The Difference

A trainer who's still in the fight.

Kyle Russell is a current collegiate basketball player training the next generation. He's been through exactly what your athlete is going through — the recruiting process, the pressure, the setbacks, the mental side of the game.

He knows it from the inside, because he's still living it. That's rare. That's the whole point of Anointed Basketball.

I know how hard it is to find a skills trainer who actually knows basketball — but also genuinely cares about your kid beyond the game. That balance is rare. That's what we built Anointed Basketball to be.
