Win Forevor

The idea behind win forever, is to build individuals and teams that sustain excellence over time. We do this by establishing our core values as daily habits. 

COMPETE

To compete means to find the edge in everything you do. Its to to determine something worth achieving and than overcome the obstacles in the way of achieving it.

CONNECT

To connect means to value the multiplying effect of a team. A true team can achieve exponentially more than just one person. To be a true team, trust is required. 

ENJOY

To enjoy means to fight adversity with positivity. When you are a competitor and a team, there will be setbacks. Positive people stay the course through these setbacks. 

W.I.N

To W.I.N means to focus on what is important now. When you have a goal, in can be tempting to focus on the outcome. Dont worry about the outcome, worry about the process and what you can do now to achieve your goal. 

THE FOUNDATION

As a program, we need to establish these habits in our program. Once these habits are established, we can bring in like minded people.

GOOD TO GREAT

With the right people on the bus, we can begin to build leadership. Leadership is when more than one person understands the teams vision. This is when the multiplying effect begins.

BUILT TO LAST

With leaders in place the multiplying effect can realize its full potential. When everyone in our program accepts ownership of the team vision, long term  excellence can be sustained. The players and coaches become interchangeable. United in our vision, we are all leaders.

Than our program will Win Forevor. 

Breakfast Club

Our practices are 90 minutes. Our practices also cover everything you need to be successful. If you want to improve further, it is through shooting. 

Breakfast club is at 7am, 3 days a week. You shoot for 45-60 minutes than go to breakfast together in the dining hall. 

Breakfast Club Shooting:

Off the dribble shooting

5 before 4 shooting

Louisville Shooting

Bird Shooting

Australian Shooting

*all records will be recorded

(Obviously the start time will be relative to the first class at the school)

Sprinting

 Its all sprinting.

On offense, we want to sprint to the rim. We are going to set a screen so that the ballhandler can sprint to the rim. If that is taken away, we are going to hit the screener for a sprint to the rim. If that is taken away, we are going to hit the perimeter player for a shot or sprint to the rim.

In this way, we are a “sprint” first offense.

Defensively, we want to take away all sprints. We find ways to take away the offenses sprint to the rims. 

Its all Starts and Stops

 Basketball is simply a game of starting and stopping. 

Starting to run, and than stopping. Jumping, and than landing. Sliding and changing directions. Our strength and conditioning and fundamental development needs to reflect this:

RUNNING

Running applies in our first step. The whole idea is to find an angle, and than sprint for 2-3 steps into that angle. To improve our running, we need to establish equilibrium in our force couples. Our quads, hamstrings, glutes and calves all need to fire appropriately for our running become optimal. 

STOPPING

Stopping applies to our finishing at the rim. After finding an angle and sprinting into it, we need to come to a stop. To stop, we need to receive force optimally through our quads, hams, glutes and calves. 

JUMPING

We need to be explosive in our jump shot and our first step. This requires balance, deriving from the nervous system and tendon stiffness, which creates elasticity. 

SLIDING

We need glute/ham mobility and strength to slide efficiently. 

CHAGING DIRECTION

We need both core strength and a high functioning nervous system. With those two systems firing, our body will be able to process information faster.
