Private Basketball Lessons for Beginners in Colbert County, AL

We encourage young athletes, or beginners, to sign up for private basketball lessons in Colbert County, AL. We know the main reasons why some parents don’t think it’s a good idea: their child is too young, they want them to play multiple sports, and sports shouldn’t be so competitive. To start, because part of private basketball coaching involves mentorship, we don’t believe any athlete is too young. As long as the athlete wants to be there and work hard, private coaching can provide them with a solid athletic foundation that they will use for the rest of their athletic journey. When it comes to playing multiple sports, Athletes Untapped encourages young athletes to play as many sports as they want. If they love one particular sport the most and want to improve their skills, then private coaching is a great option.

What Skills Can a Personal Basketball Coach in Colbert County, AL Improve?

What Skills Can a Personal Basketball Coach in Colbert County, AL Improve?

There are two types of skills private basketball coaches in Colbert County, AL can help young players improve: hard skills & soft skills. Hard skills are the aspects of a player’s game like footwork, form shooting, 3-point shooting, dribbling, rebounding, defense, etc. Any private basketball coach who’s worth training with should have knowledge of most hard skills, and expertise in at least one area. On the other hand, private basketball coaches should also focus on the soft skills – mental toughness, grit, live game situations, and how to handle yourself in the face of adversity. All young athletes will be challenged at some point in their life. Whether it happens early or late, it’s inevitable. Training with a personal basketball coach who knows how to prepare an athlete for any situation they might face in a game goes a long way for the player’s development. It’s good to focus on the hard skills, but our coaches at Athletes Untapped do a great job at building an all-around player who’s mentally, physically, and technically sound.

Wondering what to expect when you show up to a private basketball workout in Colbert County, AL? Athletes Untapped knows the answer because we are the private coaching pros. While your specific workout plan will vary depending on your personal basketball trainer, most trainers mix shooting, handles, off-ball moves, footwork, agility, and sometimes strength training (if you’re not too tired by the end of the workout). At first, some of the drills might seem impossibly hard or the movements might feel awkward – and that’s great! Private basketball workouts aren’t supposed to be easy. If Steph Curry and Kyrie Irving did simple workout routines, do you think they’d be where they are today? Nope!
