The Pro Skills Coach Experience (formerly the Pro Skills Coach Seminar) has already significantly changed the lives of those who have attended in the past. Most who attend are right on the verge of taking their training business to new heights or are just about to break through in the player development space. You will get on the court with Drew Hanlen to get hands-on experience and feedback on how to teach and perform player development drills. Drew invests significant time with each attendee in the small group and helps you create a blueprint to take with you when you leave!
The Talent Evaluation Experience will benefit anyone who needs to evaluate talent in their current job or wishes to break into the industry in that capacity. This spin-off of the former TPG Scouting Experience gives you significant classroom time with an expert in the field and is coupled with the hands-on experience of attending either the Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament at the Mohegan Sun (CT) (Villanova, Tennessee, North Carolina, Purdue) or the CBS Sports Classic at T-Mobile Arena (LV) (Kentucky, Ohio State, North Carolina, UCLA). Each attendee will prepare a report based on the live games and then debrief with feedback the next morning.
The Advance Scout Experience is a brand new experience designed specifically for anyone who has the responsibility of preparing teams for their next game! This Experience also gives you significant classroom time with an expert in the field and is coupled with the hands-on experience of attending the CBS Sports Classic at T-Mobile Arena (LV) (Kentucky, Ohio State, North Carolina, UCLA).
