❄️ 🏆BBL Season XV (Winter) Results.

Congratulations to the Spurs from Group 1 and the Timberwolves from Group 2.

Both winning teams demonstrated why they were the best just that: Teams. Their teamwork, selflessness and ex*****on was just beautiful to watch.
Both the 76ers (G1) and the Spurs (G2) showed absolute heart and I no doubt believe they will learn from their defeats.

Also, congratulations to Weston Johnston for not only being voted the Most Improved Player from this season, but also being voted the Most Valuable Player from the Championship game. The second only time that has happened in our 15 seasons.

Weston J, Knox, Isaac, Cove, Ari, Milo B, Camden and Baden ALL contributed massively to their win and deserve to be mentioned individually.

Group 2 saw Graham Shelley being voted as the Most Improved Player and an amazing all around performance from an all around great human being: Nixon Wilde saw him unanimously voted as the Most Valuable Player.

What I loved most about this team was their inclusiveness. Everyone was involved and their team spirit was so strong.
Dezy, Emi, Brielle, Nixon, Sheldon, Q, Ethan and Makai, Thank you for showing us what teamwork truly is about.

Would have regretted not making the quick trip for Wrestlemania Sunday.
Amazing show. Amazing experience. Grateful we got to go.

One of the best things about Spring Break is having the kids home in the morning. While I’m training, usually Bindi will come out and either watch or ask to join in.

Her simple progression on the bench press today.
1. Dowel
2. Add looped bands (no resistance) just purely to create awareness.
3. She wanted it to be heavier so, added low hanging 5’s to again create awareness and ‘feel’ for the unloading at the bottom as a cue to stabilize and then press.
4. Finally, high hanging 5’s so the weight didn’t unload at the bottom.

Proud of my little girl and so happy she has taken an interest in being strong. 😍 💪🏻

Also, she ‘needed ‘s music on’ so she could get stronger.

Must be Wrestlemania season!

Super Mario Galaxy Movie Private Screening for (a good chunk of) the Breakthrough kids!

This was the 7th movie I’ve been able to do this.
It was very gratifying looking around the theater at a little over half the kids I get to train 2-3 days a week year round.
They all had such big smiles on their faces while watching the movie, it was fun to see.

Appreciate this very special community. ❤️

Achieve failure.

In order to know how strong, fast or fit you are, you have to know your limits. But the only way to truly know those limits, is to truly achieve failure.

We are almost done wrapping up our quarterly testing for our young athletes with their age appropriate tests. If you have a kid that is in our program and they haven’t come home and had the conversation with you about the difference between quitting and failing, ask them about it.

Tom Platz famously has spoken about the concept of truly achieving failure and sparking growth from that failure.

In these snap shots, you see Will, brace, fail, realize his failure and then understands with an inward acknowledgment and smirk.
Just prior to this lift, he got 315. Here was 320. Could he get it? Perhaps. Maybe another day. But on this day, he (and I) knew that 320 lbs was HIS limit and he achieved that failure.

I’m so proud of him for this. He wasn’t concerned about his peers and their numbers. He didn’t conveniently bow out when they stopped. He was on a mission.

Our tests: Chin-ups, pushups, the beep test, bench, squats and deadlifts (for the older athletes) to name a few, are all opportunities for them to learn what that crossroad of quitting and failing is all about.

Great teachers for life. When life gets hard, do we quit or do we give our absolute best effort regardless of the odds?

I’ve said it before and I’ll continue to say it, our program is not just about basketball, strength or conditioning, it’s about human development; body, mind and soul.

We are almost done with testing, but I’ll say it right now, I am beyond proud of all these kids for their efforts, their struggles and their trust.

No one is more ready to play for the Cougs than Cole.
Testing Vertical’s this week with the little ones.

I don’t know what’s funnier, Cole’s face when I raise the or Knox’s commentary as he records the video.

I want all of my athletes (aged 5-19) to be so familiar and well versed with various tests that the NCAA and NBA use, so they are confident enough to perform when they are asked to do so.

With many athletes, there is a learning curve on how to perform athletic testing and this will help eliminate that curve so they get the best possible result for them.

It’s also lots of fun to do 😊.

Simply put…
THIS is why I do what I do.

Look at their faces, cheering on one of their classmates.

THIS is Bigger than Basketball.

Way to go Coy. 💪🏻 👏🏻

Top Plays from our Championship Night this past season.
From Brooks’ bomb to Kemp’s two massive threes and everything in between.

Proud of these kids.

Thank you so much to our Videographer: Gavin Fothergill for capturing these moments.

2025 BBL Autumn Season Most Improved Players:

Group 1 Cole
It seems like just yesterday Cole started with us. He was eager and enthusiastic and super floppy. His body began adapting almost right away. His strength and coordination along with his balance just seemed to keep improving every week.
Then, the season began and his body, competitiveness and love for the game just took over.
He was a major contributor on his team and they made it all the way to the Championship. At half team, he was even in heavy discussion for the MVP award!
Cole is going to be a monster. A force to be reckoned with and it’s going to be so much fun to watch. Proud of you Cole!

Group 2 Beck
Beck is pretty new to the program and I think he started the season off timid, not because he didn’t have confidence, but sometimes kids don’t feel like they deserve to be the ones succeeding. They feel like they just need to go out there and help but won’t give themselves permission to take a prominent role. Well, that would change. One of the blessings in helping kids is you get to be very honest with them and almost overnight they can rewire their mindset. It’s actually very admirable. Beck started to use his gifts; his size, footwork, scoring ability and rebounding.
The team he played on (The Raptors) really started to come together in their last 3-4 games and I believe they realized “if we played like this from the beginning, we could have taken it all.”
Proud of you Beck. Keep it going!

Group 3 Miss Dezy
Dezy, over the course of this season truly devoted herself to getting better. She became one of the main ball handlers, key defenders and scorers on the Opals. The Opals were serious contenders and Dezy performed every week.
She is very coachable. She will work on the things you tell her to work on. She is a great teammate and if she pursues basketball, whatever team she chooses to play on should be very grateful to have her. 😊

Congratulations to all three winners. I am so proud of you all. 👏🏻

Congratulations to our Breakthrough Basketball League: 2025 Autumn Season Champs!

Group 1: Black Mambas
Group 2: Thunder
Group 3: Raptors

I tell the kids this all the time and this night proved it: The best passing team always wins. These three teams moved the ball beautifully, played selflessly and got the job done.

It’s so much fun watching these kids blossom from where they started to where they are now and they will only get better as time goes on and they stay consistent.

Congratulations Mambas, Thunder & Raptors!
