Why us

Basketball is in our DNA

We met through basketball. Every one of us is a baller: people whose love for the game carried them through the hard stretches of their own lives, and who know exactly what it asks of a player. Several of us came up through the academy system ourselves, from Barking Abbey to the Bristol Flyers Academy, so we know that world from the inside.

Why clubs bring us in

The mental side of the game

There is only so much court time. Your coaches already give these players a huge amount, often beyond their remit and in their own time. But between skills and athletic development, the mental side is the piece clubs are most often stretched to deliver in real depth.
We add a layer, we don’t take one away. We are not replacing your coaching. We add a structured, high-quality mentoring layer alongside it: the mindset, the habits, and the parts of life off the court that shape what happens on it.
Young athletes carry a lot. School and academic pressure, life at home, their own goals, often a school team as well as a club. We help players name that load and find practical ways not just to get through it, but to thrive through it.
The strengths transfer off the court. Basketball already builds leadership, teamwork, goal-setting and resilience. We help players name those strengths, sharpen them, and carry them into a UCAS or personal statement, a CV, a job application, and goals that reach every corner of their life. Players who finish a full programme leave with a certificate of completion, and something concrete to point to.

The Visionary process begins with self-awareness. You have to look inward before you can look forward.

Staying resilient

On the mental side of the game.
The Visionary Process

Three domains in sequence. Two that never stop.

Each domain is a six-week block, one hour a week. The same three domains as our schools programme, translated to the squad.
01

SEE Yourself Clearly

Where the self-talk comes from, how it shows up in a game, and the point in the chain a player can actually control.

02

Become a VISIONARY

What they want from basketball, what they want from a life that contains basketball, and which limiting beliefs are in the way.

03

ENHANCE Your Focus

Goals made specific, broken into habits, and tracked. On court, in the classroom, and in the hours nobody is watching.

Running through all three
The work

The Visionary Toolkit

Practical tools handed over as they are needed: organisation, distraction, environment, study, time management, wellbeing and mastery.
The hard work

Visionary Mindset

Resilience, discipline, and the Visionary Reset: what to do in the moment when it isn’t working.
Mentors

Mentors your players believe

Mentoring only works if the young person rates the person in front of them. We select mentors for credibility with the group they are working with, and train them to a shared standard.
For club work, that usually means players who have made the journey your squad is on, and who can describe the route, because they walked it.
Ways to work with us

Built around your club

One player, a team, or your whole club

Work with an individual, a full squad, or across the whole club. No need to split a team up.

The full process, or a single session

The complete three-domain programme, or a one-off or short block on a single topic: resilience, goal-setting, coming back from loss or injury.

We recommend a season

Given the choice, we spread the work across a season and land it at the moments that matter: the run-up to exams, or the playoffs. Prefer one-offs? We deliver those at strategic points instead.

At camps and events

Sessions at summer, half-term and holiday camps. We also give talks at award evenings and community events.

Build your own

Pick the topics and shape that suit your players. We bring in experts where it helps.

Cost

We start by understanding what you want, then come back with a few ways to run it, each with a clear per-player rate.

Safeguarding

How we keep young people safe

Our programme asks young people to be honest about themselves. That takes clear boundaries, adults who have been properly vetted, and the reassurance that what they share is treated with care and respect.
Read our safeguarding approach →

Vetted and trained

Every mentor comes with an enhanced DBS, safeguarding training, and in-house mentoring training built for the age group they work with.

Raising a concern

Concerns go to our own Level 3 Designated Safeguarding Lead and your club’s welfare officer, worked through your routes so nothing is missed.

A code of conduct

Every mentor commits to a code of conduct that holds them to clear standards of professionalism and boundaries.
