Columbus Skills Select a Success!
Posted by Angie Diamond at 1:41 pm
We had a wonderful workout last weekend at Ohio Dominican. We had 50 girls from 12 different states and Canada. It was an amazing experience. The major scouting services Premier-Joey Simmons, All-Star Girls Report – Brett McCormick, ESPN Hoopgurlz – Mark Lewis, Roundball, Inc – Kelvin Powell, jumpoffplus.com-“Doc” Webb, and I represented the Nike Skills Academy. You can see the reports if you click on the links below:
All-Star girls report and Premier will send out a report to over 1500 colleges.
I want to thank all my staff:
Rob Burke – Ganon Baker Basketball Pro Staff Trainer
MJ – Ganon Baker Basketball Pro Staff Trainer
Art Wasson – Cincinnati AAU
Jim Blevins – Columbus AAU
Bobby Paul – Ohio State University
Pat Traynor – Ganon Baker Basketball Project Manager

We worked the girls out tremendously hard in the morning, motivated them at lunch with NBA/WNBA and life success stories, and in the afternoon they got better in controlled scrimmages. Below are the invites for our next Skills Select in Texas, DC, and Atlanta/Greenville.

Testimonies:
I cannot begin to tell you how appreciative I am for the work in your camp. I had a difficult time explaining to my family and friends how different an experience it was from other camps I attended. The two days in Columbus hit home with me. I was hoping you would give me personal feedback on what I need to do to become a better player. I saw an opportunity for me to learn from a voice different from my school and AAU coaches. I learned two things. 1, that I have work to do to reach my goal of playing in college and 2, I need to put in the daily effort that was given at your camp. The energy and instruction is what I took from the camp and I hope I get more opportunities to work with you. I would like to go to more camps taught by you and I would appreciate the chance.” -Player B.M.
I forwarded this email to my daughter so she can give you her input on the training. As a parent, I thought it was excellent. Very organized, structured and engaging. I had questioned myself about traveling from Mass to Ohio and whether it was a worthwhile thing. It turned out to be more than worthwhile and we enjoyed every minute of it. If possible, could you email some of those tips to me so I can reinforce them to my daughter and her teammates? I will also be ordering some of the work-out dvds. Again, thank you and if you ever want to come to the Birthplace of Basketball, we will be more than happy to have you!!” -Parent A.W.
Thank you so much for all you do. I loved the exposure camp for my daughter, and am very thankful that she had the opportunity to meet others with similar interests – she had a great time! I really appreciate your approach as well, and thought you did a great job of setting the tone and expectations for sportsmanship, a high level of play, and bringing out the best. I was impressed with the chemistry among the girls – not even knowing each other, they very quickly came together and played at a high level. I met several parents and we’re looking forward to seeing each other again at summer tournaments.” -Parent K.C.
