Blue Collar Basketball was founded in August of 2011 on the principles of teaching the fundamentals and advanced skill sets to help players take their game to another level. In addition, BCB uses basketball to teach character and habits that will help players to become successful in areas of life off the court. We feel that if all a player gets out of one of our sessions is a good workout, we have failed him or her. A coach’s ability to impact and influence young people is amazing and we take that responsibility seriously.
BCB owner and founder Sam Allen felt a pull towards player development after serving eight years as a college basketball coach. Sam often shares his “30-30 guy” story with athletes that he works with as it is a layer in the foundation of Blue Collar Basketball. Sam had the experience of being the best player and worst player on his teams at multiple levels during his playing experience. He learned that through disciplined and consistent hard work, many goals, dreams and aspirations can be achieved. This is the message that BCB passes on to the athletes that enter our programs.
Why is BCB right for you? If you have serious aspirations, dreams and goals for yourself in basketball, BCB is the right program for you. If you want to learn both the physical skill sets and special intangible mental qualities that good coaches look for, BCB can help equip you. If you like being held to a high standard, are searching for accountability, and are pursuing excellence, BCB would love to work with you.
Some of the top players, leaders, teams, companies and organizations have a tremendous desire for growth. One of the best ways to achieve maximum performance is to surround yourself with people that push you, grow you, and help hold you accountable to what you want to accomplish. A recent study shows that 70% of Fortune 500 company CEOs have a personal coach. At BCB we offer a personal coaching system that will help you develop as a player and a person. BCB’s culture helps foster an environment of breakthroughs, accountability, and a constant search for excellence. But just remember, no matter how bad we want it for you, or your mom or dad, school coach, what matters most is this: How important is it to you and what are you willing to sacrifice to achieve your dreams and goals?
