We recently had the pleasure of welcoming representatives from Drexel University to our academy for an insightful and inspiring visit focused on basketball development, education, and international collaboration.
The Drexel University team expressed strong interest in learning more about our academy, our director Jordi, and the philosophy that guides our work both on and off the court. During their visit, we presented our training facilities, introduced our player development model, and shared our long-term vision for nurturing athletes in a holistic and professional environment.
As part of the visit, we hosted a live basketball session and on-court presentation at our facilities in Cornellà de Llobregat, Barcelona, offering a hands-on look into our coaching methodology, training structure, and daily work with player.
A Meaningful Exchange of Ideas
What made this visit particularly valuable was the open exchange of ideas. Discussions covered a wide range of topics, including:
- Modern approaches to player development.
- Coaching methodologies and performance culture.
- The importance of education, discipline, and personal growth.
- The role of international exposure in shaping well-rounded, future-ready athletes.
These conversations reinforced the shared belief that basketball development today goes far beyond technical skills — it is about character, mindset, and global perspective.
