See What Athletes Have Had To Say About PGC

This program is what every aspiring basketball player needs. …I learned to break out of my shell and help my teammates by bringing encouragement, spirit and leadership.
Carrie McMahon  |  London, England
Now my approach towards everything—my training, games, relationships, teammates, school and my life—has made a 180-degree turnaround. I am so thankful that I could attend PGC.
Meredith Pruden  |  Wilson, North Carolina
The classroom sessions changed my game more than anything else. I particularly loved the Unruffleability and the Extra Ounce lectures.
Michael Lutter  |  Columbus, Ohio
Zach’s coach said to him, ‘I don’t know how much you paid for Point Guard College this summer, but it was worth every penny. You’ve improved in every facet of your game.
Greg Tudor  |  West Lafayette, Indiana
Playmaker College has impacted my life so much. My parents will be wowed at how I’ve changed.
Jack Crull  |  PGC Grad, Marshall, MI
PGC Grad School opened my eyes to things I had never seen or thought about before. It has SCHAPE’d me into what I always hoped I would become—a LEADER.
Noah Drassinower  |  Toronto, ON
In the Shooting College, I found new ways to tweak my shot so I can perfect my form. The drills we learned to create our own personal shooting work-out gave me a template that I can follow so I’m not just shooting around at the gym. It’s great how such a small work-out can be so effective. All I can say is thank you for the experience and I can’t wait to be back!
Kate Inchun  |  Houston, Texas
I have been to lots of camps and clinics, but I’ve never been taught or even heard of the things I’ve learned at the Speed & Explosion College.
Meghan Buchanan  |  Lethbridge, AB, Canada
What I liked about the Speed & Explosion College is it showed me a completely different aspect of basketball (speed, agility, quickness), rather than just focusing on skills.
Leah Ross  |  Brooklyn, NY
These past few days have had such an impact on my mindset and my commitments. …I feel invigorated, inspired, and excited.
Grace Williams  |  Anchorage, AK
My overall experience for the second time at Point Guard College was too good for words. I am going to take each thing I learned for the rest of my life - as well as my notebook!
Jamie Irwin  |  Essentials Graduate
Most valuable week of my life. I didn't only learn how to think the game, but how to think my life as well.
Vincent Butler-Japorte  |  Boucherville, Quebec, Canada
I have gone to many different basketball camps, and there is absolutely no camp that can even hold a candle to PGC. I have never met anybody in my life that I respect more than you, Coach D. You know exactly what you are talking about, and you are the smartest person I know when it comes to basketball.
Michael Gould  |  Newton, Massachusetts (two-time Think The Game grad)
Words can't explain how much I have learned this week. This 'college' is definitely the best camp in the United States. You and all of the coaching staff know the game of basketball, and you taught it at such a higher and more detailed level than I could have ever imagined.
Jonathan Hedblum  |  Colonial Heights, Virginia
I would recommend this program to any serious basketball player —regardless of size or position. Excellent coaching staff -- they were all great teachers of the game.
Shelby Turcotte  |  Litchfield, Maine
This camp must be the best camp in the whole world. The staff is SPECTACULAR. Every lesson and every gym session were helpful in every way.
Katie Harton  |  Rockwall, Texas
I've never had more fun at a basketball camp. It's such a great feeling to work as hard as you can and then see it pay off in a game. There was always a coach giving reminders and personally helping you out.
Casey Stokes  |  Hummelstown, Pennsylvania
My PGC experience was one of a kind. It showed me how hard I have to work to play at the next level. I enjoyed it so much that I'm planning on coming back next year. I will be taking everything I learned here and applying it to my game and my life.
Robert Phillips  |  Playmaker College Graduate
After attending Think The Game last year, I was very excited to be able to come to the Essentials course. After my week at Essentials, I feel as though I am walking away with a completely new game. I feel much more driven and determined to achieve my goals. This week was unforgettable and I look forward to returning for Advanced Concepts.
Emma Golen  |  Essentials Graduate
My enthusiasm for the game is at a whole new level. PGC is the best thing that can happen to a basketball player!
Laura Brigham  |  Los Alto, California
I have become not only a better athlete, but a better student of the game. I can tell that my 'Basketball IQ' has improved tremendously.
Jordan Labbe  |  Crownsville, Maryland
Anytime I have a question during the season, I will consult my new 'Basketball Bible.'
Kevin Pratte  |  Hemet, California
I will be more prepared to control the tempo and position my teammates for high-percentage shots. Pressure won't scare me anymore. Every session had an impact on my game.
Brittney Stauffer  |  McVeytown, Pennsylvania
“Man, where do I start...Point Guard College, in my opinion, is one of the best weeks an athlete who truly wants to 'step up' their game could experience. This is my second time around and it has been one of the most productive and enhancing weeks I've spent on learning how to 'think the game'.
Maddie Helms  |  2007 Think The Game Graduate
I LOVED Essentials and how much information on the game of basketball it included. There are SO many hidden pieces that are so small but make such a big difference. I don't know where else I would have found those pieces, besides PGC.
Devon Spirka  |  Essentials Graduate
Tonight I had the best game of my life. And the better decisions and plays I made, and most everything good that I did, you taught me only a couple of days earlier. I thank you for this very special week that has shaped me into a better basketball player and a better person in my life.
J.J. Landis  |  Fredericksburg, Texas
Thanks for reinforcing my belief that basketball is not only about size or even speed, but about mental toughness, sound 'old school' fundamentals, spirit, and preparation.
Glenn Schmidt  |  Mayhew, Mississippi
My son’s experience at PGC this summer awakened the leader within him. He has been able to translate what he learned at PGC into the classroom (currently 4.0, up from 2.8 last year), and his on-court skill-set and communication are bringing him a lot of attention. There are literally hundreds of options for basketball related experiences, but there is only one Point Guard College.
Emmanuel Choice  |  Charlotte, North Carolina
I loved the classroom sessions—having never experienced anything like them, I had no idea what to expect. But, they were more valuable than anything I could have imagined. Thanks for an amazing five days that I wouldn't exchange for anything!

As a player who has a passion for basketball, this week changed me. PGC has improved my mental, physical, and emotional skills. I am leaving PGC as a new player, but better yet, a new person. PGC helped me to develop my consistency, precision, and a ridiculous attention to detail.
Amanda Sarellas  |  Toronto, Ontario
I don’t know a single athlete who wouldn’t benefit from learning all the things I learned at PGC. This week changed the way I see the game, other people, and myself. I see things in a whole new way. I stretched myself more this week than I have in my entire life.
Alex Cardinale  |  Guilford, Connecticut
I literally JUST finished my first AAU game since the PGC Essentials course. I'm am beyond happy with the results. I scored 17 out of our team's 43 points! I did two jump stops, one what's up fake, one inside-outside finish, and one c-rip. I could not get PGC out of my head during the game and I couldn't wait to thank you. I just want to thank you a million times for stretching me to new limits. And, you have brought me back to having fun with the game and enjoying it. I am extremely grateful for my progress and I just want to say thanks.
Gabriella Rafaniello  |  PGC Grad
Your PGC session at Benedictine was more than training hard for a week. The session was about life and you used basketball as your way of connecting. I guess what I am trying to say is that you have really affected my life. I want to thank you for all that you did in that week.
Andrew Wiggin  |  PGC Grad
I attended the PGC Essentials at Bryant College and I really want to thank you for everything. You really showed me a new perspective on the game. In fact, PGC changed my whole view of basketball. I left feeling motivated to work harder, but for once I really felt as if I knew what I had to work harder at. I loved the classroom sessions and hearing you lecture. I feel like that had the biggest impact on my game. When I got back to my summer league, I noticed myself playing alot more under control, powerful, and making passes I never previously. You really taught me how to be a student of the game, and I can't thank you enough for that. You were one of the most inspiring people I have ever met. I constantly find myself looking at my PGC notebook reading and re-reading your quotes about mental toughness. I consider that week I spent at PGC to be one of the best weeks of my life.
James Walsh  |  PGC Grad
Coach Adam, I learned so much more about basketball in this week than I have in my entire playing career. All your time and effort have made me both a better basketball player and person. Your classroom sessions were thrilling and working out three times a day gave me an adrenaline rush. I didn’t want to go home. I had so much hunger to learn more. On the car ride home with my parents, all I could think and talk about was the week with so many amazing people. I immediately burst into tears thinking that I might never have the same coaching staff and athletes supporting me. I will never forget what I learned at PGC and how it changed my mentality. I know I want to play Division I basketball and you equipped me with the tools to get me there. Thank you for giving me a true dose of reality, and putting me back on track for the most successful life I could have.
Ann-Marie Jacobs  |  PGC Grad
When I first signed up for PGC and read about the classroom sessions, I’ll be honest, I had no idea what we could possibly learn in all that time in the classroom. Wow, was I wrong! I learned so many valuable things—many that I didn’t even know existed. I took 57 pages of notes and they are so valuable that I plan to review them every day.
