Hi, I’m Alfredo “Coach Al” Broadnax, a retired Army First Sergeant and an Iraq and Afghanistan veteran. I’ve spent my career leading Soldiers, developing training plans, and fostering discipline, teamwork, and resilience. While I never played college or professional basketball, I’ve been immersed in the game for years, playing in intramural leagues across the world. My love for the sport and my background in physical training naturally led me to coaching—and it all started with a twist of fate.

How It All Began
One week before the basketball season started, I got a call. The team needed a coach—fast. I wasn’t the first choice, or even the second. But I was the only option left. No prior coaching experience, no guidebook to follow—just a love for the game and a belief that with the right approach, I could give these kids something special.
I wasn’t going to let them down.

From day one,
my goal was clear: ensure every child had fun, developed their skills, and gained confidence as the season progressed. Since I couldn’t find a single comprehensive resource to guide me, I pieced together strategies from various sources. But in the end, experience became my best teacher. I documented everything—what worked, what didn’t, and how we could improve. Week by week, I adjusted our training plan, and something incredible happened.
SUCCESS AND GROWTH
We started winning. Not just on the scoreboard, but in our growth as a team. Parents bought into my program, my assistant coach reinforced our vision, and the kids flourished. We went on a thrilling run that took us all the way to the championship game. Though we fell short, the journey was nothing short of amazing.

Understanding Strengths and Weaknesses
Every player has unique abilities. My first priority is honest evaluation—knowing what we’re good at and what needs work. Training isn’t one-size-fits-all; it’s about tailoring development to maximize potential.

Parent Buy-In
One of the most underestimated aspects of coaching youth basketball is parental involvement. When parents understand and support the program, it strengthens the entire team. Communication and engagement from the sidelines to the practice court make a huge impact.

Continuous Evaluation & Adaptation
A training plan isn’t set in stone—it evolves. I made real-time adjustments every week based on my scouting reports and game performances. Adapting is key to unlocking potential.
