🥷🏼🩵🖤 The most important part of a great floater is great touch.. Getting the ball up quickly with a soft release and enough height to finish over the big.

Pro DJ Laster works elbow to elbow, following the key and getting into floaters inside the paint. The focus is getting to our spots and finishing with great touch over the defense.

Put a minute on the clock - See how many you can make in a minute.

Make a certain amount - Make 25-50 and use different footwork and angles.

Master your touch, Master your floater, Consistency Wins!

🏀 GREAT shooters are STRAIGHT shooters!

Olivia P. (LEAD Academy 🦁) is working on making 1 main fix here that leads to her shots now being STRAIGHT!

Before making this fix, she was missing left, right and did not have a consistent point of reference. She wasn’t aware of what was holding her back!

This is why it’s important to have the right information about your shot individually to know what is holding YOU back to becoming a straight shooter!

The first step is knowing what is holding you back.

The second step is attacking everyday what that thing is.

Consistency wins!

Congratulations Tate!

Tate officially made his high school JV basketball team!

For the past two months, he has shown up every week ready to learn, work hard and get better. He stayed coachable, trusted the process and remained committed to reaching his goal.

What makes this accomplishment even more special? Tate had never played on an organized team before—but he didn’t allow that to limit him. He came in, locked in and earned his opportunity!

We’re incredibly proud of you, Tate, and excited to continue watching you grow. This is only the beginning! 💪🔥

A MONTH OF WORK. A LOT OF GROWTH. 🏀📈

When Sean came to Vara Skills Academy a month ago for our individual sessions we assessed where his game was and quickly identified the areas we wanted to improve before middle school tryouts.

🎯 Tighter handle
⚡ Getting shifty with the ball
⏱️ Playing with pace
🏀 Building a more consistent shot
💪 Adding to his finishing package
• Extension finishes
• Floater development

Then it was time to WORK.

Sean showed up consistently, stayed coachable, and has absolutely crushed it over the last month! 🔥

That’s what development is about.

When you train with us, our goal isn’t to just put you through drills. We want to identify the areas of your game that need improvement, build a plan around them, and ADD VALUE to your game.

We’ll provide the coaching, teaching, and accountability but you have to be willing to put in the work.

🏀 One of the best parts of what I do is knowing I get to play a small part in a player’s journey.

Every player has different goals, different challenges, and a different path. My job is simply to meet them where they are, push them, teach them, and help prepare them for wherever the game takes them next.

I’m incredibly thankful for every player and family who puts their trust in me and allows me to be a part of that process. That trust is something I’ll never take for granted.

The relationships will always mean more than the workouts.

Thank you, Alison, for the kind words! 🙏

Braddock was VSA’s first client since moving back to the panhandle!

For the last month he’s shown up consistently twice a week and it’s been a lot of fun to see his development in such a short time..

This is what it’s about, breathing confidence into you guys through the game of basketball, the confidence on the court breathes into everyday life!

Thankful to be able to play a small role in B’s development as a player, but more importantly as a young man.

Thank you WCBC 🙏🏽

Serving these last 2 years at my Alma Mater has been such a great experience in many ways. I have made so many great memories with my family and everyone that has supported. I am thankful for Dr. Paul Chappell for giving me the opportunity and all of the wonderful people at West Coast. Thank you to every player that I was able to coach these last few years. My prayer is that they will serve God with their lives and use their talents and abilities for God’s Glory! Lastly, thank you to everyone behind the scenes: Dr. R, Dr. Goetsch, AD Justin Engelman, Coach Jorge, Coach Shaw, EJ Johnson, managers, media team, announcers, advancement team, volunteers serving at the games and professors and staff investing into our young men. You guys are the difference makers and I am so grateful for your service.

Excited to watch from a distance all the new Eagles coming in and chasing greatness! The best is yet to come!

Go Eagles! 🦅❤️
