This week's episode of @Notevend2 features professional trainer, Mitchell Kirsch. Mitchell has grown into one of the top trainers in the North East- specifically in his home state, New Hampshire. Mitchell has changed the culture of training within basketball by using the constrain-led and skill acquisition approach during his training sessions.
Kirsch started his college career in California where he attended Claremont-Mudd Scripps. After four years of basketball playing for the Stags, he transferred to Babson College. A successful college career opened opportunities for Mitchell to play professionally overseas in Columbia.
A short overseas career led Mitch to get into the player development field. His evidence based trainings became the lead method in the state of New Hampshire. Mitchell now trains players at all levels, including NBA players like Duncan Robinson, Terrance Mann, and Georges Niang.
Hear about Kirsch's career getting into player development, what made him adapt the constraint-led approach, and how it feels having changed the New Hampshire hoop scene.
