Seize this opportunity:
Develop your game and pursue your dream.
As one who played varsity basketball in Vermont, I understand the need for quality off-season instruction and analysis. Prepare yourself before you tryout.
This clinic provides specialized, concentrated player development including consultation, instruction and evaluation. Athletes will be videotaped as they perform specific drills to increase their skill set and basketball IQ. Tape will be broken down and given to students for the most applicable guidance and direction.
Students have the option to play pick up basketball in an unstructured environment prior to the VPA approved practice schedule. Many times these ‘open gym’ scrimmages become more a display of individual scoring attempts; and less of fundamental, game situations that increase the teams overall play.
In contrast, jOURney will provide students the opportunity for structured, knowledgeable and passionate understanding regarding this great sport, their teammates and themselves.

A percentage of the profits will go to the Vermont Army National Guard in honor of my cousin, Scott McLaughlin,
who gave his life for the hope of freedom in Iraq.
"In my experience with Jeff he is very knowledgeable about the game of basketball and a blessing to work with." Jake Voskuhl (10 yr. NBA pro)
"Jeff Fuller was a coach for me when I was the principal of Crossett Brook Middle School I observed his calm and consistent manner of coaching, his passion for the game and his even-handedness in dealing with adults." Ken Page (Executive Director, VPA)
"Jeff has a great understanding of the game. He works kids hard, making them better while improving both their skill set and basketball IQ." George Rodecker (NBA draft analyst)
"Jeff has a clear passion for basketball, and has continuously sought to grow the game in Vermont. He has proven to be a tireless worker with his radio show, and I'm sure that work ethic applies to everything he does." Will Voigt (former Vermont Frost Heaves Head Coach)

Player Consultation, Development and Analysis
Well ... seemingly we're making headway to begin a Player Development Group. The details need to be 'ironed out'; as the saying goes. But I've received support from 3 local AD's.
Now to secure a gym, sign up students and make sure all checks clear.
Students to receive 1 inaugural edition light colored shortsleeve t-shirt and 1 dark colored "jOURney" t-shirt. As well as premium instruction and coaching expertise ...

Player Development
turning ideas of a dream into a plan for reality
What would you do, risk even, for the opportunity to be apart of something bigger than yourself; something where you go to work thrilled for the reward and fulfillment of your long hours and investment?
It isn't, necessarily, about monetary reward. It's all about being in your element and 'paying it forward' so to speak.
THIS, that, is what I want to 'waste' myself in.

Donning Bamboo Apparel
Today I am donning 85% bamboo socks and a 70/30 polo; assessing bamboo's comfort and technical functionality.
It is comfortable; but isn't every pair of new socks ...

Bamboo Sportswear
All indications prove that bamboo apparel is all that it is cracked up to be. Odor-resistant, thermal regulating, ... extremely soft, smooth, sleek and stealthy even ... antimicrobial, hypoallergenic and from what I have researched, it even provides UV protection.
Now ... the style and fit for my company. Let the market and branding of "another" green, eco-friendly company continue ...

bamboo apparel
though it has a tendency to shrink if tumble dried, this short sleeve T I'm 'testing' is unbelievably soft and comfortable. We'll see how antimicrobial and odor resistant it is ... played football in it yesterday and it has no 'stank' today ... what sweat-filled activity can I do now in it???

samples
I'm picking up some bamboo apparel samples this week ... AND, 'my' graphic artist is working on the logo ... I hope to be BRANDING soon ;)

Consultations
Tomorrow I am discussing the viability of a player development group in the Central Vermont 'region'; and Wednesday I have a meeting with a local business owner regarding the formulation of a bamboo sportswear line.
It begins. Pen to paper; ideas to action ...

The cart before the horse ...
Not sure which is which ...
I have a logo (in my head), potential location to draw and the name; branding and marketing underway.
However, it would be helpful to have a facility and some financing ... clientele wouldn't hurt either ...
Next week, pen to paper; as I'm meeting with 'consultants' regarding the realistic viability of this endeavor.

I need a gym.
I will not be discouraged. However, one gym wants to charge $50/hour for usage; and can't, or won't, guarantee it's availability.

a player development group specializing in improving athletes aptitude and skill maturation
Scheduling a meeting; an initial consult
Interestingly, my daughter's T-ball coach has a fashion line; one which primarily uses bamboo. Bamboo is naturally anti-microbial.
Not only have I always been intrigued by starting a sportswear line; but believe, trust, hope & pray the timing is appropriate to integrate those thoughts and ideas into a 'business plan.'
IF "desperation breeds innovation" then ... PLEASE God, let innovation + hard work = reward & fulfillment.
