Have you ever wondered when college coaches can and cannot talk to you or see you in person or over the  ☎️📲  ?  

What are the specific things college coaches are looking for to offer you a basketball scholarship?  What will separate you from all the other players?  

What are things that will make college coaches not offer you a scholarship and give the offer to someone else?

This video breaks down all of those things!

Too often players train for hours and hours but yet never show improvement during a game.  I see this all the time.  I see how players are training through social media, in person or during practices.  I see the workouts they do and the skills they are focusing on.  I then see them in their high school, college, or pro game, and quite often not one time do they perform the skills that they were working on during their "training". 

So is the player just that bad?  Or are the training sessions just a waste of time?

Take a listen as I walk you through the exact steps to take during a practice and/or training session so that you get the actual improvement that translates directly to a game. 

Stop wasting your time and stop wasting your player's time.

Brandy Huffhines had a decorated High School academic and athletic career.  During her basketball playing tenure at Rio Linda High School in California, she was a 3-time TCC Champion, 3-time all-conference player, and the TCC conference MVP her senior year in 2017.  Her team was the Division 3 San Joaquin Section champion in 2016. She was nominated as a Max Preps all-state player in 2017, Character Combine female athlete of the year in 2017, and Sac Bee all-metro in 2016 and 2017.  She is Rio Linda High School's all-time leading scorer and all-time assist record holder.  She was Rio Linda's high school Valedictorian graduating with a 4.3 GPA.

She started her collegiate playing career at Sacramento City College and her accolades kept coming.  She earned Big 8 all-conference honors and was selected to the CCCAA all-state team.  In her sophomore season at Sac City she led her team to one of the best seasons in school history with one win away from attending the Elite 8 tournament.  She finished her career with the infamous stat trio of shooting 50% from the field, 40% from the 3pt line, and 80% from the FT line.   She was selected as Sacramento City College's Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 2019 and the CCCAA Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 2019.  She graduated from Sacramento City College after 2 years with a 4.0 GPA and signed a full Division I basketball scholarship to Cal State University of Northridge where she will continue her playing career.

She spends some time with us and giving us her insight on what it actually takes to push through barriers, go against the grain when many people in her life were telling her she wouldn't make it. But most importantly she shares how a student-athlete can keep things in perspective, be a leader both on and off the court and how she learned her incredible work ethic which drove her to her success.
