#theassistantscoachesclinic

For many coaches, it’s about more than wins and losses. It’s about giving back, sharing lessons learned and helping the next generation become better players and people.

We asked @ciararosten at #TheASSISTANTS to share her why.

Because behind every coach is a story. And behind every story is a reason they continue to pour into the next generation.

Different journeys. Different reasons. One common purpose: to make a difference.

What’s YOUR why?

#theassistantscoachingclinic

When we started #TheASSISTANTS, the goal was never simply to put coaches in a gym for a few hours.

We wanted to create a space where coaches could learn from one another, share experiences, build relationships and leave with something they could take back to their players and programs.

Looking through these photos, that’s what we see.

The presentations were important.

But so were the conversations between them.

The questions.

The introductions.

The laughs.

The disagreements.

The connections.

Because coaching can be an isolated profession. We believe coaches need community, too.

So swipe through and look beyond the photographs.

This is the story of what we’re trying to build.

No egos. No hierarchy. Just coaches learning from coaches.

7th Annual Clinic is in the books.

And we’re already thinking about 2027. 🏀

#bigandtall GBB Development Clinic

Three athletes. One full-court drill. Multiple skills being developed.

Our sprint, seal and two-foot finish drill works on running the floor, establishing position, creating separation, catching, footwork, balance and finishing through contact.

But we don’t teach a move just to complete a drill.

We teach the why, when and how behind it.

That’s what makes our approach different.

We’re not chasing complicated drills. We’re building basketball players.

Our next Big & Tall Development Clinic session is coming up, and we’d love to get more bigs and tall players in the gym.

If you’re a high school girls basketball player with size and serious about developing your game, this is for you.

Check the bio for details or DM us.

#necessarytalk

The conversations.
The questions.
The demonstrations.
The stories.
The willingness to share.

That’s what made the 7th Annual #TheASSISTANTS’ Coaching Clinic special.

A huge thank you to every clinician who gave their time and shared their knowledge, every coach who walked through the doors ready to learn, and every player, volunteer, school, family member and supporter who helped make today possible.

We know we won’t be able to tag everyone who contributed, but please know this:

Your contribution mattered.

#theassistants was created from a simple belief that coaches need opportunities to learn from other coaches. No egos. No hierarchy. Just coaches learning, sharing and adding something to their bag.

Today reminded us why we continue to do this.

And if you were in the room today, you already know…

We’re not finished.

2026 is in the books.

We’ll see you in 2027.

#bigandtall clinic

Before the basketball work begins, the body needs to be ready.

@gracemartinezcscs led our Big & Tall athletes through a 10–15-minute dynamic warm-up designed to prepare them for the demands of the 90 minute workout.

For big and tall players, mobility, balance, coordination and movement preparation are especially important. The ability to move efficiently, change direction, accelerate and decelerate matters just as much as size.

Being big is one thing. Knowing how to move your body is another.

Real player development starts before the first drill.
