🔴 LIVE COMMUNITY ZOOM CALL — SATURDAY 10/3 @ 12 PM EST Join us for our next community call as we unpack this & I want to hear from you! Zoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85240434725 🏀 Today's post: 'WHAT I LEARNED TRAINING A CLUB TEAM IN CHARLOTTE & DIVINE APPOINTMENT WITH NBA SHARP SHOOTER I just returned from an incredible weekend in Charlotte working with a basketball academy (Hoops Krew) that is building around a European club model. Taking a group of 8th grade boys for 1 year through a complete immersion of training in all areas: competitive games, training, weight room, nutrition, setting goals, devotionals, identity, confidence, film, etc. And we didn't just train on court for their basketball skills. We trained the whole player: mind, body, spirit, soul. My role is to come out there quarterly over the next year & really focus on development of their "identity, confidence & spiritually." So for this first visit this is what we focused on: 🏀 On-court player development 🧠 Confidence workshops 📝 Player Development Plans (PDPs) 🙏 Prayer walk 📖 The Origins of Basketball story 👨‍👩‍👧 Parent development session One of the highlights of the weekend was also an unexpected encounter with former 10 year NBA sharpshooter Anthony Morrow, who is one of the parents involved with the academy. It was a powerful 'divine appointment' as I call. I spoke to all the parents at a dinner. After I had an opportunity to spend time with Anthony and his wife, speak into them and pray over them. After hearing the Origins of Basketball story and talking afterward, Anthony told me: "It struck many chords in the heart & mind." That conversation stayed with me along with some other powerful conversations I had with other parents in the program. Here are 4 big takeaways I'm bringing home & want to share with you: 1️⃣ TRAIN THE IDENTITY — NOT JUST THE SKILLSET We spend thousands of hours teaching players how to shoot, dribble, pass, defend and get stronger.

This is a 1 hour masterclass jam packed with amazing value, tips, advice & action plan for players & parents! I was joined by former D1/NBA point Guard Joseph Lewis who had 20 D1 offers & played at 3 different D1 programs (Univ. of Louisville, Penn State, Cleveland State). Also Coach Matt Sanders with over 30 years of coaching experience & recruiting advice. This is now uploaded into the "CLASSROOM" tab under the course name "Masterclasses & Workshops". Also the PDF download is included here. I would love to hear your feedback or any questions you may have! ------------- ** Point Guard Clinic & Workshop - Charlotte, NC *** 9/26 - Saturday 12p-3p If you're around the Charlotte area I'll be partnering again with HoopsKrew Academy & running a powerful event!
