistent footwork on player movement 3s

3) Ball Placement on Rip Drives - shoulder to shoulder or hip to hip.

[PGC Basketball - Point Guard College @PGCbasketball]

Don’t Major In the Minors

Minors:
Stepbacks, fadeaways, complicated dribble combos

Majors:
Catch & shoots, finishes through contact, decisions (off ball, on the catch, on the drive, at the rim)

Spend MORE TIME in your workouts on the things that happen MOST OFTEN in games.

[Chris Oliver @BBallImmersion]

Is there a difference between coaching for development and coaching to win?

When talking development., limiting what a player is allowed to do can help them focus on the things they can do but does it take away future possibilities and motivation to improve?

[Sam Allen @CoachSamAllen]
