A structured mental training program designed to help players build confidence, focus, resilience, and freedom, so your skill actually shows up in games.
Mental Skills Academy
What's Inside:
A guided daily system combining reflection, challenges, and applied tools to build real psychological skills over time, not just motivation.
Short on-court add-ons that integrate mental skills directly into your workouts, pickup runs, and games, so mindset translates to performance.
Educational breakdowns covering confidence, focus, flow state, routines, emotional control, creativity, and performance psychology, explained simply and practically.
A progressive meditation system designed for athletes, teaching you how (and why) to use different forms of meditation to sharpen awareness, calm nerves, and reset mentally.
This isn’t theory. It’s mental training you can actually use on the court and in life!
THE BAM DIFFERENCE
Most players talk about mindset. Very few actually train it.
Mental skills only matter if they show up when the game speeds up.
This program is designed to help you apply confidence, focus, and emotional control in live basketball environments, not just in isolation.
Mental skills trained under realistic pressure
Tools designed to work in pickup, practice, and games
Focus on transfer, not just awareness
You don’t need perfect conditions to build elite mental skills.
This program gives you daily mental training you can do on your own, then teaches you how to apply it when you step back on the court.
Daily mental reps without needing a team
Portable tools you can use anywhere
Clear bridges from solo work → live play
This isn’t hype. It’s skill development for the mind.
You’ll learn how to recognize patterns in your thoughts, control emotional swings, and build consistency — without relying on speeches or temporary motivation.
Clear frameworks instead of vague advice
Skills you can repeat under stress
Mental habits that compound over time
You’ll notice:
Mistakes don’t spiral. Pressure doesn’t overwhelm you. You trust yourself more, and it shows.
You stay present longer, recover faster after mistakes, and enter flow states more consistently.
Not based on makes or misses but on preparation, awareness, and control for real, consistent confidence.
SUCCESS STORIES

West Virginia
“In just two months of being with By Any Means, business has been awesome. Running your own business can be a lot, and to really do it the right way, you need a team. They’ve become the backbone of what I do—providing a ton of resources and helping me run the overall business. It’s a collaborative process. Every move we make is a discussion. I didn’t have to give up anything—it’s still my business, but now I’ve got a team I can run ideas through, get tips, and move in the right direction. Most importantly, it frees me up to do what I do: coach basketball.”
Toronto
“If you’re thinking about taking that first step—take it. I started as a kid who just loved basketball and didn’t expect much to come from it. Fast forward, I’m now a full-on business owner, traveling the world, meeting amazing people, and growing in every way. My personal life is better, I’m healthier, my relationships are stronger, and I’ve become a better communicator and listener. Even if none of this pans out, it’s already a net positive. But you’ve got to be locked in. It starts with investing in yourself.”
San Jose
“Since joining BAM, everything’s been super smooth. It’s helped me take a real step forward in my business. The resources, the connections, and the support have been a dream come true. I’ve mixed my passion for basketball with my passion for helping people grow. Before BAM, it felt a little lonely. Now I’ve got a network, I’ve hosted my first camp with 30 people, and financially I’m doing way better thanks to the systems and membership program. It’s been nothing but great news.”

Your Questions, Answered
The Mental Skills Academy is a daily guide with meditation, a mental development challenge, instructional videos, and more included each day! It's very flexible to be adjusted, although we strongly suggest sticking close to the plan considering you don't need any equipment or resources to get most of it done!
The Mental Skills Academy is meant to be done with no essential resources! It's great to have places to hoop and apply these concepts on-court, but we've even had injured players who have gone through the program without any ability to apply on court, and have seen big jumps.
The routine will vary, but most days, it's no longer than 15-30 minutes maximum!
Each drill can be adjusted based on skill level. All programs have been tested on players of all levels (literally intermediate youth up to NBA players), and have proven to meet players where they're at, especially with the progressions and regressions we provide to make it easier or more difficult!
Yes, the MSA is a one-time payment, lifetime access program!
We understand that sometimes, card purchases are not possible. So we've made this possible! Please send an email to [email protected] to get your solution ASAP.
No refunds are accepted on Virtual Academy programs.
