Day 4 of NIKE/Elite Hoops Coed Elite Basketball Camp at GAC

Posted by Anonymous | Thursday, July 28, 2011 | Category: , , , | 0 comments

On day 4 of the Nike/Elite Hoops Coed Elite Basketball Camp at GAC players continued to work hard in their stations as well as their Living By Numbers. Coaches emphasized that they must keep on working hard on these drills in order to succeed outside of camp. All of the ballhandling, perimeter moves, defense, and shooting techniques at camp are designed to help our players work on form, as well as mock game-like conditions and situations. Our goal is to allow players to interpret and execute proper technique, while having to also focus on all of the other aspects of the game simultaneously. These aspects range from defenders, to speed, to time, and to the pressure that comes while playing in an actual game. We want to make the pressure in practices and trainings are as difficult as possible so that games can be a breeze.
If the players are truly devoting all of their effort to getting one percent better each day, like they promised to at the beginning of camp, then they will definitely see the improvement.
Campers have done a great job this week and the coaches cannot wait to see what will come next during "Championship Friday!" Everybody has high hopes of a positive outcome.

NIKE/Elite Hoops Basketball Camp at GAC Day One

Posted by Anonymous | Monday, June 6, 2011 | Category: , , | 0 comments

At our first annual NIKE/Elite Hoops Boys Basketball camp at Greater Atlanta Christian Academy, coaches emphasized the importance of "not mistaking activity for achievement." Campers were told that not only because they were at a camp, in a station, or even playing 3 on 3, they were not going to achieve anything or get any better if they were not giving 100%. This applies to all aspects of the game including ballhandling, rebounding, shooting, and defense. A player must go full speed to get better, and to eventually perform better in games. Our goal is to help the players to develop this type of work ethic outside of camp by working on it constantly during camp.

If players continue to work as hard the rest of the week as they did in their stations, 5 on 5, Living by Numbers, and 3 on 3, as they did on the first day, then they should see an unbelievable change by Friday afternoon! The coaches are excited to see what's in store for the rest of the week!

Malcolm Brogdon Chooses Virginia

Posted by Lee Miller | Thursday, August 26, 2010 | Category: , , , | 0 comments

Elite Hoops trainee and Greater Atlanta Christian senior, Malcolm Brogdon verbally committed to the Virginia Cavaliers on Monday.  When Brogdon first started training with Elite Hoops, he was being recruited by mid majors. In one short year, Brogdon went from being a mid major, 2 star player into an ACC bound player and candidate for Mr. Georgia Basketball for one reason.  Work ethic.

100 Kids and 1 Goal

Posted by Lee Miller | Tuesday, June 8, 2010 | Category: , , | 0 comments

The NIKE Elite Hoops Boys Basketball Camp at Greater Atlanta Christian in Norcross, Georgia began yesterday with 100 kids having one goal. Camp Director, Lee Miller, told all of the campers that their one goal for the week is to get "1% better each day." While 1% might not seem like a a big change, as John Wooden stated, "little things make big things happen."


For the second consecutive year, our NIKE Camp at GAC is soldout with 100 kids. We have a tremendous staff of 14 consisting of high school and collegiate coaches as well as collegiate players. Everyday players will work for 2 hours of fundamental skill development, play one 5on5 game, compete in our Living by Numbers contests and also play participate in our 3on3 CutThroat games.
