Joerik Michiels: Ultimate Coaches Development Guide

MY GOAL WITH THE COACHES DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM:

Over the past 15 years running Elite Athletes, I’ve kept detailed notes on everything I’ve learned—whether from books, clinics, podcasts, social media posts, conversations with coaches, observing practices, or meetings with entrepreneurs.

One goal I’ve always had is to create a coaches' development program that goes beyond just X’s and O’s. While we still dive deep into basketball fundamentals, strategies, and skills, my vision is to build a comprehensive program that also explores personal development, mindset, relationships, building culture, and tackling the challenges of coaching and life—topics that are often not openly discussed.

After 15 years, it feels like the right time to bring this idea to life. I reviewed hundreds of pages of notes, categorizing insights into key topics. While I’m still learning every day, this project feels like a summary of my life’s work: sharing everything I’ve learned about the game and about life.

For me, the two go hand in hand. I wanted to create a guide that is simple, approachable, and impactful.

My hope is that this guide will inspire your coaching journey as much as the process has shaped mine!
