Crowell Life Skills

About Crowell Life Skills

Basketball is a fabulous tool to teach self-discipline, trust, hard work, honesty, commitment, courage & confidence. We teach success on and off the court. When Fred Crowell took a leap of faith to begin NBC Camps in 1971, a lot of people thought I was crazy. That was a long time ago and a lot has changed. One thing that has not is the purpose and mission of NBC Camps. Basketball is a great game but it will betray the dreams of 99% of all the boys and girls growing up wishing to play in the NBA and WNBA. It is my firm conviction that there has to be more to make basketball worth it. I honestly believe if BASKETBALL does not make you a better person it is a WASTE of time, money and energy for the 99% who do not make it to the professional level to earn a living. Basketball is a fabulous tool to teach self-discipline, trust, hard work, honesty, commitment, courage and confidence. Many basketball programs and coaches talk about making players better people without delivering. NBC Camps’ core value is to prepare players for success in life. At the foundation of what we do is a desire to build life and joy into each individual that crosses our path. We want to convey that the real value of playing this game is to look back on a career of competitive sports, not with regret, frustration and hurt feelings, but rather an appreciation for what the game has taught us both as athletes and people. The secret to success for athletes is to learn to play in the fifth dimension. If an athlete can learn to perform in the fifth dimension it will not only translate to a higher degree of success in sports, but also equip them with the tools to be successful in life.
