About Breakthrough Basketball

Breakthrough Basketball provides a variety of resources and information for basketball coaches, trainers, players, parents, and fans. Some of the resources include instructional DVDs, eBooks, camps, apps, newsletters, online videos, online articles, and forums.

On this site, you'll find information about virtually all aspects of basketball, with the emphasis on fundamentals, positive impact coaching, and "doing the right thing"!

Thanks to our experienced group of coaches, ranging all the way from youth coaches to the NBA, you will find new and extremely valuable information for players, parents, and coaches of all levels and ages.

We are very passionate about coaching basketball and we firmly believe that coaches have very important responsibilities and amazing opportunities to have a positive impact on their player's lives.

Too many coaches get caught up in winning only to lose sight of the bigger picture. Don't get us wrong, we're very competitive, but we never let winning take precedence over what really matters.

We are here to help you improve your basketball IQ and remind you of what's important.

Our primary objective is two fold...

  • Provide you with comprehensive resources and virtually everything you need when it comes to basketball.

  • Make a positive impact on players' lives either directly or by educating coaches and parents around the world.
