Basketball Knowledge Center
Information, education and resources designed to help athletes and parents better understand the game, the development process and the path toward reaching their goals.
Helping Athletes Reach Their Potential
At The Factory, we believe developing a basketball player involves more than simply putting in hours on the court.
The Knowledge Center was created to provide athletes and parents with information, education and resources that can help them make better decisions, understand the game and get more from the time and effort they invest in basketball.
Every athlete's journey is different. Some players simply want to become better basketball players and enjoy the game more. Others want to make their school team, earn a larger role, compete at the travel level, play varsity basketball or eventually pursue opportunities to play in college.
Whatever your current level or your ultimate goal, our purpose is to help you reach your potential.
The Knowledge Center brings together answers to common questions from basketball parents, educational videos and in-depth articles covering player development, training, basketball IQ, the mental game, strength and athletic development, recruiting and many of the other factors that influence an athlete's development.
