Our core values

As a long-time successful coach and basketball trainer, I firmly believe in a holistic approach to basketball development, focusing on core values that go beyond the court and into life. Summit BC is built upon the foundation of six core values:

​

1. Faith

Summit is a faith-based basketball program, placing God at the core of our program.

This includes:

  • Nurturing a player's spiritual growth and helping them find their identity in the Lord.

  • Creating a shared sense of purpose with their teammates through their faith.

  • Having team devotionals and other opportunities for players to grow in their walk with the Lord.

------------------------

​

2. Skill Development & Decision Making

Skills and decisions go hand in hand to maximize a player's basketball performance.

This includes:

  • Focusing on a  mastery of the fundamental skills of basketball, including shooting, passing, dribbling, and defense.

  • Understanding of proper footwork, body positioning, and mechanics for each skill.

  • Improving players' decision making by applying skills to the context of real-game scenarios.

------------------------

 

3. Mental Toughness

Basketball is as much a mental game as it is physical.

This includes:

  • Building resilience, concentration, and the ability to perform under pressure.

  • Helping players develop a strong mindset that extends beyond the court.

  • Developing a player's mistake response and helping them consistently perform in peak state.

------------------------

 

4. Consistent Effort

Hard work is the cornerstone of success.

This includes:

  • Instilling the core values of dedication, discipline, and consistent effort.

  • Recognizing that hard work is the foundation of success both on and off the court.

  • Integrating faith as a source of endurance and determination in the pursuit of excellence.

------------------------

 

5. Motivation & Positivity

Proper motivation and a positive mindset can make all the difference in a player's development. 

This includes:

  • Inspiring players to push their limits and work hard to improve.

  • Building a positive, supportive and encouraging environment for both training and competitions.

  • Crafting an intentional culture that's rooted in faith to enhance personal and team growth in order to build lasting friendships through shared experiences on and off the court.

------------------------

 

6. Leadership Development

Summit is committed to developing leaders.

This includes:

  • Recognizing the importance of leadership in sports and life.

  • Providing activities and guidance to develop confident and influential leaders.

  • Integrating faith as a guiding principle for leadership qualities.
