Camp went great this past week in Wausau, WI. Over 100 players came to drill for skill and left prepared to work on their game. It’s always exciting to run our annual camp in Wausau because the kids listen well, are appreciative and eager to learn. Several players in the younger session have potential to be great players someday, but we’ll see where they are in a year. Someone out there is always working harder than you!
Reps and Character…
I’d like to point out a senior who attended our high school boys skills academy, Brandon Gries, from Kiel, WI. Here is a player who epitomizes what coaches look for in a player. First of all, the kid has character. He was constantly encouraging some of the younger players at camp when they made a mistake or told them “good move” in our situational 1 on 1 games. He also understands the importance of getting in game speed reps and the fact that no matter how good you are, you can always get quicker with the ball and fine tune your footwork.
If you are a college coach looking for a solid combo guard with good strength and athleticism you’ll want to give Brandon a look!
