Transforming Basketball

Transforming Basketball exists as a vehicle to share how Alex Sarama and his team practically apply the principles of contemporary skill acquisition. The Transforming Basketball approach is centered upon an ecological dynamics rationale being used as a framework used to view basketball performance and reconceptualise the role of the coach and basketball practitioner. An ecological approach underpins the methodologies adopted by Transforming Basketball. The five design principles of a nonlinear pedagogy manifest into the application of a constraints-led approach. Rather than viewing skills as techniques or patterns to be acquired and internalised, skill is viewed as an emergent property predicated around the relationship between the player and their environment. Transforming Basketball exists to help the basketball world move beyond traditional paradigms that have existed across many decades. Through online resources, blogs, podcasts, online courses, live events and consulting, the basketball world now has an opportunity to benefit from evidence-based ideas.
