From Richard Ford’s College Coach

From His Students
“What meant more to me than anything was the fact that you took the time to learn about us. It was really cool how you would just randomly call our names. It made me feel important. Thanks a bunch!” — Unknown
“My experience at your camp this summer was excellent. I learned a lot, especially in the classroom. I’m taking my notes to my coach! You were awesome. Overall, I give my experience a 10.” — Unknown
“I learned a lot of things that I didn’t know. I had never been to camp where I actually had to take notes, but I’m glad that you made us do so. Now I can go back over my notes when I start league play. Thank you for giving me the confidence to step out of my comfort zone!” — Simone W.
“The teaching was great! You had my attention everyday on whatever topic we were discussing. I also like how you have gym time right after the classroom session…that gave another way to grasp the information and make it more productive.” — Sharronda D.
“This was my first camp. The drills made sense and helped me learn how to improve my passing and decision-making on the court. You went over things that most players have been told but haven’t been taught! I strongly believe that I am leaving this camp with a lot more knowledge of the game and a better understanding of what being a leader really means.” — Belle B.
“You really opened my eyes. I think for me, you mainly helped me with my leadership skills. I’m usually a quiet person, but I found myself at some points actually being the one to bring my team together. You really helped me. Keep smiling!” — Lysette G.
“I loved every minute of your camp. You are a very good instructor. I came to your camp to find that inner-motivator and leader that I had stuck inside me, and I did. Thank you for this amazing experience.”
Kiompara A.
“I wish I had found you sooner. I’ve been to a ton of camps in my life, and yours is by far the best one.” — Clifton L.
“The information in the gym and in the classroom was thoroughly explained and understandable. You have vast knowledge of the game and were really available for us. It was a great camp and a great experience. Thank you!” — Unknown
“I learned tons of things that I wouldn’t have learned anywhere else. I’ve been to a lot of other camps and never got as much out of them as I got at your camp. Going to your camp is one of the best decisions I have made.” — Sean B.
“I really enjoyed the classroom sessions because it is not every day that you actually learn about basketball in a classroom environment. To have all these pointers and helpful hints all written down is very helpful because I can always go back to read or just remind myself of the little things you taught us.” — Paul M.
Your camp was GREAT! The stuff I learned was in-depth and easy to remember. Your camp is superior to camps that teach you how to throw a chest pass or pivot on the correct foot. What you have taught me gives me an advantage over other players. Thanks!” — Celeste C.
