At Athletes Untapped, our coaches are focused on setting realistic expectations and goals for the athletes they train. If your son or daughter was cut from the middle school team this year, they can build a plan to put them in a much better position for tryouts next year. If your child didn’t play as much as they thought they should’ve this past season, whether it’s for AAU or school basketball, your private coach will ask why and address the weaknesses in their game to make sure they see the court more next year. If they truly want to earn an NCAA college basketball scholarship and they’re in a position to take advantage of the opportunity, your private coach can talk to them about the recruiting process, what it's like to be a college athlete, and how to handle competing at a high level. At Athletes Untapped, we’re not trying to spread false hope or make promises that your son or daughter will become a professional player. Our private basketball coaches are upfront, considerate, and willing to work with your child’s specific goals and needs to help them become the best player, and person, they can possibly be!

Faulkner County, AR Private Basketball Coaching

Faulkner County, AR private basketball coaching opportunities are available to all athletes – boys, girls, elementary school, middle school, and high school players. For parents and athletes who don’t know, private basketball coaching is separate from team sports. It’s when a young athlete trains one on one, or in a group setting, with a personal basketball trainer. The trainer typically has years of playing and/or coaching experience and depending on their skillset, they can teach proper shooting, dribbling, footwork, mechanics, and speed & agility among other skills. No matter the young athlete’s age, training with a private basketball coach can have a profound impact both on and off the court. The on-court skills are the obvious benefits, but at Athletes Untapped we know there’s more to it. Receiving lessons from a personal basketball trainer teaches discipline, responsibility, hard work, and shows young athletes that their dreams are achievable. How is that possible? Because the coach they’re training with has likely been there – whether it’s playing college, pro, overseas, or another form of high-level basketball. Young athletes can train with the person they want to be when they grow up and opening their minds to that possibility will go a long way in their development. The Athletes Untapped team knows this well because we are all former college and pro athletes with real private coaching experience. That’s why we’re proud to help parents & athletes connect with local, vetted private sports coaches in Faulkner County, AR!

What Skills Can a Personal Basketball Coach in Faulkner County, AR Improve?

What Skills Can a Personal Basketball Coach in Faulkner County, AR Improve?

There are two types of skills private basketball coaches in Faulkner County, AR 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.
