My Why:
CMB BasketballTraining.com was created for you. Whether a coach or a baller, you will find basketball training to take you to the next level. I’m Coach Todd, and I decided to start documenting what I learned about the game as a resource to help others improve. I see on different forums the same thing over and over: Coaches who want to be exceptional and they don’t know where to start. These coaches have hearts for their players and a spirit to learn.
Let me help you get started improving today. This site is going to take some time to build out, so be patient with me as I have a roadmap of topics I want to cover; it is vast, and I’m just going to tackle each subject one at a time. Join me on this adventure of becoming the best coaches and players/ballers we can be.
