Chasing the Best Version of Self
Basketball is our vehicle.
Character is our destination.
Our Purpose
Basketball Is What We Do.
People Are Why We Do It.
We believe every practice, every conversation, every challenge, and every success is another opportunity to become a little better than yesterday. That is the chase.
The Chase
Five principles.
One journey.
Believe
Everything begins with believing that a better version of yourself is possible.
Commit
Growth requires showing up, especially on the days you don’t feel like it.
Grow
The goal isn’t to stay comfortable. The goal is to become.
Serve
The strongest people lift others with them.
Chase
Becoming your best self isn’t a destination. It’s a lifelong pursuit.
Why I Coach
In my early years, I didn’t understand why.
I just coached because I felt a calling.
Now I understand.
I am in love with helping people find the Best Version of Themselves.
Through basketball, we learn the value of Gratitude, Obligation, and Fun. These are just a few of the many principles that, once we discover them, stay with us for a lifetime.
That is why BVOS exists.
Not to help young people become something they’re not, but to help them discover who they are capable of becoming.
Every athlete’s journey is different. Every athlete’s story is different. But every athlete deserves someone who believes in them, challenges them, and reminds them to keep chasing.
I hope you’ll join us.
— Coach Jeffrey Cooks
Who We Chase With
Nobody becomes the Best Version of Themselves alone.
We chase with parents who believe before anyone else does.
We chase with teammates who celebrate our successes and challenge us to grow.
We chase with coaches who expect more because they know we’re capable of more.
We chase with teachers, mentors, volunteers, and friends who remind us who we are when we forget.
We chase with a community that understands the journey is bigger than basketball.
What It Looks Like
