To provide fundamental skill development and instruction for young student-athletes who have a desire to compete at a high level of basketball conducted by the Amateur Athletic Union ("AAU"). Our program is committed to providing an opportunity to expand their knowledge while teaching sportsmanship, teamwork, hard work and a drive for excellence.
The Shock Exchange is a competitive program whose ultimate goal is to win, but not at all cost. Our overarching drive is to develop student-athletes and share with them our love for the game. The program is only four - five months long for the following reasons:
- We believe that a shorter, intense program will be a better experience than a year long program; and,
- We do not want to encroach on other sports that players may be interested in. In fact, we encourage our student athletes to explore other sports because it makes for a better, well-rounded childhood. In addition, and we believe that the philosophies taught by and the muscle development derived from other sports help to complement, not hinder, one’s athletic prowess in basketball and overall "sports IQ."
To challenge young student-athletes to "dream big dreams" on the basketball court as well as in the business world. The Shock Exchange is a big proponent of visualization – before you can achieve anything you must first visualize it.
