TECHNOLOGY FOR
BIGGER FUTURE

Based on my experience, I can say the most successful youth basketball clubs use the most effective methods available around. Coaches are able to develop all parameters of sport performance the way it is maximized into full potential without having a negative affects on the organizm. Sport genes or talent in this processes play secondery role.

Experience show that most important is to catch the player interest with very attractive training content, through which he/she learns new technical skills. Equal to that is to impose in organism optimal general motor-abilities development, that respects physiological laws without negative impacts. On my camps I show players how to set the strong fundamentals for future professional journey.

FINAL FOUR
U18 ISLAS CANARIAS

During the previous camps we saw the games of four best teams of Canary Island in category u18 and u16. This time, we are going to see a very attractive youth games of Final Four u16 of Islas Canarias. It is such an inspiration to see those games at first hand. Players find new inspiration. Tempo of games is much higher than the one they are used to, technical skills of Spanish young players are also on the higher level.

I see that everything goes more easy in  Spain. Players uncover new resources of motivation when they see players of a „different kind“, or when they have a chance to confront them. You can see an instant change in their approach immediately at the practice.

AT SPANISH ACB LEAGUE GAMES

ACB LEAGUE is the best national league in Europe. At the arena, campers experience the power of spanish basketball. It is very visible everywhere, it starts at the gates in front of the arena,  where lots of fans are assembled long time before the game starts.  The experience is always overwhelming to somebody who has love and passion for basketball.
