This clinic will teach you how the journey to Varsity Basketball begins now. We share the proven strategies to begin this amazing journey today.
Here is the truth, in Dripping Springs, Bowie, and Lake Travis… there are currently 48 to 64 players on their respective middle school teams feeding into DSHS, LTHS, and Bowie. On average only 5 players from those 48-64 will make it to Varsity.
At private schools the route can be easier, but not always as many private schools are now becoming powerhouses in this area.
The Takeaway
Doing what every one else is doing, is going to get you the results of most everyone else…. not surviving the cut.
We outline the mindset, the skills, the drills, and the habits you must adopt to strive for your own success.
In today’s session we will also go thru a sample workout you can do in your driveway to start working out like a Varsity player. Here is a preview:
