This Sunday, due to Super Bowl LIX, we are changing the Cohort Meet Time from 🕔 5PM CST to 🕙10AM CST. This way, you can get SAVI with us in the morning, make your lil' smokies pig in the blankets, and still have time to sit down and watch the big game 🏈. As always, the Cohort will be recorded 📽️ and shared afterwards, so if you can't make it in the AM, you'll still get full access once it's added to the classroom. Happy Sunday!

Join us tonight for our weekly meeting for paid members. All members can ask ANY questions they would like answered. We will share ideas on how to develop basketball IQ as well. Join us here!

Check out the content for our week 3 meeting and drop your questions below—or bring them to the live call! Remember, this is your time, so feel free to ask about anything, not just practice planning. Looking forward to seeing you Sunday! 🔥 🔗 Link to content
