COACHING PHILOSOPHY

 

The Big Apple Basketball Staff believes that our success in training basketball players has come not only from our ability to coach players, but to TEACH them.  We are committed to fundamental skill development and helping players improve their knowledge of basketball both physically and mentally.  Basketball fundamentals are the foundation for player development and success, on and off the court, and our staff trains players of all levels using this as our guiding principle. 

 

At Big Apple Basketball we believe that by training and conditioning players’ minds and skills, we will also build their self-confidence.  It is not only imperative to teach players how to play the game, but to teach them why what they are learning is essential to their success.  We work to help players develop conditioned physical and mental habits through carefully selected drills, exercises, and game situations that build strength and agility while helping our players to THINK and UNDERSTAND the game.

 

Finally, we hope that all of our players genuinely love the game of basketball as much as we do.  The Big Apple Basketball Staff has a tremendous amount of passion and respect for the game and for what it can teach us about life.  We enjoy teaching and are looking forward to helping players develop to their athletic potential.
