Cracking the Code

Have you ever wondered how the most elite ballhandlers look so fluid?

Almost effortless at times. How they always seem to make the right decisions, no matter how tough the situation. Me too. If we rewind four or five years, I was so curious you wouldn't believe it. What made these best ballhandlers so talented? I had to figure this out. So, I spent countless hours in the last half-decade of my life doing just that. And I think I've started to crack the code.

Having the best handles isn't just about having the ball on a string. There's some of that, of course, but there's way more than that. It's how well we move. It's how well we read the defense and make decisions. This is what's going to transfer to the game from our training.

If you're tired of not seeing your work apply to a competitive, game environment, this is the spot for you. The Ultimate Ballhandling Program is revolutionizing the way we train our handles. Completely.

What You Get

A learning experience, not just a program

01

50 Skill Workouts

Over 4 hours worth of innovative, unique drills make up this portion. You're guided every step of the way, but also have room for creativity to ensure you get the best results possible.

02

Exclusive Videos

At the end of each week, there will be check-ins with mindset videos, recovery tips, and more. We don't just want this to be a program, but a learning experience.

03

Recovery, Mobility & Meditation

At the end of each week, we recharge with a mobility and meditation day, with a focus on recovery for the next week of work. Plus, nutritional info to help understand optimizing your body composition.

04

Movement Training

As a part of the skill workouts, especially in the warmup portions, you'll be working in unique ways to train your fluidity and movement, which will help not only with your ballhandling but in every area of the game.

Focuses of the Program

Movement. Creativity. Feel.

01

Movement

Ballhandling is movement with the basketball. If we can't move fluidly, powerfully, and efficiently, our ceiling is low. Our goal here is to use performance training methods (agility, lateral power, reactive core strength, and more) to boost our abilities as a mover, and then apply these qualities to our skill.

02

Creativity

This is missing in far too many players and coaches. Basketball is an art. To be the most fluid and overall best ballhandler, we have to play into this over the course of our development. Plus, we have more fun in training when we don't box ourselves in.

03

Feel

We have all played with those hoopers who seem to always make the right decisions. Who read the defense like a book. Basketball is played with 9 other players on the court, so we have to train this way. We have included live play and reactive drills throughout the program, with alternatives or pre-recorded audio cues if you don't have a partner.

After the 12 weeks

You'll understand and apply the techniques that the best ballhandlers use to be so successful. Not only do we study these in the additional videos, but apply them on a day-to-day basis.

03

You play better in-game

This program is aimed towards real-game transfer, not just getting better at the drills themselves. These physical and mental skills will transfer into your real games.

Your questions, answered

The program is 10 weeks, organized into daily workouts. Each day has its own workout (example: Week 3, Day 4: Acceleration Technique), with 5 days a week devoted to skill workouts, one to mobility, meditation, and recovery, and one off day.

Preferably, a basket, ball, and partner. However, there are alternatives to every single drill that you can do with just a ball and a bit of space. No worries if you don't have gym access — I made sure that every athlete is able to perform the program regardless of their space constraints.

Each drill can be adjusted based on skill level. The program was designed for higher level ball handlers, but with the proper regressions, I have gone through the program with beginners who have been able to see huge benefits and the perfect amount of challenge.

Depending on the day, if you have a partner, and how fast you move through the drills, the workouts can last between 30 minutes and a bit over an hour. The great thing is that you're pretty in control of this, and I encourage adding or cutting out reps to perfectly customize the length of the workout.

100%. Every athlete on the Virtual Academy is encouraged to customize the workouts to their circumstances, so some workouts can be done in even 15 minutes by cutting out drills that aren't relevant in-season, demand too much physically, or even simply take too long.

No refunds are accepted on Virtual Academy programs.
