Training Philosophy

Skill development is essential but a athlete's psychological makeup can influence that individual in physical activity. Assessing Leadership Characteristics, self-confidence, analyzing goals (intrinsic and extrinsic), and changing from negative to positive self talk are foundations we utilize to improve the psychological makeup of our players. 
 
Our training sessions are intense and made challenging by utilizing game like situations which force players to use multiple skills.  We guarantee that as a parent you will be more than satisfied, and that your scholar will get better if they will commit to the development that is given to them.

If you’re searching for trainers who are building better basketball players and leaders on and off the court, then IBT Academy is for you! We develop!

IBT Academy

IBT Academy is located in Columbus, OH, and originated from two young, inspired coaches who walk in faith. Renny Tyson, Jr. and Lamar Thornton were exhausted by seeing basketball players who did not possess the proper tools to advance their basketball skills on and off the court.  Vital skills needed in order to play successfully at a higher level of intensity.

We train all ages from elementary to professionals, and currently work with many of the top players in the state of Ohio. IBT Academy builds a foundation in each player it trains, and then further develops those players with the ideals and skills needed to progress to play in college. These skills build character on and off the court.  

Our motto is “Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard!". Our only goal is to develop each and every player on and off the basketball court.
