SUCCESS STORIES

MATT LINT

A shift in perspective to instill confidence in players and become a servant leader.

Coach Matt Lint has a remarkable background in coaching, with 30+ years of experience in multiple countries. Today, he’s the General Manager of the North Canterbury Basketball Association in New Zealand (a program with 80 teams)—and attributes his growth to PGC Coaching.

Bill Earley

Coaching at a level greater than X’s and O’s.

Coach Bill Earley has been a girl’s youth basketball coach for 4 years, and like many others, jumped in to coach his daughter. With a background in law and business leadership, Bill’s guiding principle expands far beyond X’s and O’s. Instead, he focuses on instilling success in others, fully understanding that by doing so, his success is guaranteed. Bill’s number one goal is to have a positive impact and with the help of PGC, he’s crushing it.

Received 3 letters from players this year identifying him as a servant leader which both humbled him and touched his heart.
Focuses on impact rather than record—No one remembers the record of a youth basketball season, but the lessons learned carry through on and off the court for a lifetime.
Utilizes the coaching blueprint to focus on the things that build a strong foundation, because without one, it can all come crumbling down.

ERIC FERGUSON

One-win season to a state championship and appearance at regionals–all within a year’s time.

Coach Eric Ferguson fell into coaching with very little basketball experience, just so his daughters could play. Fast forward to today and he’s the Varsity Girls Coach at Pioneer Charter School, and in his own words… “Most of my success as a coach has come from what I learned at PGC.”

Shifted his perspective, allowing himself to lean into PGC Mentors and become coachable by his peers.
Through the PGC practice structure, he’s captured and held player focus and efficiency (kindergarten through high school).
Expanded his program to lower grade levels, increasing the program’s impact on and off the court (postseason emails validate his efforts).

Camille Cox

4th in the Nation as a first-year Varsity Girls High School Coach.

Coach Camille Cox’s journey as a coach started like many others, she stepped up to coach her daughters. Fast forward 8 years and as a first-time girls Varsity High School Coach at Christian Homeschool Sports Ministries, her team finished 4th in the nation. Coach Camille attributes much of her team’s success to NATO—a PGC acronym that means ‘not attached to the outcome.’ She leads her team to focus on what they can control.

Worked to emphasize coaching in a way that will carry through life and impact players on and off the court.
Implemented PGC Coaching methods to make practices more efficient and emulate game-like situations.
Learned to instill a growth mindset in players—The most important thing they can do is grow and improve, everything else will come.

MARK WILENS

Post-Covid lulls to a sectional semi-final appearance.

Coach Mark Wilens was pulled into coaching when his 3rd-grade daughter’s team needed a coach—that was 10 years ago. As the need grew he found himself running the entire program and balancing a busy business career, but his love of the game drove him to follow his passion. Today Mark’s the Varsity Boys Coach at Onteora High School and while PGC has been a huge help on the court, according to Mark, it extends far beyond that.

Committed to building the right culture within his program—He wrote and shared his commitments with his team, worked together to create team standards and goals, and then got to work. The result was a 12-win 3-loss season.
Created a high school travel program that now has 4 teams and competes against the best—They put themselves in a highly competitive environment for the sake of development and growth.
Shifted his language to improve teaching and utilized courses directly from the PGC Coaching library to enhance his systems and strategies.
