He doesn’t believe in the shot fakes or reading the defense, and his “triple threat” is completely different from basketball’s traditional shoot, pass or dribble mentality. Breakthrough Basketball’s Don Kelbick is one of the most unique thinkers in basketball, and the NBA and world basketball community are listening.

Coaches like Jeff Van Gundy have trusted Don and his methods to develop the skills and mentality that players need to succeed in the toughest league in Earth, the NBA. Players like Raja Bell, Bruce Bowen, Carlos Arroyo and JJ Barea have all revolutionized their game skills and mental approach to the game under Don’s unconventional approach to skill training.

In this Jim Huber Podcast, you will learn coaching and training secrets from a man who has literally spent his life immersed in the game as a player, a college assistant and head coach, an NBA Scout, and now one of the most sought after skill and mentality trainers in the USA. As we produced this particular podcast, we marveled at the depth and unconventional wisdom Don shared.
