Become an elite
Shot Maker
Games are won because every player is on-point with all of their skills—running, ball control, court awareness. But at the end of the day, there’s one thing that makes or breaks a game.
Putting the ball in the basket.
It’s the shot that puts the numbers up on the scoreboard.
“Playing at the next level is a journey worth taking, but you have to be realistic about where you’re at and what you need to do to get to that next level.”
