This is the first of what I hope is a long string of Champions Club members to come from my private basketball coaching. Andrew Baumert's mother contacted me over the Summer about setting up private basketball lessons, but they never came to fruition. However I reached back out to her in October and luckily their schedule finally cleared up. So we did a few good one-on-one sessions but Andrew didn't make his 7th grade school team. Fortunately, both him and his mom aren't pouting and whining, but rather taking the opportunity to work harder.
Andrew signed up for Fundamentals last week and even brought his brother, Charlie, in with him. Charlie is a freshman at Romeo High School and plays lacrosse. They are both two days into Fundamentals.
So far, it would appear that their general movement strength is the glaring weak spot, while their coordination is not - as is apparent with their technique on push-ups, hollow rocks, and kb swing timing, and with how well jump ropes improved during their workout on Day 2. They also seem like fun kids to coach, and with really supportive parents (not the I'll Do Everything For You parents but the You'll Be Fine Kiddo parents) I think we could have a good combo to add to our group assuming they can make the drive work. But for now, I'll check back in after Day 7.
