Don Eddy's Basketball Camps - Comments From Participants

PLAYER COMMENTS

New Caney, TX:
The coaches give reasons / theories behind every move so we know when to use them. We learned about God and how He can play a tremendous role in your life if you let Him. I know that I can be a “difference maker” for others. This camp is great and sure to make you better.

Charleston, WVA:
Every part of my offensive game improved noticeably, especially the ability to red the defense and to make the correct move.

Castroville, TX:
This is my fourth year. Both your one on one game and shooting game will improve dramatically if you keep practicing the skills and drills at home. I know how to fix every shot missed without the help of anyone else. This camp not only helps your basketball game, but it is a great place to learn about God. Coach Eddy’s stories about others inspire me to keep pushing forward as it shows me real life examples of how amazing God really is. I am reassured! This camp is awesome, thanks a ton!

Pueblo, CO:
All phases of my game are better but particularly my one on one game. Especially helpful is knowing how to react when the defense is “in my face.” The other thing that I have to keep in mind is to keep working on my “off hand.” I came in touch with God on Thursday night.

Seguin, TX:
I was not a shooter but now I have that under control. So I’m better in every way and even though I was a driver I didn’t really understand what I was doing so now that part of my game is also a lot better. I am a senior coming up and I have been struggling with what I’m going to do after high school. Every single inspiration / devotion made things a little more clear about my future. The inspirations / devotions were my favorite part of camp.

Mt. Ida, AR:
This camp has prepared to go against some of the best in the nation! I’ll be going to San Diego, CA. to face that challenge.

San Benito, TX:
Every way that a basketball player can get better and every way a person can get better is what happened to me this week. In every aspect as a player and a person I got better. Thank you.

Snellville, GA:
My point guard skills were made better. The ball handling drills and the one on one game improved my court vision. The emphasis on using my “off hand (left)” over the course of the whole week made it a lot stronger.

Mission, TX:
I am a post player and usually I would just catch the ball and immediately shoot or pass because I would panic quickly. But because of all of the moves you taught us and the repetition and the emphasis on “low anxiety for post players” I am now able to be patient with the ball and make the appropriate move around the basket.

Brownsville, TX:
I now have the skills to excel in basketball! Attending this camp has also given me a new perspective on life. The stories about people who did things to help others and to overcome adversity moved me toward becoming a 100% person.

Columbia, SC:
I am much more aggressive and I have developed a real passion for wanting to play and to be as good as I can be! The other things I learned made me realize that the excellence I am striving for on the basketball court should show up in everything I do. In addition I had a lot of fun.

Greeley, CO: The things you teach the kids about the game, about God and themselves are priceless! Every year he learns so much basketball at camp, continues to apply and just keeps getting better. This camp has completely changed the way he plays the game along with growing his confidence. He says that the staff makes them feel so special and teaches them that God has a plan & purpose for their lives so this is why he chooses this camp each year. Along with all of this he has a lot of fun. He loves the coaches.

Maryville, TN: The focus here is about giving 100% = everything and saying yes to God! It wasn’t a ton of fun (he said “somewhat fun”) but he expected it to be work. He was glad he went, felt it was very valuable and worthwhile. He would attend again! The demonstrators / coaches were excellent and really made the camp. I sum this camp up as excellent in every way, the schedule was followed and I can’t imagine anything better.

Alpine, TX: This was absolutely a great investment! He said it was hard to retrain himself in some of the new techniques. Still struggling to some extent but he is staying on task and I see him succeeding. I see a new peace in him and a month later it is still in place.

Dawson, GA: My son received a lot of personal assistance and learned many new strategies. He is excited about using what he learned next season. He already had a sense of Godly purpose but you opened the door to his being more of a leader. He practices the drills and is showing them to others including his younger sister. I do not know how you did it but he has a new love for a sport he has enjoyed for a long time. Thanks!

Highlands Ranch, CO: The staff are great role models, The Lord is first and basketball second. Great basketball teaching here. This is their third year. Our sons attended several “big name camps” this summer and they ranked Don Eddy as #1.

Overland Park, KS: One thing I like is all of the paper work / evaluations / feedback & information you give the students at the end of camp. He and we know what he needs to work on. We can know what has been going on this week. Our son tends to be a little of the “glass half-empty” mentality some of the time and I think the positive / encouragement nature of this camp let him see “our positive or half full side.” The fact that he is hearing that God has a plan and purpose for his life is a big thing. He couldn’t wait to go back each day. This camp went above our expectations.

Fort Worth, TX: I really appreciate how your camps continue to help young people in an “all round” way. A week at camp make’s a difference in them as they mature and develop. This is her second year and the learning curve increased over last year. I see the difference already. She sets goals for the year and a lot of it is based on her experience here. Between our son and daughter we have been involved with this camp for several years and I continue to see small differences that continue to improve the experience.

Glenwood Springs, CO: Our son was inspired after going to this camp! The next day he was in the gym practicing and this is not typical behavior for him. He has learned how, using the programs he brought home from camp, that he can work hard by himself and improve his game. He is reading the bible and enjoyed the Christian aspect of the camp. He had fun and received a real boost of confidence. I can see marked improvement in his play.
