The Story BehindBetterU Basketball
A Denver-area training program built by a current NAIA athlete on a modern, evidence-based approach — small-sided games and live game scenarios that translate directly to real performance.
Meet Coach Ian McKibben
I'm a current college athlete with 3 years of experience at that level, and I've been coaching for 3 years as well, working with players from elementary through high school. I focus on modern, evidence based training, using small sided games and live game scenarios, to help athletes actually translate skills to real game situations and keep improving year after year. My coaching philosophy is based on using small sided games and the constraints led approach to develop adaptable and prepared athletes. I prioritize training in live, competitive environments against real defenders to ensure skills translate directly to game situations. By creating challenging and unique environments, I encourage players to think, make decisions, and perform with freedom, helping them build confidence and creativity on the court.
