Manage episode 476891423 series 2778465
Dyami Starks is one of the Midwest’s premier basketball trainers. His approach to training combines professional-level insights with data-driven development strategies. Starks also serves as the player development coach for All Iowa Attack, the director of Starks Elite AAU program, and as an assistant women’s basketball coach at The College of St. Scholastica in Duluth, Minnesota.
Dyami was a Division I standout at Bryant University and enjoyed a professional career that included stops in Australia, Kazakhstan, Turkey and Latvia.
On this episode Mike and Dyami discuss his unique training philosophy, which emphasizes the importance of fostering a player's intrinsic understanding of the game through inquiry and self-discovery rather than rote instruction. Dyami articulates the necessity of adapting training methodologies to suit individual players, highlighting that player development is predicated on providing clarity and establishing a rapport that encourages confidence and growth. Moreover, we explore the evolving landscape of basketball recruiting, particularly in light of the recent changes brought about by the introduction of NIL and the transfer portal, which have significantly altered the dynamics for high school athletes. Throughout our conversation, Starks underscores the essence of cultivating a love for the game, encouraging young players to embrace the journey of growth and improvement while navigating the challenges that lie ahead.
