individual enhancement program 

what is an Individual enhancement plan?

An Individual Enhancement Program or Plan (IEP) is a written statement that
describes the goals, adjustments and strategies to meet a player’s
individual development needs so they can reach their potential.

AN INDIVIDUAL ENHANCEMENT PLAN IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT…

  • Supports the coaching staff to develop a meaningful developmental program for individual players and to track progress DEALS the staff and player made to each other.
  • Provides an opportunity to share information between the player, staff, family and other support professionals.
  • Helps programs to determine resources required to achieve the player’s developmental goals.
  • Promotes players confidence and engagement through involvement in the process.

As a basketball player, your development extends beyond technical abilities and encompasses essential traits like character, leadership, and resilience.

You will be required to research topics and study influential figures that are important to you so you can effectively enhance your overall personal growth.

what They’re Saying about what it takes to be successful

player Testimonials

“For sure, 100%.  I still got that role player in my head like my whole life every day knowing that your’re off ball and you want to keep getting better and you know like you could be that guy.  You know what I’m saying?  But you know you gotta take that role”

 Role Players Who Can Make Star Leaps

Mikal Bridges

“I mean everyday.  I mean since you know 20 years.  It was an every day process trying to figure out strengths and weakness for example, jumping ability.  My vertical was a 40.  It wasn’t a 46 or 45.  My hands were big but they wasn’t massive.  You gotta figure out ways to strengthen them so your hands are strong enough to be able to palm a ball and do the things you need to do.  Quickness.  I was quick but not insanely quick.  I was fast but not ridiculously fast. Right, so I had to rely on skill a lot more.  I had to rely on angles a lot more.  I had to study the game a lot more.  And…I enjoyed that though.”

 Mindset of a Winner

Kobe Bryant

“You couldn’t handle the stress of an NBA game day.  Everything that you do from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM has to be conducive to being your best at 7:00.  You know how stressful that is?  Stressful as hell.”
