Jayda began training with Hested Hoops in 2019. Seven years later, she has received her first Division I offer from the University of Minnesota as an eighth grader. 〽️ Seven years. Thousands of intentional reps. Built over time. This is only the beginning. 🏀

A drill is only as good as what shows up in the game. If your player looks great in workouts and disappears in games, the reps aren't the problem. The transfer is. Train the skill with decisions attached. Not just the movement.

For two years, Leah traveled more than three hours to spend two hours training with us each month. That is dedication. That is commitment. Now she begins her freshman year at Gustavus Adolphus College. You’re going to do big things, Leah! 🏀 #BuiltOverTime #HestedHoops

For 4 years, twins Amelia & Quinn have trained their homework at home and sent me videos for feedback. That work between sessions is a big reason they’ll have a chance to play varsity as 7th graders. Proud of you both. 🏀 #BuiltOverTime #HestedHoops

🏀 WHY USE AN OVERSIZED SHOOTING BALL? The oversized ball creates a tougher challenge that helps players improve: ✅ Shooting-hand and guide-hand separation ✅ Hand placement ✅ Ball rotation ✅ Precision and touch But we don’t stay with the oversized ball the game is played with a regulation basketball. After shooting with the oversized ball, we immediately switch back to a regular ball. The regular ball suddenly feels lighter, smaller and easier to control almost like she’s shooting nothing. Now she can feel the difference and carry those adjustments into her regular shot. 🏀

The workout doesn’t end when players leave the gym. Players complete 2–3 workouts during the following week, send us video and receive specific feedback. One workout introduces the skill. Ownership is built through what the player does afterward. 🏀

Now in fourth grade, Leighton has already been putting in the work for two years! 🏀 Her favorite player is Caitlin Clark—and she’s working toward becoming the next one. Keep working and dreaming big, Leighton! #BuiltOverTime #hestedhoops

Over one year of work with Bexley 🏀 She has continued to show up, accept coaching, and make progress one step at a time. We’re only getting started. Real development isn’t built overnight. It’s built over time. @USCGirlsHoops #BuiltOverTime #HestedHoops

🔥 Great two days at our USC Hested Hoops Camp! 🏀 We had 73 players in the gym across our 3rd–6th and 7th–12th grade groups. The players brought great energy, competed, and were willing to learn. Huge thank you to the coaches of @USCGirlsHoops for bringing us in and being so invested throughout the camp. Grateful for the basketball conversations, support, and trust from the USC coaches. Learn. Train. Test. Reflect. Refine.™ #HestedHoops #BasketballCamp #PlayerDevelopment

Players don’t struggle because they need more drills. They struggle because nobody teaches them how to move from learning a skill to trusting it in games. The Hested Hoops Skill Transfer System™: Learn Train Test Reflect Refine Learning a skill is not the same as owning it.
