Most players train skills... & that's it.

But as coaches know — there's so much more to the game — especially for athletes who want to become complete players & compete at the highest levels.

At PGC camps, we train skills AND these 5 things.

a thread. 👇
1. BASKETBALL IQ

Great players contribute to their team in ways the average fan never notices.

However, good coaches always notice these “little things.” So, for players to become great, they need to learn these things too.
2. MINDSET

Most players play the game with little thought about their mindset.

Yet, at every level of play, a winning mindset separates average players from ‘the great ones.’

We go deep in the classroom & on court teaching players how to develop the mindset of a champion.
3. LEADERSHIP

It takes energy & intelligence to ‘run the show’ for a team.

Players have to inspire teammates, foster a sense of urgency & get others to work together.

A PGC camp is like a ‘leadership laboratory’ to develop these skills.
4. CONFIDENCE

What if you could transform your perspective towards setbacks, losing, injuries, being benched, unfair treatment, and all the things that rob you of your confidence & joy?

Well, you can — and we’ll teach you how.
5. COMMUNICATION

Coaches always tell their players to communicate on the court, but most players don’t know what to say & resort to useless ‘chatter.’

The good news: at summer sessions, we’ll teach players exactly what to say & how to say it so they leave elite communicators.
Our summer schedule is now live!

Registration opens in 4 days. 19 hours. 5 minutes. 10 seconds.

As facilities become available, we will make every effort to add camps in California, Washington, Oregon, Utah, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Ontario!

What if I told you that one of the most under taught aspects of the game is also one of the most vital in determining your team's success?

What is it you ask?

Shot Selection

Thread ⏰ 👇👇👇
1/ Define it

If we don’t define to our players what good and bad shots are, how are they supposed to know?

The definition also can’t be simplistic or binary (good/bad), that isn’t nuanced enough.

So let’s define it with more detail.
2/ The Chart

We use a shot selection chart that was created by our founder Dick DeVenzio. Here it is:

9 - A gimme
7- Open shot in your range
5- Average shot, typically contested
3- Third grade shot/heavily contested - shot you typically see a 3rd grader throwing up

On deep states of attention, awareness and being "in the zone."

A THREAD

Bill Russell, the key player on the most successful basketball team ever (the Boston Celtics, who won 11 championships in 13 years), described his experience of playing "in the zone" as follows: “Every so often a Celtics game would heat up so that it became...

...more than a physical or even mental game, and would be magical. That feeling is difficult to describe, and I certainly never talked about it when I was playing. When it happened, I could feel my play rise to a new level.
