A short application and a 20-minute strategy call with Coach Steve to find out whether the program fits.
You don't need more drills. You need to know which ones.
A season-long mentorship with Coach Steve Johnston: a written evaluation of your game, a 90-day plan built to your goal, weekly coaching, and a re-evaluation that shows your progress.
FOR PLAYERS IN GRADES 7 THROUGH POST-GRAD
Every player has heard "you need to work on your shot."
Almost none of them have a written, honest breakdown from a coach who actually watched them play - with a plan attached. So they train hard on the wrong things, rate themselves higher than the film does, and wonder why the minutes don't come. The Blueprint fixes the diagnosis first. Then the work makes sense.
YOUR GAME, ON PAPER
This is your Blueprint.
A written evaluation, player-versus-coach ratings, and three priorities with a number and a date. Fictional example shown.
THE PROCESS
Your season, with a plan.
Every athlete gets their ratings against the coach's, four SWOT quadrants, and three measurable priorities. The card above is a fictional example.
Get evaluated
Rate yourself first. Coach Steve reviews a live, filmed evaluation or your game film if you are outside the area.
Receive your Blueprint
Your written Player SWOT and 90-day plan arrive within five business days, followed by a review call with you and your parent.
Do the work, with coaching
Weekly group calls, monthly one-on-one check-ins, drill assignments in Skool, and text access keep you accountable.
Re-evaluate
At the end of the season, compare updated ratings with your original plan. See what improved and what comes next.

YOUR COACH, ALL SEASON

BEFORE YOU APPLY
A few good questions.
The details that help your family decide.
The Blueprint is coaching, evaluation, and accountability. It gives you the plan and guidance. In-person training sessions are separate, with a discount for Blueprint athletes.
Grades 7 through post-grad. The evaluation and plan are built to the player's level and goal.
In-person evaluations take place in the Westchester / Fairfield County area. Outside the area, the evaluation uses game film and the rest of the program is virtual.
Join the SWOT review call, receive the Blueprint card, and get a monthly progress note. The private tier also includes a monthly parent call.
Coach Steve builds every Blueprint personally. The 20-minute call helps determine whether the program is the right fit for the player's goals.
Winter runs November through February. Spring runs March through June. Applications open six weeks before each season.
