About Us PowerBasketball started as a youth team page going online back in July 1998. A little time has passed and the website has gone through many changes over the past years. I have yet to be satisfied with the entire site and it is a goal to produce the highest possible quality site that can remain "free". The latest trend of charging a monthly fee for premium content is a trend that has been on the horizon for quite some time and it will only get worse. As PowerBasketball continues to improve, some commercialism is bound to happen. You will notice several companies have been offered the opportunity to advertise their products on PowerBasketball. Not just anyone is allowed to advertise. You will notice that all advertising is for products recommended or reviewed. I would think everyone can benefit from reading an impartial review on a $25 book or a $40 video. The idea of changing the website from a team page to a coaching page comes from the lack of coaching information that was available in 1998. I have enjoyed my many capacities as a coach. My experiences in coaching at Martin County High School, South Fork High School, Murray Middle School, and Pinewood Elementary School have provided different levels of challenges in coaching and I have enjoyed every second. I have had the opportunity to work with some great coaches and clinicians including Dave Devenzio and Rich Ford of the National Point Guard Camp at Oglethorpe University, Dena Evans at Webber International University and Converse College for the Point Guard College, as well as the annual Shooting Stars Summer Camp at Lander University in Greenwood, South Carolina with Glenn Wilkes. Local day camps with John Picchiarini of Port St. Lucie High School, Andre McIntyre of Martin County High School, the YMCA of the Treasure Coast, and Martin County Parks and Recreation. My latest venture into travel basketball has proven interesting over the past several years. However, the one consistency in my life has always been to "continue learning". I have spent a lot of time on the Internet over the last several years. I would hate to think of the hundreds of hours, email responses, and contacts that go unnoticed behind the scenes. I hope that everyone that visits this site finds what they are looking for. I have tried to situate PowerBasketball as a definitive resource for basketball coaching links to valuable products, videos, books, newsletters, etc. PowerBasketball has had many top coaches submit articles. The coaching page continues to grow daily. I would like to personally thank all the coaches that have submitted articles. Also, I appreciate all the manufacturers and publishers that have allowed us to test and review their products. It is nice to see that coaching youth basketball has been taken to the "next" level. I would hope that from time to time that coaches are looking to expand their knowledge of the game. Usually this means spending a little bit of money. How much? As much or as little as the coach feels acceptable. You can "click" on a link and visit a site if you desire. Check out our Coaching page or drill page if you are looking for coaching articles, plays, or drills. Enjoy,Coach Power , owner and founder |
