FOSBURY FLOP

Alex Sarama, Director of Player Development for the Cleveland Cavaliers, invited me to the Transforming Basketball Camp. There, I was able to know how Alex thinks about basketball performance and how Transforming Basketball, the company he leads, helps players, coaches, and organizations make sense of an evidence-based approach: the CLA, Constraints-Led Approach. What I liked the most, however, wasn’t any scientific theory or basketball task; it was Alex's constant dedication to the learning of the players and coaches who trusted him.
