Tough Minded Training Philosophy

“Carter is an elite educator and well versed in the nuances of winning basketball and a growth oriented mindset. He is a rare mix of dependability, accessibility, positive energy and patience. He is committed to excellence on the court and the life lessons available through daily attention and effort. I am so happy my son is training with Carter and I recommend him wholeheartedly.”

“Coach Carter is an amazing coach. He is organized, highly knowledgeable, and actively listens to his students. He has been my son’s coach for 3 years. In all these years, we have seen a vast improvement in his confidence, offensive, and has made a positive impact on Jake’s life on and off the court. Coach Carter is extremely relatable, professional, and effective with all his students. His sessions are highly valuable, and he is able to depict weaknesses to work on just by observing. He is always open and available for parents for any concerns regarding your student. He is highly recommended! Proven results on and off the court.”

“Tough Minded Training and Carter James, have helped grow my game to heights I wouldn’t be able to achieve on my own. I’ve worked with Carter since 7th grade and his IQ along with the personalized workouts he puts into each athlete is second to none and you can’t find that many places else. He pushes me to my limits every workout and helps better my abilities on the court through understanding and skill development. His attention to detail as well is extreme and is exactly what you want in any trainer you’re putting your trust into when trying to become better.”
