It’s February in Kirkland. The weather’s moody, your kid’s attention span is shorter than the month itself, and everyone’s talking about love. Love songs. Love letters. Love-themed desserts. Cute, right?
But here’s a radical thought: what if your athlete loved their jumper as much as they love sleeping in on weekends?
What if, this February, we shifted the focus from candy hearts to clean follow-throughs? From romantic playlists to reliable mid-range pull-ups?
Welcome to “Love Your Jumper” Month at EBC Training Centers, where we’re helping players of all levels sharpen their shot, elevate their confidence, and finally answer the question: Why do I keep shooting like I’m afraid of success?
Let’s Talk About Your Jumper (It Needs Attention)
Look, we get it. Shooting is personal. It's that one part of the game that everyone thinks they're good at, until the scoreboard says otherwise.
You can feel when it’s off. It’s like trying to open a bag of chips quietly in a silent classroom—you think it’s going well until it all falls apart.
This month, we’re breaking it down to build it up. We’re addressing:
Inconsistent form that flattens under pressure
Poor footwork that turns jumpers into jumping jacks
Shot selection (because fading away from a 6th grader who’s 4'8" is unnecessary)
Mental focus—how to stay confident when the first two shots bounce like pinballs
Because here’s the truth: no one falls in love with their jumper until they trust it.
What EBC Is Running This February
You know us—we’re not big on fluff. Our February programming is all about efficient, effective, feel-good reps. Think Valentine’s vibes, but with more sweat and zero roses.
🏀 Precision Shooting Clinics
Our specialty sessions focus on:
Release mechanics and muscle memory
Range building (step by step—not chucking from half court for TikTok)
Repetition under fatigue to simulate real-game conditions
Catch-and-shoot and off-the-dribble reps
Because if you're only good when you're wide open and emotionally stable, you're not ready.
🎯 Shooting Games & Scoring Challenges
We make the grind fun with:
King of the Key
Knockout (with rules that actually teach spacing and shot timing)
Beat the Coach: hit more shots or do more burpees—it’s simple math
Every rep has a purpose. Every drill has a goal. And yes, we keep score. Because you should know if your shot's actually working.
🧠 Confidence, Focus & Flow
Shooting is mental. No, not like "my kid yelled at the ball" mental. We mean decision-making, consistency, and pressure management.
We incorporate:
Mindset coaching with tools from Graham Betchart
Visualization and goal-setting exercises
Identifying habits that sabotage performance
If your shot falls apart when someone yells, “Shooter!”—this part’s for you.
Who Should Join the Love Fest?
✔️ Beginners who’ve never been taught proper shooting mechanics
✔️ Intermediate players looking to increase range and efficiency
✔️ Advanced athletes preparing for spring and summer tournaments
✔️ Players who’ve been ghosted by their jump shot and need closure
We group players by age and skill level so nobody feels out of place, and everyone gets better.
Bonus: Valentine’s Week Fun
We're embracing the theme, just enough to make it memorable without getting weird.
💘 “Love Your Jumper” Shooting Challenge
Sink five in a row and win Valentine’s treats (and possibly some street cred).
💔 Broken Jumper Boot Camp
For players who know their shot needs saving—we’ll rebuild from the ground up. With love. And sweat.
🎁 Candy? Yes. Conditioning? Also yes.
Because the only thing sweeter than chocolate is a made three in transition.

Why This Month Matters
Let’s not kid ourselves. February’s that weird part of the year where momentum stalls. Players either step forward—or fade until spring.
And coaches? They notice.
They remember who came back sharper. Who kept working.
Who used February as an opportunity, not a vacation.
So don’t wait until the next tryout to fix your shot. Don’t hope it “just gets better.” Train it. Trust it. Love it.
Because when you love your jumper, the game loves you back. 💘🏀
