Beginning in 2026, our program will offer monthly or bi-monthly seminars that deal with personal development for our members. Our debut Next Level Person seminar will be held on January 17th, 2026 and is called “Nutrition for the Modern Athlete: An Introduction.”

While our player development program’s system and our methodological approach to training are at the forefront of what we do, the third pillar of our identity is our personal development. This is where the Next Level Person is developed.

In general, it’s a common belief that basketball and team sports develop life skills and character. For example, most people would agree that communication and leadership skills come with the game. Players have to build relationships with teammates and speak in practices and games. Additionally, people learn teamwork and how to put team success above individual success. Another notable area that basketball develops in people is mental toughness. Pushing through ups and downs, staying committed to a goal and keeping your word develops through team sports.

That’s only a short list of some of the benefits of playing team sports and Next Level Basketball is no exception. With that being said, like everything else, our goal is to take personal development to another level. Life lessons through the game are great, but we wish to offer deliberate educational experiences related to personal development to our players.

This is where our Next Level Person initiative comes in. General lifestyle behaviors will be covered, as well as psychological topics such as self-regulation and conscientiousness, and much more!

We look forward to continuing to contribute to enriching the lives of our players!
