    PGC BASKETBALL DIRECTOR

    Sam Allen is a first class teacher of the game. It is his blue collar work ethic that sets him apart and makes him special. I bring him in to work with my college team because of the knowledge, passion and energy that he brings to the gym for every session. He knows what it takes for players to get to the next level both physically and mentally. Whether I am serious basketball player looking to improve or a coach looking to advance my team, I can’t think of anyone better then Coach Allen to get you there.

    Coach TJ Rosene, Emmanuel College, 2009 NCCAA National Champion and National Coach of the Year

    An All-Conference player at Reinhardt University with over 1,500 points, 500 rebounds, 400 assists, and a record 125 consecutive games started, Sam Allen led his school to their first ever National Tournament appearance. Sam has 8 years college coaching experience and runs Blue Collar Basketball, a player development training organization. Through directing PGC sessions, and mentoring coaches at PGC Coaching, and co-hosting the Hardwood Hustle podcast, Sam continues to transform the way the game is taught and played.

    I would not be where I am today if it wasn’t for the impact that PGC had on my game and on my attitude.

    "PGC was one of the best basketball camps I have attended. It pushed me mentally, physically, and emotionally and showed me things about myself that I didn’t even know. It has helped take my SCHAPE to a whole new level and I am so thankful for this process."
    - Cyndal Holland

    "I have learned more about coaching and teaching this week than I have my entire life. Point Guard College was always a dream for me. A 'Basketball Disney World' that sounded amazing, but due to the price I never got the opportunity to attend as a player. If I could go back and re-do ONE thing as a high school athlete, it would be to attend this camp. Spending a week observing at Point Guard College has been a sort of revival for everyone here. Another observing coach even said out loud that he felt like he had been reborn. We are excited, we are energized, and we have picked up so many teaching tools that we can take back and implement with our kids in every aspect of our lives. I became a better coach, a better teacher, a better mother, a better wife, a better friend by being here surrounded by so many like-minded and inspiring people. I saw 135 kids walk through those doors as shy, timid, awkward strangers. Through the course of this week, I watched PGC staff pour themselves into these kids and ultimately bring 135 strangers together. I not only saw, I felt the energy and the connection formed.... A family like bond created in just 4 days. They learned so much about basketball and even more about leadership. Not a single kid will walk out of these doors the same person they walked in as. Not one. My new dream is to do everything I can to replicate this experience to the best of my ability every single day so that every kid who walks into our program, or walks into my classroom, doesn't walk out the same."
    - Jess Stafford

    "Our son came home having learned so much. While he was exhausted (in a good way he could not wait to tell us all about it. I asked him what he felt was his biggest take away from the week. He responded that one would be preparing for the moment and mistakes ahead of time so that when the "moment" or adversity comes you have already rehearsed how you will respond."
