This 40 min course was created to help provide athletes, coaches, and parents at the scholastic levels with general and in-depth insight on athletic talent evaluation. We break down the general process that successful programs at the collegiate and professional sports level use to evaluate prospects and find ideal athletes for their programs and teams. A lot of coaches at the scholastic level deal with athletes and parents that do not fully understand the major and critical factors that coaches and scouts at higher levels use and rely on to find athletes that check the ideal boxes that allow them to be successful and win championships plus develop a great team culture. 

Too often athletes and their parents at the scholastic levels think that playing a lot of minutes or producing great stats will get them recruited/selected when that is not necessarily true or not as important to coaches and scouts at the college and pro levels. This course provides insight into the concepts of successful funnel systems that are used to filter athletes at these higher levels of competition. This insight will help provide you with information to help you do your own due diligence in finding programs that are an ideal fit for you, your players, or your son/daughter.

There is a lot of misinformation and bad actors (recruiting and scouting services) when it comes to collegiate recruiting help. And the growing number of athletes in the collegiate transfer portal is a prime example of this.

This course provides some basics on scouting opponents that covers some proven methods that will help both new and well experienced coaches at any level.

In Basketball Scouting Techniques, author Eric Stang pulls from more than twenty years of coaching and scouting experience to offer a comprehensive look at the different approaches to team and player assessment—from youth ball to professional leagues. Detailed chapters like “Opponent Scouting,” “Gathering Intel” and “Modern Basketball Positions” offer basic and in-depth breakdown on not only how to gather valuable information on a team or player, but how to apply it. Coaches and general managers can then use this data to formulate game plans, prepare staff and players for the opposition, and help build or improve their teams. For the last several decades, scouting has played a vital role in basketball. The right information can effectively determine a team’s success or failure both on the court and off it. Basketball Scouting Techniques helps eliminate the guesswork from this process and provides a comprehensive breakdown of proven assessment methods for both teams and players. This book gives readers the information they can use to help improve their coaching and scouting knowledge.
