DEVELOP top tier basketball players into top tier leaders on and off the court.

 

“…Whoever you are started years ago and a 6IXTH MAN paradigm shift was how I discovered the ME who was meant to contribute to the world.”

- Norman A. Coulter, Founder

 

Javier Simpkins (in the clip above) was only 10 in this video, but his parents allowed him to start developing character that will guard him from out-of-control living. Submission to Truth, Preparation, Humility and Proper Motive are but a few of the attributes Javier learned as we trained more than his skill set. He dreams of the NBA but no matter what level of basketball he reaches, his character will be ready to combat the destructive forces 10-year olds don’t even know exist.

People say about sports, “It’s just a game.” Fair enough. But millions form their identities around a silly game. They scoff at the the astronomical odds assembled against them and struggle to find their own identity. My life’s work is both athletics and the lessons we learn as a result of our involvement in competition. Below are three reasons your basketball franchise/program will benefit from the 6IXTH MAN WAY.

 

#1 — 1.2% of college basketball players play professionally and 0.3% of high school players do it.

#2 — The average career length of an NBA player still hovers around 6 years.

#3 — The temptation to submit to the pressures of the basketball subculture are often impossible for players to overcome (i.e. financial irresponsibility, social recklessness, gross sense of entitlement, etc.).
