NOT EVERY GAME STRUGGLE IS A TRANSFER PROBLEM. 🏀

Before we blame transfer, we need to make sure the player can perform the skill, use it at game speed, recognize the opportunity, and is given the chance to use it.

Sometimes the skill is still developing. Sometimes the opportunity never appears.

But when a player can perform the skill in training and cannot access it during competition, they may be stuck in The Transfer Gap.

The correct solution starts with the correct diagnosis.

I break down this process in my upcoming book, The Transfer Gap, coming fall 2026.

🏀 BACK-TO-SCHOOL CAMP WITH COACH LEXI

Coach Lexi had an amazing group of girls in the gym for Back-to-School Camp!

The players worked on:

✅ Ball handling
✅ Footwork
✅ Finishing
✅ Building confidence on the court

Coach Lexi demonstrated each skill, provided personalized corrections, and connected with every player throughout the session.

Thank you to everyone who came out and trained with us. We loved having you in the gym!

“The focus on ball handling, movement with the ball, and shooting has transformed our kids’ confidence and skill level.”

Thank you, Tonya Origer Carlson, for trusting Hested Hoops with your athletes’ development.

Our goal is to build skilled, confident players through intentional training that continues to show up on the court.

Your player may not have a skill problem.

They may have a transfer problem. 🏀

They can execute the move perfectly in training, but when the same opportunity appears in a game, they hesitate, pass it up, or fall back into old habits.

That doesn’t always mean they need another move.

They may need to learn how to:
• Recognize the opportunity
• Trust the skill
• Use it against a live defender
• Execute under pressure
The space between practicing a skill and using it when it matters is what I call:

The Transfer Gap

They can execute the move perfectly in training.

But when the same opportunity appears in a game, they hesitate, pass it up, or fall back into old habits.

That doesn’t always mean they need another move.

It may mean they haven’t learned how to:

* Recognize the opportunity
* Trust the skill
* Use it against a live defender
* Execute under pressure

That gap between doing a skill in trainingand using it when it matters is what I call The Transfer Gap.

25 seconds can’t show nearly five years,but it can show what nearly five years can build. 🏀

Emmett has grown up in our gym. Through different seasons and stages of his development, the skills have changed, the challenges have changed, and the expectations have continued to rise.

That’s the part a short video can’t fully capture.

This isn’t only a look at how much Emmett has improved. It’s a reminder of what can be built when a player stays committed to developing over time.

Proud of what we’ve built together, Emmett. There’s still more ahead.
