PACESETTER BASKETBALL TESTIMONIALS
|
" Having been an assistant coach at all levels; high school, college, and professional with over 20 years experience, I have seen many coaches work out players. I can truly state with confidence that Coach Waring’s knowledge of the game of basketball and his ability to teach the game in an environment that promotes learning is not only refreshing to witness, but his methodology gets results. As a DI assistant coach, I know that any player that comes out of Coach Waring’s program will be skilled, disciplined, and motivated to reach whatever goal that particular athlete may have. I give Coach Waring’s program the highest recommendation to any athlete and parents of athletes who want to see their daughter not only become a more skilled basketball player, but more importantly, an enriched individual."
"Coach Waring is an outstanding basketball trainer who has taught me the game well, explaining why things happen and then providing me with drills to make me a better player. In the three years I have been working with him, he's pushed me to reach my full potential as a player and definitely helped me with my shot by teaching me the 2-foot jump stop technique. His workouts are hard, but in a good way - it's drill after drill with many aspects to them and he get's you in great condition".
"Without Coach Waring's help, support, and coaching, I would never have become a Division 1 basketball player. He not only gave me a better understanding of the game, but all of my skills improved and that allowed me to become a better team player. Mentally, I became a much better player because he helped me become a more confident player, sure of myself and my talent. Each one of his workouts are of the highest quality improving your ball-handling skills, shooting, and reacting to game-like situations. They have been excellent for getting me in top basketball shape and improving my endurance and strength. Coach Waring cares for the players he works with and knows how to push them to become the best players they can be, while teaching them life-long lessons that come with how to act both on the court and off. For the past three years I have watched him work with all different kinds of players and his success rate is phenomenal".
"Since I've started working with Coach Waring, my ball-handling and shooting skills have improved dramatically. I have so much more confidence in dribbling the ball while at the same time seeing the court better which has helped my passing. My jump shot has become much more consistent from working on the two-foot jump stop technique. Doing the college level drills, I feel I have improved all aspects of my game and increased my endurance. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with him and see how much more I can elevate my game."
"The first time Coach Waring saw me in my junior year, I was a 6'3 post player who could not handle the basketball, had a horrible jump shot, and knew only four post moves, two on either side of the paint. Now because of him, I have the ability to dribble like a guard, learned the two-foot jump stop shot making me a good perimeter shooter, and learned vital post moves and their counter moves. Coach Waring sees the potential in players and provides them with skilled workouts needed to get them playing their best. He is a great coach who will work you hard, build your skill level, help you become physically and mentally stronger, and give you the confidence you need to become a great player. Without Coach Waring, I would not be at the Division 1 collegiate level. Even my college coaches tell me that I have been well-coached, which I give all the credit to him for"
"Coach Waring is an
inspirational basketball trainer that lets you know that you can play at
the next level. When I first began working with him, I thought there was
no way I would ever be able to play at the Division 1 level, but my
workouts with him have made me such a better player. I now have a
multi-dimensional game, am in the best shape I've ever been in, and I have
much more confidence when I step on the floor. Before Coach Waring taught
me the two-foot jump stop shot, it took a long time to get my shot off and
the defense could get to me. Now, I get my shot off so much faster, and I
can do more after catching the ball. Coach Waring can help other players
reach their goals because he helps them in the areas he knows they need to
work on in order to reach the next level, and his conditioning will help
them perform better and longer, not allowing them to tire during a
game"

"Coach Waring has been a huge mentor in my life, not only in basketball, but for me growing into the person I am today. He helped me work on the mental part of my game, and understanding the importance of that alone changed the way I play more than anyone can imagine. In addition to that, my shot, ball-handling, and defense improved more than I can even explain. And helped me to realize how much you can disrupt your opponent just by stepping in and taking the charge. Since working with Coach Waring, he has kept in constant contact with me to check on how I am doing not only as a player, but a person as well. He is so dedicated to his players, putting in a ridiculous amount of time helping players get better. If it were'nt for Coach Waring I would'nt have been able to get a scholarship to play basketball. He definitely turned me into a complete player and is the best person to work with if you really want to improve your game."
"I'm so fortunate to have been selected into the Pacesetter Basketball program. I would definitely not be where I am today without it and working with Coach Waring. When I first started in the program I had a terrible, slow jump-shot. Coach Waring has worked very hard with me on it, teaching me the two-foot jump stop. It's allowed me to get my shot off so much quicker and help me make my perimeter shots much more consistently. My ball-handling has also improved tremendously. Being a point guard I needed to get quicker with my dribbling and more efficient. I'm much more confident now with the ball. I really love the intensity that he brings to every training session. He has also taught me how the recruiting process works and the things to do to to increase the number of schools recruiting me. He also talks to college coaches on my behalf helping my chances for a scholarship."

"Coach Waring was the reason I received a Division 1 basketball scholarship. Under his tutelage, I was able to take my game to a whole new level, mentally and physically. His intense workouts with me consisted of on-the-court drills addressing all aspects of the game: ball-handling, shooting, conditioning, defense, rebounding, and then, putting it all together to make me a complete player. Coach Waring's patience, disipline, and knowledge of the game make him the premiere teacher in women's basketball, and I honestly believe that any good player working with him will become a great player"
"Having coached girls basketball for twenty
years, I'm still amazed at how much more I have to learn. This has
certainly held true after watching Coach Waring's workouts and practices
for the past two years. John has transformed decent basketball players
into Division 1 type caliber athletes. His program does not waste one
minute and is the most effective training that I have seen. He has
definitely taken players' games to the next level. As a coach, I have
implemented over thirty of his drills into my high school program. As a
parent, I know my daughter will get an intense workout and will only get
better with his training techniques. The area that impresses me the most
is his passion for basketball and his teaching of the game. It takes an
undying passion and commitment to make a difference in the lives of young
female athletes and John has that passion. This and his knowledge of the
game are what seperate Coach Waring from other coaches. Simply put, John's
training methods are the best and most complete I have ever encountered.
If you or your daughter are serious about improving her skills as a
basketball player, I would highly recommend Coach Waring's
program".
"I have known Coach Waring for the past eight
years and I have the utmost respect for what he is doing for women's
basketball. John is not only a great family man, but also a constant
teacher of the game. I truly enjoy watching him teach the game of
basketball, as I always go away learning something new. As an assistant
coach at University of Wisconsin, our program looks to recruit the players
in Coach Waring's program year in and year out. We feel by getting a
player from his program, they will be ready to step onto a Division 1
court right away and be successful. Just knowing Coach Waring has made me
a better coach and a better person."
"Coach Waring has developed my game on so many different levels. Being selected into the Pacesetter Basketball program as a sophomore, I struggled with the mental aspect of the game. Not only did he help improve my confidence, he improved my mental toughness as well. As a 6'2" post player, he has made me into a much more versatile player, improving my ballhandling, my footwork, teaching me to shoot out of a two-foot jump stop, and really improving my conditioning. Without the program, I don't think I would be as ready to play at the D1 level as I am now. Pacesetter Basketball is by far the best training program in the Midwest, and the players who get the opportunity to train with Coach Waring are on a completely different level than other high school players. It's been an honor to be part of the program and I have developed great lessons and friendships that I would not have found anywhere else." Leslie Schaefer
