If you don’t know the reasons behind our methods, you’ll have a hard time understanding. But here’s what it looks like with the Pacers. Great team and classy organization!
.@TrainImpossible Micah Lancaster uses Decision Mode on The Gun 14X Smart Pass to train aggressive scorers with intent. Players know what shot they want while staying ready for the possibility of something else. Purpose beats randomness every time.
Do you know travel rules? You gotta Release the Pivot!
Do the world a favor and share this with anyone who still needs help understanding pivot rules. 🏀📚
The answer isn’t to end AAU.
It’s to fix the system.
✅ Less wasted tournaments.

Pivots are undertrained.
Start here- train these three at high speeds first.

Luka’s not overly quick.
He doesn’t jump high.
But he freezes the best defenders in the league.
Over 20,000 people voted on what makes him so hard to guard.
His timing.
Between his dribble… and his feet. What do you think?
This combination is elite! You might want to consider adding this to your Samsonite Ziplite 3.0 Hardside Spinner Luggage set 💼 like @DesmondClaude

We help players become intentional, composed, and effective on the court.
Here’s a 9-year-old with WNBA-level focus. 🏀💪
I’ll work with anyone willing to work hard and focus!
Kids don’t need to be babied—we can push them, challenge them, and expect BIG things. This girl came all the way from Texas to be challenged. 🔥
Travel or 🧼?
Sure, these are technically travels, but they’re also buckets. 🏀🔥
Confidence and quickness make it hard for officials to call in real time.
Players need to know the rules and possibly how to push the boundaries.
Simple concepts like this aren’t taught enough—whether it’s skills or situational plays.
Mastering how to fake a pass to complete a play is a huge playmaking ability.
The key? Make the fake during ‘step 1’ so your final step is all about reading and responding.
The Cut Dribble is a skill rising in popularity, inspired by players like Chris Paul and Kyrie. 🏀
