Tony Frohlich-Fair
6’6 Guard
Evergreen State
I was fortunate enough to meet Tony last year as a redshirt transfer.
It changed both of our lives.
He had the frame and skillset already, he had elite IQ, but he was not strong enough to handle contact consistently, and his ankles were fragile.
But the real problem was his relationship with basketball was not in the right place.
So we started there.
As that relationship improved, his mental and physical alignment and energy improved.
He gained 30 pounds of muscle, did track work for 16 weeks, and mastered the footwork necessary to be unguardable.
We used the Portland Pro Am as our first test of preparation, and he was hooping for real with a high of 39 points.
Next test was Zeekend and he played well but missed easy shots, but we knew if you can create your shot then it’s gonna start going in with the right work.
So we got back to work using that feedback.
Finally the season came, and you could tell early he was about to kill it.
Teams played box and one, triangle and two, face guarding full court, but nothing worked.
He ended up averaging 25 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals on 50/40/80 percentages with
6-8 eyes on him every play.
He jumped 15 ppg from his previous season.
But I knew he would do that, and honestly we been showing this work for a year and he passed so many players during that time.
Here was the remarkable part though… his body language and positivity was elite the entire year despite a negative team culture.
He put in the work, changed his trajectory, and now he can play basketball for many years to come.
During that time we built so many layers into the Verity training system, it provided evidence that this training model works.
As we head into this offseason we are going to add 15-20 more pounds, add another gear of explosiveness, and take the range out to 35 feet.
We will continue to unlock new doors and who knows where they will lead, but we intend to find out.
Give me your offseason and it will change your trajectory.
