In this solo episode of the By Any Means Coaches Podcast, Coleman Ayers breaks down the concept of nonlinear pedagogy, reframed as the nonlinear progression model, and explains why learning, development, and skill acquisition in basketball are rarely clean, linear processes. Drawing from research across sport, education, and motor learning, Coleman challenges the traditional “start simple and build up” mindset and makes the case for starting closer to (or slightly above) an athlete's true challenge point to accelerate learning and improve transfer to the game.Through practical basketball-specific examples like shooting footwork, ball screen decision-making, warmups, and youth development, Coleman explains how nonlinear structure and nonlinear progress work together. He outlines why struggle is not only acceptable but necessary, how regressions should often replace progressions, and why coaches must reframe expectations around visible improvement. The episode closes with actionable rules of thumb to help coaches design more efficient, engaging, and game-representative training environments.Timestamps:00:01 – Introduction to nonlinear pedagogy and why learning isn't linear 01:28 – Nonlinear structure vs. nonlinear progress explained 02:39 – Traditional linear progressions and why they fall short 04:08 – Starting with difficulty and regressing instead of building up 05:09 – Inefficiency of linear models and wasted training time 06:32 – Engagement, autonomy, and mental toughness benefits 07:14 – Giving athletes time to struggle and self-organize 08:28 – Why linear progressions don't transfer well to games 09:13 – Addressing concerns about bad habits and technique 10:58 – Confidence, psychological momentum, and game reality 11:50 – Example: shooting footwork and nonlinear application 13:00 – Example: handling aggressive ball screen coverages 15:19 – Starting live, then regressing with purpose 16:05 – Rules of thumb: start 10% harder, regress more than progress 17:25 – Finding challenge in warmups 18:41 – Whole–part–whole and play–drill–play frameworks 20:27 – When it makes sense to start simple 22:01 – Youth development, experimentation, and learning windows 24:25 – Advanced challenges making basic skills easier 26:34 – Nonlinear progress and managing expectations 28:00 – Spacing, consolidation, and why breaks matter 30:30 – Final takeaways on embracing the chaos of learningCoaching Resources: https://www.byanymeanscoaches.comBAM Blueprint Book: https://www.byanymeanscoaches.com/modern-basketball-blueprintIf this episode challenged the way you think about player development, be sure to check out the By Any Means Coaches Certification and Coleman's book, The Modern Basketball Blueprint, where these concepts are explored in much greater depth.

In this episode of the By Any Means Coaches Podcast, Coleman Ayers breaks down what creativity actually is—and more importantly, how coaches can systematically develop it. Rather than treating creativity as an innate talent or mysterious gift, the episode reframes it as a skill rooted in deep understanding, problem-solving, and exposure to diverse ideas. Through personal experience, coaching education, and the constraints-led approach, Coleman outlines why creativity is best built on strong foundations of knowledge, curiosity, and intentional learning.The episode also explores practical ways coaches can unlock creativity in their daily work: aligning with the right people, starting with clear end goals, using constraints to force innovation, and diversifying how they think both inside and outside of basketball. From studying other sports and disciplines to embracing feedback and removing the fear of judgment, this conversation offers a framework for coaches who want to move beyond recycled drills and begin creating more adaptive, engaging, and effective learning environments.Episode Timestamps00:00 – Introduction and why creativity matters in coaching 00:51 – Why creativity is hard to explain but critical to develop 01:49 – Balancing practical takeaways with deeper education 02:38 – Creativity as intelligence having fun 03:26 – The role of learning and foundational knowledge 04:11 – The danger of creativity without understanding 04:54 – Letting intelligence “have fun” 05:28 – Aligning with creative people and environments 06:45 – Avoiding fixed-mindset coaching circles 07:42 – How collaboration sparks new ideas 08:47 – Learning from different thinking styles 09:35 – Don't fear judgment or “bad” ideas 10:03 – Starting with the end goal, not the drill 10:45 – Working backward to design better solutions 11:48 – Why many creative drills miss the real problem 12:30 – Using the constraints-led approach for coach development 13:09 – Practical constraint examples for coaches 13:39 – How natural constraints build adaptability 14:34 – Applying lessons from travel and unfamiliar environments 15:07 – Training coaches the same way we train players 15:53 – Creating just to be creative 16:43 – Coach-to-coach experimentation sessions 17:19 – Exploring safely within trusted environments 17:57 – Avoiding stagnation with long-term athletes 18:24 – Diversifying your mind beyond basketball 19:43 – Learning through conversation and observation 20:24 – Watching basketball through a creative lens 21:11 – Studying different levels and styles of play 22:07 – Learning from other sports and disciplines 23:44 – Blending artistic and scientific thinking 24:46 – Systemizing creativity without killing it 25:55 – Fear of judgment as a creativity killer 26:24 – Owning ideas and building confidence 27:46 – Creating buy-in and embracing feedback 28:24 – Asking others to critique and improve your work 29:18 – Final thoughts on innovation and creative growthCoaching Resources: https://www.byanymeansbasketball.comBAM Blueprint Book: https://www.byanymeansbasketball.com/bam-blueprintIf this episode challenged the way you think about creativity as a coach, share it with someone who's stuck recycling the same drills.

In this week's basketball coaching conversation, By Any Means Basketball founder Coleman Ayers joins the Basketball Podcast to share insights on reengineering player development.Coleman Ayers is the founder of By Any Means Basketball, a global training and media organization dedicated to player development. Launching the brand as a high schooler in Washington, D.C., Coleman turned his passion for skill acquisition and research-backed training into a worldwide movement. After finishing his playing career at St. John's College High School, he chose to forgo college basketball opportunities and moved to Miami, studied exercise physiology, and began working with players of all levels while building a reputation for blending science, creativity, and culture into modern basketball development.Coleman's approach emphasizes holistic development—integrating psychology, movement science, and global basketball philosophies to create adaptable, high-IQ players. His DETAIL Miami facility serves as a hub for elite training, while his educational platforms, including the Attention to Detail podcast, share insights with coaches and players worldwide. Having worked with athletes in over 35 countries and collaborated with NBA talent, Coleman continues to push boundaries in player development. He is also the co-founder of ADAPT Academy.Both of his books, Deep Skill and the Modern Basketball Blueprint, reached number one in Amazon's basketball category.

In this episode of the BAM Coaches Podcast, Tyler Clark, Alex Silva and Coleman Ayers host an open group discussion with coaches from the BAM community - diving into real-world challenges, questions, and reflections around some of the most common mistakes made when putting together small sided games and designing practices.The conversation explores what coaches are currently wrestling with in their own environments—from practice design and communication to confidence, leadership, and navigating uncertainty early in the coaching journey. Rather than presenting a polished lecture, this episode captures the raw thinking process of coaches learning together, sharing experiences, and refining ideas in real time.This episode highlights the value of community-driven learning, where coaches are encouraged to ask better questions, challenge assumptions, and grow through dialogue rather than answers alone. It's a reminder that coaching development doesn't happen in isolation—and that meaningful growth often comes from conversation, not content.Episode Breakdown & Timestamps00:00 – Introduction & Setting the Discussion 03:40 – Why Group Conversations Matter for Coaches 07:10 – Common Challenges Coaches Are Facing Right Now 12:30 – Feeling Lost Early in the Coaching Journey 18:20 – Developing Confidence Without All the Answers 23:45 – Learning Through Experience vs Information 28:10 – Asking Better Questions as a Coach 33:30 – Communication, Clarity, and Player Buy-In 39:15 – Balancing Structure and Freedom in Practice 44:50 – The Role of Failure in Coach Development 50:30 – Community, Mentorship, and Shared Learning 57:40 – Takeaways for Coaches at Any Level 1:04:30 – Closing Thoughts & Next Steps3️⃣ Resources, Next Steps & Call to Action

In this episode of the BAM Coaches Podcast, Tyler Clark and Coleman Ayers sit down with Joerik Michiels for a wide-ranging conversation on coaching, entrepreneurship, learning, and personal evolution.Joerik shares his journey from building one of the first player development academies in Belgium to eventually walking away from multiple businesses in pursuit of freedom, alignment, and life quality. The conversation moves fluidly between gratitude practices, cultural differences in ambition, ego versus confidence in coaching, and what truly defines a great coach at different levels of the game.From practice design and skill acquisition to consistency, impostor syndrome, and becoming a “chef” rather than a “cook” as a coach, this episode offers deep insights for coaches who want to grow—not just technically, but as humans. It's a reflective, honest conversation that challenges traditional ideas about success, development, and what it means to truly love the process.Episode Breakdown & Timestamps00:00 – Intro & Catching Up 05:50 – Starting the Conversation Through Personal Reflection 07:45 – Gratitude as a Daily Practice 10:00 – Walking Away From a Facility After 12 Years 12:45 – Freedom, Entrepreneurship, and Life Quality 14:40 – Cultural Differences: Ambition in Europe vs USA 16:10 – Being a Trailblazer & Dealing With Resistance 18:40 – Ego, Vulnerability, and Building Bridges 22:20 – Intangible Qualities of Great Coaches 24:20 – Transactional vs Transformational Coaching 26:30 – Coaching Youth the Right Way 28:40 – Impostor Syndrome & Consistency Over Time 31:30 – Learning From Others: Cook vs Chef Mentality 35:20 – Imitate, Then Innovate 37:10 – How Coaches Identify What “Works” 40:20 – Science vs Instinct in Coaching 44:45 – Designing Practices That Challenge Players 48:20 – Gold & Silver Topics in Skill Development 55:00 – Confidence, Struggle, and Learning Transfer 59:30 – Making Practice Fun Again 1:02:30 – Final Reflections on Coaching & Growth

In this episode of the BAM Coaches Podcast, Coleman Ayers walks through a thought experiment: how he would design and run an entire country's basketball federation if it were built around ecological dynamics, skill acquisition, and long-term athlete development.Drawing from experiences working in over 35 countries, Coleman explores how culture, environment, and structure shape the way athletes learn the game. The episode covers everything from offseason competition models and facility access to coach education, talent identification, and making basketball culturally relevant for young athletes.Rather than focusing on tactics or systems, this conversation centers on building better environments—ones that produce adaptable, skilled players while also developing better humans. While the framework is presented at a national level, Coleman emphasizes how coaches and clubs can implement many of these ideas immediately within their own programs.Episode Breakdown & Timestamps00:00 – Introduction & Framing the Thought Experiment 01:15 – What a Basketball Federation Is (and Why It Matters) 02:11 – Why Centralized Systems Shape Player Development 03:15 – A Club-Based 3x3 Offseason Season 04:12 – Why 3x3 Is an Elite Development Tool 04:49 – Real-World Results from 3v3 & 3x3 Leagues 05:41 – The Power of Role Models in Player Development 06:11 – Connecting Elite Players Back to Youth Systems 07:35 – Integrating U18, U21, and Pro Teams 08:37 – Facility Access & Improving Outdoor Courts 10:40 – Rest, Play, and the Importance of Being a Kid 11:32 – Encouraging Outdoor Pickup Culture 11:57 – Requiring Multi-Sport Participation Until Age 13 14:10 – Cultural Exchange & Playing Outside Your Bubble 16:18 – Humility, Exposure, and Accurate Self-Assessment 17:14 – Rethinking Coaches' Education 19:37 – Developing Young Coaches & Coaching Pathways 20:30 – Holistic Athlete Development Beyond Basketball 22:32 – Making Basketball Cool Through Media & Storytelling 24:27 – Rethinking Talent Identification 25:37 – Delaying Selection & Avoiding Early Burnout 27:08 – Final Thoughts & Practical Takeaways for Coaches3️⃣ Resources, Next Steps & Call to Action

In this episode of the BAM Coaches Podcast, we break down a simple but powerful framework for evaluating, building, and teaching offense in basketball.Coleman Ayers introduces a three-part lens: advantage creation, advantage maintenance, and advantage finishing to help coaches cut through the chaos of offensive evaluation. Instead of getting lost in systems, sets, or play calls, this framework allows coaches to clearly identify where their offense is breaking down and why.The episode dives into practical coaching applications, including how individual skill, spacing, decision-making, and small-sided games all play a role in creating efficient offense. Coleman also explains how this same framework can be flipped defensively, giving coaches a universal tool for both ends of the floor.Episode Breakdown & Timestamps00:00 – Introduction & Episode Framing 01:55 – The Advantage Framework Explained 03:39 – Using the Coach's Eye vs. Data 04:20 – Advantage Creation: Putting the Defense in Panic Mode 05:46 – Advantage Maintenance: Keeping the Dominoes Falling 07:22 – Individual Skill as an Advantage Killer 09:00 – Advantage Finishing: Shot Selection & Shot Making 10:00 – Identifying the Real Rate Limiter in Your Offense 12:14 – Building Advantage Creation in Practice 15:07 – Transition as an Advantage Creation Tool 17:21 – Why Teams Lose Advantages 21:17 – Training Advantage Finishing the Right Way 23:14 – Flipping the Framework Defensively 26:27 – Final Thoughts & Wrap-Up

Most players and coaches think in-season development means one of two things:Either you don't train at all,Or you train the same way you do in the off-season… just shorter.We believe there's a different approach. In this episode, we break down how to actually plan in-season player development to move the needle.Instead of generic workouts, intensity guesses, or “feel-good reps,” we walk through a simple but powerful readiness framework that helps you decide what to train, how hard, and how much, based on the athlete in front of you.Want to Go Deeper?A ton of what we talked about today connects directly to the ideas inside The Modern Basketball Blueprint, my new book.If you're a coach who wants to bridge science, movement, decision-making, and practical training, this book lays out the full framework.Grab your copy here → www.byanymeanscoaches.com/blueprintIf you found this valuable:Share the episode with a coach who'd benefit from building better, more efficient in-season workoutsSubscribe so you don't miss the next deep diveScreenshot and tag us on IG so we can repost you

Coleman and Tyler take a look into how Coleman built the exact philosophies that you can read about in his book, there's so much to learn from someones journey and their experiences.Coleman is a trailblazer in the player development space, he's forged his own path and didn't necessarily follow the traditional: play, intern as a rebounder/passer/defender, assistant coach and then finally start to create your own path. He's been creating his own path since he was 16. This book is a culmination of all of his experimentation, trials and tribulations, the lessons he's learned, the researched he's done, the knowledge he's gathered and so on. One of the coolest aspects that separates Coleman is his vast experience amongst a plethora of different cultures across the entire globe - this has helped shape him as a coach, person, etc. We touch on what the CLA has meant for him, how important it is and also a little about what the future holds. Lastly we cover his performance background and why it's so important to at least know enough to be dangerous if you want to truly build an athlete in a holistic manner. There's so much more that we couldn't cover, however, that's why there's a book! This was an appetizer, make sure to go check out the 'The Modern Basketball Blueprint' as well as his first book 'Deep Skill', links are below.The Modern Basketball Blueprint: https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Basketball-Blueprint-Holistic-Adaptable/dp/B0G34LSST6Deep Skill: https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Skill-Basketball-Understanding-Developing/dp/B0CP4GZKX7/ref=pd_lpo_d_sccl_1/130-0831915-3598138?pd_rd_w=cAgDr&content-id=amzn1.sym.4c8c52db-06f8-4e42-8e56-912796f2ea6c&pf_rd_p=4c8c52db-06f8-4e42-8e56-912796f2ea6c&pf_rd_r=D99MQQ52JSXZDEBWYCAK&pd_rd_wg=XaRpY&pd_rd_r=fb09e7d5-a018-4448-b29a-8fb9b38de40d&pd_rd_i=B0CP4GZKX7&psc=1Make sure to check us out on all social media as well:YT: https://www.youtube.com/@ByAnyMeansCoachesIG: https://www.instagram.com/byanymeanscoaches/

Whether you've got the degrees or you're self-taught, we break down what it really takes to become a trusted authority in your field.From the importance of testimonials and reviews to how storytelling and teaching at scale build credibility, this episode is packed with insights for young professionals who want to stand out—not just look the part. We also highlight real-world examples like Andy Chen and Coleman Ayers, who prove that learning never stops, and blending science with skill is an art.This episode will push you to think differently about expertise—and maybe even level up yourself.

Coleman Ayers of By Any Means Basketball is a force. He's smart, he's researched, he's creative and has a desire to keep learning. I think he's one of the best skills trainers out there right now just because of how well researched he is in how athletes learn and how they move, but also how well he communicates those ideas. This is a great episode for coaches of all levels.

Different format to this weeks episode: I'm joined by Coleman Ayers, Gabe Macias, Dario Saisan, Martin Andrade and Danny Metser to talk about some really interesting topicsSome of the things we discuss were: psychological stressors and the effects they have on things like free throw shooting, finding alternative consequences to physical punishment (running, push-ups, etc), what is the "it" factor in players - where does it comes from, the different styles/subcultures in basketball depending on where you are in the world geographically I enjoyed this episode a lot because everyone of these guys are super open minded and extremely intelligent when it comes to basketball skill development, performance and a lot more.

Tyler Leclerc still vividly remembers the day he decided to drop out of college to pursue basketball training. He was listening to a business professor who hadn't ever run a company and realized that he could learn everything he needed in the real world. So he walked away from school and went all-in. An internship with Drew Hanlen and hours of diligent study, while working at a golf course, helped Tyler develop his own unique methodology. At the same time, he continued training young players, as he had been since he was a junior in high school. At a pivotal point in his journey, Tyler decided to buy his own gym in Lowell, Massachusetts after new ownership of the facility he was using decided to raise his rates. He hung tough during the pandemic, driving to and from clients' houses when he had to close his new facility due to state regulations temporarily. Since then, TJL Training has come on strong, and Tyler teamed up with Coleman Ayers to create Mastery Hoops. In this episode, Tyler shares:How he overcame other people's doubts after dropping out of college at the end of his freshman yearWhy he ‘burned the boats' to force his training business to succeedHow players can develop balance in unbalanced situations and learn to make better readsWhat he does to deliberately make athletes struggle so that they strengthen their skillsWhich decision-making filters he uses to grow his company and find new opportunities Train with Tyler in person or remotely through his website, follow him on Instagram, and learn more about Mastery Hoops on their Instagram feed.

Tyler is an incredible mind in the training space, in my opinion him and Coleman Ayers are on the brink of something huge in the field. He's at the forefront of a much needed and very necessary shift in the training world.Tyler breakdowns his training philosophies (games-based/constraints-led approach), why he believes in what he does so much, why it makes sense, and how to apply it as well. What's great about Tyler is that he always has his receipts ready, he doesn't just do things to do them. His craft is backed by a lot of science, and it shows.At 23 he's done a great job in this community, he opened his own gym in Lowell Mass (TJL Training) a couple years ago now which he's been training out of as well as creating a solid following on social media. He has multiple programs and an online academy for those interested. He helped put on, in my opinion, the biggest conference within the basketball world back in October in Miami. The second conference will be this April 2 & 3, along with that he has even more in the works. He hasn't grazed the surface yet, I'm beyond happy to have a relationship with him and to have gotten him on the podcast.He puts out so much free content that's really game changing between his instagram and youtube, for even more (and at more depth) check out him and Colemans platform 'Mastery Hoops' which I'll link below.  Tyler's stuff:Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/c/TylerLeclercInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/tjltraining/Mastery Hoops - https://www.masteryhoops.com/
