this is what I wish every hooper knew earlier

If I could go back and talk to my younger self or pretty much any hooper in their 20s, I’d say this: basketball doesn’t end because you get older, it ends because your body stops trusting you.


Not because you’re “washed.” Not because you lost skill. But because your knees, Achilles, or back finally vote “no” after years of random training and inconsistency.


Most hoopers think playing more basketball is the answer. When something hurts, they rest a bit, ice it, stretch it, then jump right back into full-speed runs and wonder why the pain keeps coming back.


What I wish I knew earlier is that durability is a skill that can be trained. Our bodies like consistency and structure.


And staying explosive long-term has way more to do with how you train between games than how hard you play during them.


That’s the entire reason I built the Hoop For Life Playbook. It’s a simple system to keep you strong, springy, and on the court for decades, not just the next run.


Cuz quitting basketball shouldn’t come from avoidable pain. It should come when you’re actually ready to hang it up.


If you’re not ready to hang it up, don’t wait for the New Year to start working on yourself. This program is specifically designed to fit around your life and work, so if you can handle it during the holidays, you can still with it anytime.


So join today for the price of a bowl at Chipotle, and enjoy a 4-week, money back guarantee.


Let’s Go!


See you on the inside,


- Chris
