OUR TRAINING METHODOLOGY
At MAD Performance, we draw inspiration from two of the most successful basketball training systems in the world: European and American methodologies. From Europe, we adopt a structured, skill-centric approach that emphasises fundamentals, basketball IQ, and team-oriented play. European training is renowned for its focus on teaching players the "correct way" to play—mastering precise footwork, passing, and decision-making from an early age. We instill these principles in our beginners, ensuring they build a strong foundation that lasts a lifetime.
From the American system, we incorporate the intensity, athleticism, and competitive edge that define its training culture. American methods prioritize challenging, high-energy sessions that push physical limits through strength conditioning, speed drills, and one-on-one skill development. Our advanced players thrive in these intense environments, designed to simulate the demands of elite competition and foster resilience under pressure.
By blending these philosophies, we create a hybrid training system that’s both technically rigorous and physically demanding. Our sessions are designed to challenge every athlete—beginners learn the game the right way, while seasoned players are pushed to refine their skills and elevate their performance.
