Due to his demanding WNBA schedule, Alex is unable to attend the 2026 Residential Camp in person, so he has handpicked our top Transforming Clinicians from around the world to lead the 3rd annual Transforming Basketball Residential Summer Camp.
At Transforming Basketball, every coach is handpicked for their expertise in the constraints-led approach and their dedication to using proven, evidence-based methods, so you leave with the most effective tools, strategies, and insights to elevate your game or coaching long after the camp ends.
Our coaching team is made up of passionate lifelong learners, committed to excellence and staying at the forefront of the game whether you’re a player or a coach.
