Basically,
basketball coaches and players will have to sift through a myriad of
websites to find answers for their particular sets of questions. The
problem with many of the sites that I have investigated is that they
mostly market the same basketball videos and DVDs. While they may
have some good content to their sites, there is also a lot of
redundancy making a lot for searchers to wade through.
When I entered the basketball coaching market, I wanted a niche that
wasn’t being addressed in the same way, over and over. The segment
that needs the most help is the new and lesser experienced youth
basketball coaches and players. Because I teach differently than
other coaches, my focus niche is to bring to novice coaches and
players my own original material. These are things that I have
successfully taught all over the world (I conveniently left out the
unsuccessful stuff).
I learned early on in my coaching career to pay attention to details
in teaching my players strong basketball fundamentals and to play
good and tenacious defense. This was to become my hallmark
throughout my coaching career.
This attention to teaching the details of basic basketball play for
the individual player, while weaving this into team play, and my
heavy emphasis on teaching defense, is what I bring to the
marketplace. All of this is brought together in my philosophy of
teaching Basketball On A Triangle—the sides of the triangle being
defense and fundamentals, with the base being discipline.
First, I wrote a book, "Coaching Youth Basketball--Basketball On A
Triangle: A Higher Level of Coaching and Playing", which included
everything I teach about the individual game. It’s now broken down
into about 14 different e-Books, complete with all the detailed
information I use in my teaching, along with hundreds of pictures
and diagrams to clarify my teaching points.
Next, I took the book, and faithfully following every chapter and
detail, created a basketball coaching DVD, which was filmed during a
3-day coaching workshop I conducted in Sarasota, FL. Over the course
of three days, I taught six high school girls and boys every
individual aspect of the game. Each skill began as if the players
were new to the game and finished with advanced position specific
skills. We filmed it all with a floor camera and an aerial camera.
Then we went into the studio where we spent several hundred hours
editing all that camera footage, created voice-overs using the exact
text from the book, put in graphics and created a 2-disc, 4-hour
teaching DVD that has been called, “one of the most highly detailed
basketball teaching products on the market… and the tool every youth
basketball coach needs to have.”
I followed up the e-Books and DVD with my One-on-One Online
Basketball Mentoring program for coaches and players, to help them
understand the things I am teaching and to be able to use them
correctly so they can move to a higher level of basketball skill.
If a person is just getting started as a youth basketball coach
whether coaching girls or boys, where do they turn to get the
information they'll need? If a coach has been working for a while in
youth basketball, and wants to move forward, to take his or her
teaching abilities to a higher level, what do they do and where do
they go?
It is too bad that so often the best and most knowledgeable teachers
are at the higher levels of basketball play, while all too often the
youth are being guided (often misguided) by well-meaning coaches who
don’t have much of a handle on teaching the game.
Most volunteer youth basketball coaches don’t have the time or
opportunity to travel to the many coaching clinics, workshops,
college seminars or training camps that are held all around the
United States. And, if a coach lives in another country where there
isn’t much opportunity for coach training—what will they do there
for the information they need? I spent years traveling to spread
coaching knowledge in other countries. Now, I can virtually teach
anyone who has a computer with my body of coaching know-how through
my website. Already, I have reached coaches in New Zealand,
Australia, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Russia, the UK and
places in Africa.
Most of those moms and dads, who perhaps got drafted to teach their
kids’ teams, don't have the access to receive coaching education. A
coaches mentor may be their solution.
Coach Ronn Wyckoff has spent more than fifty years in basketball. As
an international consultant, his programs have reached hundreds of
players and coaches around the world. He has coached four national
teams and conducted national player camps. In forty-plus years of
coaching boys, girls, men and women, from the playgrounds to
national teams, they won over 70% of their games. The international
club teams he coached won over 80%.
His 4-hour teaching DVD, "Basketball On A Triangle: A Higher Level
of Coaching and Playing", has received high praise. His soon to be
released book of the same title has received accolades from those
who have reviewed it, as being unique in it's detailed approach to
teaching life lessons through the teaching of the game, as well as
teaching coaches how to teach fundamentals.For more info go to
