WE ARE DEFINING SPORTS PERFORMANCE
Nobody knows athletes like we do. From the champagne showers of NBA titles, the
immortality of Super Bowl wins, the roar of Indianapolis 500 victories or the glory of Olympic
Gold, St. Vincent Sports Performance takes the best athletes in the world beyond the
boundaries of what the human body can achieve.
The St. Vincent Sports Performance NBA Pre-Draft Training Program helps athletes reach
new heights of strength, agility, balance, endurance, nutrition and speed. Our program will
train you for every facet of preparation necessary to become a successful NBA player. From
specialized training to improve your speed, flexibility, strength and power, to the integration
of nutrition, medicine and psychology.
At St. Vincent Sports Performance, we've trained No. 1 overall picks in the NBA Draft, repeat
NBA Champions, and some of the most dynamic and talented players in all of professional
basketball.
We. Know. Athletes.
“After my Pre-Draft Training at St. Vincent Sports Performance, I tested as
one of the top five athletes at the NBA Pre-Draft Camp. I will always be
thankful to them.”

performance program that helped me during my pre-draft workouts and
solidified my Draft status."

PERFORMANCE COACHING
Head Instructor
Rob
Blackwell
Rob Blackwell is a renowned basketball skills
development trainer who has worked with players at all
levels from around the country. He is returning for his third
year with St. Vincent Sports Performance, where he leads
workouts with NBA Pre-Draft workouts as well as
offseason training with current players, like Gordon
Hayward, Josh McRoberts, Carl Landry and Robbie
Hummel.
Prior to each athlete’s arrival at SVSP, Blackwell performs a
full video and statistical analysis in order to prepare
individualized improvement plans. His experience as
a player, coach and owner gives him an eye for talent
and development, a knack for motivating and teaching, and
ability to evaluate, giving each player a competitive edge.
“Rob connects with each player through his detailed
knowledge of the skills needed to enhance each individual’s
game. I have been overwhelmed with the unsolicited
positive feedback on Rob Blackwell from experienced NBA
players. He exceeds players' and agents' expectations.”
- Ralph Reiff, SVSP Executive Director
On-Court Skills Training
The players who hear their name called at the top of the NBA Draft are the
ones with a properly developed all-around game. Our athletes benefit from
our decades of experience instructing both NBA and NCAA players.
At St. Vincent Sports Performance, we focus on each individual aspect of the
game of basketball to help you become a complete player. Our coaches
incorporate technical and tactical skills to build an athlete's confidence to
make the transition from amateur to professional basketball, with training
focused on improving a player's skills such as:
Shooting Form/Technique - Defense - Offensive Identity - Position-Specific
Skills - One-on-One Game - Court Space Management - Ball Handling Footwork - Defense - Pick and Pop - Pick and Roll - Passing - Transition Game
- Rebounding - Free Throw Shooting - Jump Shooting - At the Rim - Post Play Player-Specific Skills
Speed and Strength Training
We specialize in speed development, flexibility, strength and power. Athletes
in our program gain more explosive power, increase their stamina and improve
specific agility and movement execution. No matter if it's your linear speed,
overall agility, or vertical jump, attention to detail can make the biggest
difference on the stopwatch. We document every aspect of the athlete's
technique, strength, execution and explosion so they can maximize
performance.
Strength training can often be overlooked during preparations for the NBA
Draft. We know that your strength drives the vertical jump, acceleration, and
overall speed required to impress NBA executives. Our weight training will
prepare you for the necessary strength, endurance, and power required to rip
through every test you face.

PERFORMANCE PSYCHOLOGY
Our athletes are composed, focused and mentally tough. To maximize your
opportunity in the NBA Draft you’ll need to be prepared for more than just what
happens on the hardwood of a basketball court. NBA coaches and scouts
analyze one-on-one interviews and group media sessions the same way they
scrutinize your jumpshot. St. Vincent Sports Performance will help you score
with NBA executives when you’re nowhere near a hoop.
We maximize your performance when the pressure is on. Through personal
consultations, small-group educational workshops, and neuropsychological
testing, our athletes are able to gain an edge on the competition when they’re
off the court. At St. Vincent Sports Performance, we work on developing a
complete athlete who can handle all the challenges of life in the NBA.

PERFORMANCE MEDICINE
St. Vincent Sports Performance has been recognized nationally for our
exceptional performance medicine services. Our team of certified athletic
trainers, physical therapists, massage therapists, and sports medicine
physicians work tirelessly to keep our athletes performing at an optimal level
during the training process.
Our physicians have over 20 years of combined experience in professional
sports. That experience allows them to identify and address potential medical
“red flags” before the start of summer workouts, and gives you ample time to
address those concerns before they ever come to the attention of NBA
personnel. We are able to recognize and address restrictions and imbalances
during the training program, and provide athletes with unparalleled hands-on
individualized treatment plans.
PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGY
Noah Basketball offers the only basketball shooting aid that can correctly
measure the arc and depth of every shot taken while providing instant feedback
to the shooter. This instant feedback allows immediate adaptability and
correction to the shot, building muscle memory and confidence within the
shooter.
Using the Noah Basketball system will not affect the way you currently
practice and can be used with multiple teams. It is not just another basketball
shooting aid, but a personal coach that builds shooting improvements in both
teams and individuals.
Synergy Sports Technology allows you to look up teams and players when
executing plays like post-ups, pick and rolls, isolations, off screens, spot-ups,
transitions and more. It sorts video for shot attempts such as: catch and
shoots, jump shot off the dribble and drives to the basket. It lets you watch
video of traditional stats like shots, assists, rebounds, steals, turnovers, and
provides charts to demonstrate range and tendencies.
Interactive shot charts let you find shots for any part of the game, or sort shots
by play type, bench vs. starters, individual players and much more. View and
sort video by man-to-man or zone, end or side out-of-bound plays, after timeout plays, and times the team pushes the ball in transition. Graphic tools
compare players head-to-head, using regular stats or play type stats. Unique
graphics and charts make Synergy’s advanced statistics come alive.
Leaderboards let you assess any player in hundreds of categories, and
compare them to the rest of the players in their league.
