From ELEVATE Pure Shooting Training System to TWU (USports)!

ELEVATE Basketball is proud to announce that Carter Van Der Waarde has been given a red shirt position on the 2024-25 Trinity Western University roster! Carter Van Der Waarde started playing basketball at ELEVATE in the Hoops Night and loved coming each week. He would lay his reversible jersey on the ground in his room the night before, in anticipation for another hyped HOOPS NIGHT! Carter’s love for the game went from fun to passion instantly as he fell in love with the repetitions of shooting the basketball. Carter played on various club teams for ELEVATE and has been a long time mentor coach, seeking to encourage young aspiring players to follow his footsteps. Carter’s ability to shoot the basketball significantly ignited after he took on a challenge from Coach Janzen. Coach Janzen challenged Carter to thoroughly complete the PURE SHOOTING TRAINING SYSTEM (online shooting program with printable logsheets), created personally by Coach Janzen himself (www.pureshootingtrainingsystem.com). Little did Carter know that he just signed up for a 3 month elite level shooting program, where he tested in at the “intermediate level’ of the program. Carter was diligent and never missed a shooting workout. He was disciplined and committed logging all his results in the daily shooting logbook. To get the all the shooting drills in some days, his dad Chris Van Der Waarde (current ELEVATE camp coach), installed flood lights on the house so that Carter could complete the workouts. Carter Van Der Waarde is officially the first youth basketball player that has fully completed the PURE SHOOTING TRAINING SYSTEM (intermediate level), proving it by handing in his logbook fully completed (3 month in duration). Carter attests that the 2-week shooting technique workout, the over 110+ shooting drills took his shooting performance to an entire different level. It is no surprise that Coach Pridie at TWU noticed his great form/technique, and his sheer ability to shoot the basketball from anywhere, any range on the court. We at ELEVATE are proud of your accomplishment and you are so deserving of this opportunity. Keep shooting the ball with passion and confidence! Let’s Go Spartans!!!!!

If you are an aspiring knock-down, lights out, green light shooter, we highly recommend the PURE SHOOTING TRAINING SYSTEM personally created by Coach Steve Janzen. With over 330+ online shooting drills/videos, Coach Janzen personally takes you through each drill, explaining and demonstrating each drill in every video! The shooting program starts with testers, to determine which level you enter the shooting program (beginner, intermediate, advanced), each level is 3 months in duration. Next you are taken through the technique focused shooting program, which is proven to help correct your shooting form/technique. Once you start the official program, you are provided with a log book to record all your results for each shooting drill. During the program you will be given warm ups, shooter mindset insights, and much more. Purchase the PURE SHOOTING TRAINING SYSTEM TODAY! @ www.pureshootingtrainingsystem.com
