About Built to Hoop — Why BTH Exists
The Story · Built to Hoop

The Court
Isn't Done With You.

Built to Hoop exists for the hoopers who refuse to quit — who still play pickup every week, still chase the feeling of the ball leaving their hand on a game-winner, and still deserve a body that can keep up.

This isn't a generic training program. It's a system built from the ground up for pickup players — 18 to 35, working jobs, playing 3–4 nights a week, and tired of being told to "just stretch more."

Why BTH Exists

I Wasn't Hurt.
I Was Undertrained For Hooping.

For years I did what every hooper does. Lifted. Ran. Stretched. Did the mobility videos. Foam rolled. Took ibuprofen before games. Bought the ankle braces. Swore I'd "take a week off" and came back feeling worse.

The real problem wasn't any single injury. It was that nobody was training me for the way I actually played basketball — pickup runs 3–4 times a week, league games on top, and a body that had been "asking nicely" for a decade.

Every training program I tried was built for somebody else. College athletes with trainers on staff. Bodybuilders with no sport. Guys who train to train. Not one was built for the hooper who still plays.

So I built the system I needed. Tested it on my own body first. Added hips, ankles, knees, and recovery protocols for every weak link I'd worked through myself. Then started passing it to friends who were struggling the same way. It worked.

That's BTH. The system built for the guy who's still playing, refuses to stop, and needs his body to hold up.

"You're not hurting because you're old. You're hurting because nobody taught you how to train and play at the same time."

What BTH Stands For

Three Non-Negotiables.

Every single piece of content, every program, every add-on is built on these three pillars. If an idea doesn't pass these three tests, it doesn't make it into BTH.

01

Built Around Pickup

Every program assumes you're still playing while training. No "take 6 weeks off and come back stronger" prescriptions. You don't have 6 weeks. The court is Thursday.

02

Readiness First

I teach you how to tell the difference between Light · Moderate · Hard days. Your body gives you the answer every morning — most hoopers have never been taught to read it.

03

No Dunk-First Hype

BTH is not a "get hops in 30 days" program. It's a stay-on-the-court-forever program. Explosiveness, pop, bounce — those show up as a byproduct of being healthy. Chasing them first breaks people.

The Method

Five Phases. One System.

Everything inside BTH — Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, every add-on — plugs into the same 5-Phase methodology. You don't need to buy the whole thing at once. You pick the phase that matches where your body is.

Phase 01
Reset
Phase 02
Rebuild
Phase 03
Strength to Bounce
Phase 04
Game Speed
Phase 05
Stay Ready

Tier 1 Foundation handles Phases 1–2. Tier 2 Rise carries you through Phases 3–5 across 12 weeks. Tier 3 Stay Ready is the membership that keeps you inside the whole library for life.

Who BTH Is Built For

Three Hoopers.
One System.

BTH was built around three very specific people. If you don't see yourself in these — the program probably isn't for you, and that's okay.

01

The Pickup Grinder — 20 to 28

You play 3–4 times a week. Your gym work is hit-or-miss because your legs are always heavy. You know you should have a system, but everything you've tried was built for somebody else. You need a plan that respects the fact you're still playing.

02

The Returning Hooper — 24 to 32

You took time off — college ended, life happened, a job kicked in. Now you're trying to come back and your body keeps breaking down every time you push. You need to rebuild the foundation before chasing performance. Tier 1 first.

03

The Hard Worker With No System — 18 to 24

You train a lot. Effort isn't the issue. But nothing connects — lifts don't translate to game, cardio doesn't carry over, mobility work feels like wasted time. You need a system that actually ties the pieces together.
