About ELEVATE Basketball

WHAT WE ARE ALL ABOUT

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT (INSIDE):

I agree that “the way to measure greatness, is the impact you can make on other people’s lives; and the way to measure success, is the ability to enter and maintain meaningful relationships”. The reason I got into coaching is because, as a coach/mentor, I believe, is one of the best ways for us to pursue this greatness and success. At ELEVATE, we believe in an ‘INSIDE-OUT’ coaching philosophy, which focuses on the character development and building of strong core/moral values in each individual. Using the game of basketball, our passion is to teach players about living with INTEGRITY and such inner disciplines as: commitment, work ethic, and perseverance, which will set players up for success on the court, in the classroom, and ultimately in life! ELEVATE strives to create community in the program, by developing youth who are ‘others-focused’ and learn what it means to be a great teammate!

SKILL DEVELOPMENT (OUT):

We strive to provide an avenue for athletes to skillfully & cognitively become the best they can be at the game of basketball. I was fortunate to have had a number of great avenues, comprised of great coaches & teammates to impact my skill development and understanding of the game of basketball. ELEVATE was constructed to provide athletes similar avenues that I was blessed to participate in as a youth basketball player, which made an overall significance in my personal basketball development. As well, we provide the opportunity for athletes to development their athleticism, by encouraging them to be multi-sport athletes.
