Podcast Link: https://youtu.be/z-fmevFimbQ?si=hSFlthAsp8TxFi3V
Coach Lenny Krebs is an Indiana HS Basketball Coaching icon. Krebs has recently joined the Mental Edge Academy & is their VP of Strategic Accounts & is no longer teaching & coaching HS basketball. By joining the Mental Edge Academy’s staff & Lenny is fulfilling his true passion: helping athletes become mentally stronger. This has been a commonality between Lenny & me for a long time, so I was excited when Coach Krebs & I began a professional partnership. I have known Lenny Krebs since the early 90s & am stoked to work with him on this important endeavor.
We're always looking for ways to give our athletes an edge, and this fall we found one worth sharing. Rustbelt Basketball has partnered with Mental Edge Academy, a mental performance training program built specifically for athletes and coaches, and we want to make sure you know everything it includes. Schools Already Using Mental Edge Academy You'd be in good company. Programs already using Mental Edge Academy include: Warsaw Northridge Northwood Concord Mishawaka Plymouth Bremen Winamac South Bend Riley Central Noble Bellmont (girls basketball, defending state champion) Crown Point DeKalb Jimtown South Knox University of St. Francis, Fort Wayne (women's basketball) University of St. Francis, Fort Wayne (men's basketball) The 365 Day Program This is the core of Mental Edge Academy: a full year of mental training built right into the season, not a one-time workshop. Daily Mental Workouts: short, daily mental training activities built into athletes' routines so mental reps happen as consistently as physical ones. Weekly Office Hours: a standing weekly touchpoint for athletes and coaches to work through whatever's coming up in real time. Monthly Assessments: a recurring check-in that tracks where each athlete stands and how they're trending over the season. Confidence Coach: a guided tool that helps athletes work through confidence and performance anxiety. Reflection Coach: a structured space for athletes to process games, practices, and setbacks so the lessons actually stick. Coach Debrief: a regular debrief built for coaches, so they get the same reflection process their athletes do, through a coach's lens. Parent Toolkit: resources that bring parents into the process, so what's being built at practice doesn't get undone at home. Through this partnership, the 365 Day Program is available at $1,000 for one team, or $1,500 for both your boys' and girls' programs together. This pricing is available through the end of October. (This is normally $2,500 per team.) The Basketball Training Camp (For the Length of Your Season) For a lower-commitment starting point, Mental Edge Academy also offers the Basketball Training Camp. The key difference from the 365 Day Program: the Training Camp runs for the length of your basketball season rather than year-round, so it's a shorter commitment built specifically to give one team a shared language and toolset for confidence, focus, and handling pressure. It's an ideal way to kick off a season or reset mid-year, and teams can roll straight from the camp into the full 365 Day Program later if they choose. The camp includes daily AM/PM mental fitness activities, a pre-game Confidence Coach and post-game Reflection Coach, and team-wide tools your athletes can start using right away. One team (boys or girls): $500 Both boys and girls teams together: $750 total This pricing is available through the end of October. And every package, camp, or year-round also includes Coach Forward 7 at no additional cost, a free coaching development resource with tools and support built specifically for the people leading the teams. Open to Every Rustbelt Subscriber, Wherever You Coach This special is not limited to Ohio. If you're part of the Rustbelt network and received this email, you get this pricing, no matter what state you coach in. Both of these offers expire at the end of October. Want to Learn More?

Currently, I am the clinic director for the Northwest Ohio District VII Basketball Coaches’ Association (NOD7BCA), a staff member for the newly formed Rustbelt Basketball Coaches’ Network, a high school basketball game color analyst for Buckeye Cable Sport Network (BCSN), and creator & lead author for “In Ted’s Honor” weekly, free basketball coaches’ newsletter.

I just wanted to reach out and say thank you so much for the content you have shared! I watched your blocker/mover 101 YouTube video just now. I am all in on running it this season. I coach Varsity Girls basketball at Herscher HS in Illinois. My name is Tim McElroy. I can tell you care about kids the way you talk and your love for the game and sharing!! I would love to get on the phone with you sometime and talk more about basketball if you'd ever be available to share more wisdom with a young coach. This will be my 2nd season as the head coach. We have a couple of decent shooters and really athletic raw players and then a bunch of girls I don't want handling the ball haha so Dick Bennett's very basic flare pin continuity, where we have started this summer and I love hiding players in the blocker spots. I believe we will only be as good as our SCREENS this season and man I have never had a coach explain it in such a detailed manner like you!!” Coach Tim McEloy, IL “Derek Sheridan and I met as opponents playing for Huntington College and Saint Francis College in the old NAIA Mid-Central College Conference in the early 90’s. He has always been a basketball junkie wanting to learn as much as possible about all aspects of the game. Over the past 30 years in our quest to become head coaches, Derek has worked his way from the bottom up sponging knowledge from personal experience, meeting with rookie through veteran coaches, watching videos and game film, collaborating with peers, and writing books along the way. As a coach, he has personally been a mentor to countless numbers of young coaches and players helping them become as fundamentally sound as can be while instilling values and integrity. It is fitting that he is continuing the mentorship by passing along his vast amounts of knowledge to innumerable amounts of coaches through this website form of multimedia. As a peer who has been mentored by Derek multiple times along the way I am not surprised that he is delving into this venture to give coaches an opportunity at an easy way to advance their knowledge of basketball towards bettering the experience of their teams and players. Over the years, he has helped my program, specifically our Blocker/Mover offense & the aspects of the Princeton offense we’ve added. His organizational tools are unreal, they will save you time. Coach Eric Thompson, Huntington North HS, (IN); Head Boys’ Varsity Basketball Coach “We utilize most of the Rustbelt products for one reason, they make our lives easier. I could add a lot more to this statement but the main point I’m making is, RBCN products have made my life easier. Well done & thank you Coach Sheridan.” Coach Troy Opperman, Jackson Center HS (OH); Varsity Assistant “Just wanted to let you know we used your “32” zone offense last night against a top rated team
