Beyond the Scoreboard is committed to creating an audio experience to help you develop into the best leader you can be, so you can transform your athletes to reach their full potential both on and off the court.
This week on Beyond the Scoreboard, we're joined by Chris Oliver, founder of Basketball Immersion and one of the most influential voices in modern basketball coaching.
With a coaching career that spans from college sidelines to consulting for high school, college, and NBA teams, Chris shares how creating fun, competitive, and evidence-informed practices can unlock player potential and transform team culture.
What if one question from a player could change the way you coach forever?
In this episode, we uncover what really keeps athletes engaged—real competition, constant growth, and a team culture where they truly belong. Chris Oliver shares the moment that flipped his coaching mindset when a top player asked why they weren’t even playing basketball in practice. The answer changed everything.
Here's why you’ll wanna tune in:
- The three core drivers that keep athletes fully engaged: competition, growth, and community
- Why true engagement goes beyond drills and into purpose-driven practice
- How one player's honest question sparked a coaching transformation
- Insights from Chris on building a more intentional, athlete-centered environment
Whether you're a basketball coach, trainer, sports parent, or player, this conversation is filled with valuable insights to help you rethink your approach to practice, player engagement, and coaching philosophy.
