We've been drilling one thing hard lately in training. Fewer dribbles. Most players think more dribbles means more skill. It doesn't. It usually just means you're stalling instead of making a decision. Every extra dribble is a chance for the defense to reset, for help to arrive, for your window to close. The best players in the world don't dribble more than they have to. They catch it, read it, and go. Lately, the rule we've been using in every session. In triple threat you get about a second to decide. Drive, shoot, or pass. Once you commit to a drive, you've got a max 3 dribbles to finish it or make your next move. You're not allowed to just dribble around hoping something opens up. You make a read and you attack it. This isn't about killing your handles or telling you to stop being creative. It's about training your brain to make fast decisions instead of hunting for a highlight. Efficient basketball is boring to watch and impossible to guard. Catch it, read it, attack. That's the whole game at a high level. If you watch good players closely, you'll notice they rarely dribble more than three or four times even when they're creating something. The wasted movement isn't there. Everything has a purpose.

Here in this video, we are going to focus on how to make basketball simple so that players are more effective. Now, I know, judging by the title, you would think, "Why would he use James Harden as an example?" When you get to the video, you will see why. We need to stop overcomplicating basketball; keep it as simple as possible. While you are in the gym to learn skills, those skills do not work unless the following comes first. That's what this video will talk about.

A few things are shifting starting now: - Coach Jeremy is moving to Monday/Wednesday (was Tue/Thu). Girls group — since we're averaging 9-10 players, we'll be sharing the side court on those days, so space will be a little tighter. Not a big deal, just want you aware. - Private sessions are coming back, on my terms. I used to turn down a lot of one-on-one requests because that's all parents wanted — but this summer I dropped private sessions entirely to get as many players in the gym as possible with no hiccups. Now they're back: Thursday + Friday, scheduled around my availability. A lot of you have games on Fridays, so this lets us build around your actual schedules instead of a fixed slot. - Membership now covers Monday-Thursday. You told us you'd rather train whenever you're free Mon-Thu than be locked into two fixed days that end up conflicting. Quick clarification: Friday was never part of general membership access — it was always reserved for select athletes. Since Friday is now availability-based, membership covers Mon-Thu moving forward.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Training is canceled today. Not sure if there was miscommunication or something but the owner never opened the garage door for me to open the gym. I’ll make up the session another day.

Hey everyone, this is just an update about the number change that will be happening soon starting next month. Some of you have my main number and others have my old phone number that I kind of turned into my business number. Specifically the 469-901-9374 number. If you have contacted me through that number, starting next month, all texts will be through this new number. 971-434-3916. If you have my personal phone number, you don't have to worry about this. I'm making a lot of changes to make things easier for myself. Also, I know many people often ask me how my schedule looks, and while I get the times some people do better with having an actual calendar to see. So that will be fixed and updated by next week.
