The Small Guard Essentials Program

Get Started!
Undersized guards are oftentimes the first ones counted out. It's not easy being of a shorter stature in a historically tall sport that continues to favor height and frame.

But this underdog status lights a fire in thousands of hoopers worldwide who may be counted out because of their height, and builds heart that is unmatched, leading them to places they'd never expect.

As a smaller guard, though, your training has to be top-notch. There's no room for wasted days, inefficient workouts, and guesswork. Everything must be calculated, smart, creative, and cover the vast range of boxes that must be checked for an undersized guard to be effective at a high level. The Small Guard Essentials Program does just that.

I've been able to work with and be around some of the best undersized guards in the world, and there's one common factor between all of them: they're like a Swiss army knife. They can do almost anything on the court, skill-wise. To make up for they're lack of height, they've been able to develop such a feel and well-rounded game that there is no doubt in anyone's mind who the most skilled player on the court is. And that's exactly what we pursue in this 3-month program.

You'll walk out of the gym on your last day of the program feeling exponentially more confident. Ready for anything. Having developed an extremely wide set of skills that transfer perfectly to a game. So, I'm ready to take you to the next level. Now it's just on you!

Price: $99.99, all-included!

What Our Hoopers Are Saying about the program:

“Programs are fire, really helped me improve and become more shifty!”
​

"I was initially hesitant at buying the program but it's been a great investment into my game. I feel shiftier and way more fluid, I feel faster and more agile"
“Honestly I’ve tried so many different online programs but only yours gave me real in-game results. I feel so much more confident with the basketball and handling it under pressure. I’m also able to blow by defenders by being more creative and deceptive with my handles. Your program was a real game changer.”

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the program organized? The program is 12 weeks, 5 days per week. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are focused on specific skills, whereas Tuesday and Thursday are all-around workouts focusing on a variety of skills.. Keep in mind that these don't have to go perfectly in accordance with the days of the week, and can be scrambled, adjusted, and mixed up however fits your schedule!

What resources do I need? In an ideal world, a half court, a basketball, and one day a week, a partner. 4 of the 5 weekly workouts are designed to do individually, and just one is to be done with a partner (for skills that are quite difficult to work on without defense, like finishing with contact). But, even if you don't have a partner, don't stress for that one day. We always have an alternative for you!

What skill level is it designed for? Each drill can be adjusted based on skill level. Each drill has progressions and regressions, and we empower you to make the workouts more or less difficult based on your current level. Beginners and professionals alike have tested the program and both have seen results!


Can I combine the program with another? Yes, without a doubt. It's actually meant to be this way! This is a completely skill-focused programs, which means it can be paired with any of our performance programs like the Lockdown Defender Program

Can I do the program during my season? It all depends on the athlete, but the answer is 99% time a resounding yes,  as long as you listen to your body. Cut out some reps. Shorten some workouts. If done right, this could be the best possible way to keep your skills sharp during the season.

Are there refunds? No refunds are accepted on Virtual Academy programs.
