@WmWeedon Based on your experience, would you recommend going short term carnivore before moderating to a mixed but whole foods diet?

Or would you suggest going whole foods directly?

Especially for someone needing to drop weight and inflammation.

This is an excellent evaluation of Coach Brooks and his coaches and program and exactly nails why Leah is going to play there. Can't wait for the season!

CONCEPTUALLY THINKING BASKETBALL: The Bart Brooks Blueprint

@BelmontWBB @BartABrooks

Coach Bart Brooks at Belmont has cracked the code on sustainable program building through strategic undervaluation arbitrage in recruiting.

THE SYSTEM:
Brooks operates on a “family business” model - care, competition, and growth intersect to create championship culture. His teams consistently rank among national leaders in three-point efficiency while maintaining defensive adaptability. The tactical approach maximizes roster potential through skills-based development rather than athletic superiority.

THE RECRUITING EDGE:
Brooks has identified market inefficiency - he targets overlooked players with internal belief who are often undersized or underestimated. His best athletes play with a chip on their shoulder, possessing relentless drive and team-first mentality. He prioritizes fit over flash, building signing classes that complement each other culturally and tactically.

THE DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK:
Strengths-focused approach maximizes marginal value per player. Brooks invests in building skills, confidence, and basketball IQ while providing creative freedom once fundamentals are mastered. The program includes mental health support and academic excellence, creating well-rounded student-athletes.

THE RESULTS:
Multiple conference championships, top-10 national rankings for winning percentage, consistent all-conference selections, and professional opportunities for graduates. Teams consistently overachieve talent level through superior culture and systematic development.

THE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE:
Brooks has mastered identifying undervalued assets in recruiting. He builds programs that outperform talent level through culture, ball movement, spacing intelligence, and tactical flexibility. His approach creates sustainable competitive advantages through team-oriented play and holistic development.

THE PHILOSOPHY:
“Players first. Family always. Excellence without ceiling.” Brooks treats overlooked recruits as undervalued assets, developing their unique strengths while maintaining championship standards. The result: a system that scales over time with consistent success and graduate achievement.

Brooks represents the intersection of basketball intelligence and human development. He’s not just coaching games - he’s building a system that creates value from overlooked assets while maintaining elite competitive standards.

This is program architecture at its finest - where culture meets competition and overlooked becomes unstoppable.
