Vision

Coach Mike Fariss designed FirstCoach.In as a U.S. tax-exempt non-profit organization that connects a global network of partners who equip and empower the world’s next generation of developmental basketball coaches.

The first coach who trains a child receives valuable opportunities to shape his or her future successes in sports and life.  Regarding sports, the first coach can introduce foundational skills with correct “muscle-memories,” a positive player-coach relationship, and helpful parental support.  These dynamics are well-known success factors in athletic development.  For this reason, USA Basketball emphasizes them in its Player Development Curriculum.  Likewise, the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) promotes Mini Basketball programs to give children this foundation.  Also,  3Dimensional Coaching addresses how effective coaching may benefit every area of a young person’s life.  FirstCoach.In invites you to combine these training resources and equip the next generation of developmental coaches.

FirstCoach.In sees coaches, corporations, non-profit organizations, sports academies, and schools around the world joining together as partners to train developmental coaches who serve children with excellence.  Using USA Basketball’s online resources combined with 3Dimensional Coaching’s principles, FirstCoach.In supports coaches training through networking, mentoring, on-site demonstrations, consulting, and webinars.
