Our Approach
Dare Greatly
I Do, We Do, You Do
I Do, We Do, You Do
How do we truly develop mental grit? We go beyond the buzz words and use proven tools to conquer the mental game of basketball with this technique.
I Do, We Do, You Do
I Do, We Do, You Do
I Do, We Do, You Do
This classic technique treats the basketball court as a classroom (for good reason) to increase Basketball IQ and build habits on and off the court.
The 1% Approach
I Do, We Do, You Do
The 1% Approach
Creating goals is a good thing. Understanding how to approach those goals, as teams and individuals, makes all the difference with this technique..
Dare Greatly
To be great, we must be present in the arena.
The Dare Greatly concept focuses on the team itself, negating the impact of critics and naysayers outside of the program (including fans and opponents, alike). This concept focuses not on winning, but developing the grit necessary to win (despite the critics). Thinking logically, our inputs in any activity always lead to the outputs; in this instance, our efforts, discipline, and organization lead to grit, tenacity, and perseverance. Those outputs then lead to the outcome. If done right, the outcome is a win, on and off the court.
To dare greatly, our work focuses on some key questions:
- Who are the critics that show up in your world of basketball? By definition, are they in the arena with us?
- Have the critics (no matter who they are) ever impacted how you have practiced or played?
- If you dare greatly in your efforts, why does it make winning or losing better than just winning without daring greatly?
- To dare greatly means we can grow from our efforts, even if we win or lose. Why?
- How does the vulnerability of being in the arena create a winning culture for a team?

I do, We do, You do
Approach the basketball court as just another classroom. Really.
Too often, we forget that the basketball court is in fact a classroom. While most players will say the court is more fun and engaging than a classroom, we can use similar teaching methodologies to build our players’ Basketball IQ. In this approach, the “I Do” part is lead by the coach, teaching skill development, conditioning, and different sets; the “We Do” is the heart of practice, where our players practice what has been taught; the “You Do” is often left to game-time only, but that can be a mistake. By empowering our players to become teachers/leaders themselves on and off the court, we help them develop the skills that increase their IQ, beyond the Xs and Os.
Some people are visual learners, where seeing things helps them grow knowledge. Some people are auditory learners, learning best by hearing something in order to comprehend it. And still, others are kinesthetic learners, where they require hands-on activities and physical engagement. However you learn, the same is true on the basketball court.
Our work helps players take more responsibility for the learning process in the “You Do” phase, especially through learning program’s plays, managing weekly planning, completing film and scouting reports, and conducting post-game reviews. All of these steps will help increase Basketball IQ, and become more active in growth, especially off the court.
