Become a Better Basketball Coach

Our story.
We are Joerik and Olivier and 10 years ago at age 21 we decided that getting a day job was not for us. We decided to join forces to organize off-season sessions in a local gym in Antwerp, Belgium. We felt there was a gap in how basketball skills were taught to youth players. Joerik coached the basketball part, Olivier programmed the athletic development sessions.
These off-season sessions grew to an off-season day and evening camp that sold out 100% of its spots. This led to in-season camps and within a few years the leap to designing our own gym with a half basketball court and a fully-equipped weights room: The Elite Athletes Training Facility!
The result? An unimaginable wave of experiences: we’ve trained thousands of kids at camps, worked with hundreds of professional athletes, rebuilt the facility as we dreamt of it, traveled the world teaching (even the NBA asked us!) and started our own youth basketball academy.
Right now there are dozens of online places where you can learn more about basketball coaches, you can browse Youtube and find a lot. We have been there too: you know it… endless browsing to learn about your coaching craft and ending up watching fail videos. We decided to make that filter for you so it’s easier to stay on it.
What we realized however after 10 years of hustling and redesigning our training approach, is that we possess something other coaches can use right now: an online basketball learning platform that comes from people who have actually been teaching in multiple settings (club teams, 1-on-1s, professional athletes, camps, international workshops) that supports your personal coaching development.
With this online platform we aim to share with you the tools for which we had to study hard, pay thousands of euros, experiment, fail (often!) and travel far as young coaches. The journey was worth it, paid off – and we want to share our teachings with you and we want to broaden our reach so every coach/player over the whole world can benefit from our learnings.
This means that we will not just share drills to work on your game, but we will actually share a lot beyond skill training because we believe the basketball player of today needs to be immersed in a holistic and supportive learning culture.

Reviews on EA:
“My experience with EA is that individual skill development is the corner stone, it is done in an environment where there is a with a great focus on the values, work ethic and mindset of the players.”
“EA plays the ‘long game’ – focus on long term athlete development through the journey rather than results driven. They have an holistic approach to athlete and staff development and focus on skill development through ‘Games Approach’.”
“It’s like the Netflix I really needed. The platform enhances my coaching skills just by watching!”
