About
Thrive3 Basketball Training offers basketball training, camps, coaches clinics, and mental skills training services for basketball players. The program states that it creates game-changing experiences that crossover from the court to life and that it develops people, not just players. Every training session or camp is customized to meet the individual needs of each player, with coaches evaluating, giving feedback, and creating custom micro-drills on the fly, and they state that they create skills, not drills.
Thrive3 Basketball Training was started by Mike Lee with one basketball camp in 2003 and has grown from his college apartment to an international brand. The program’s mission statement is, “We transform people. Not just players.” Thrive3 states that every drill is adjusted so that if it is too easy players are challenged, and if it is too difficult the staff breaks down the skill on the player’s level, and the program is described as trusted by “Basketball’s 1%.”
