Jason Otter: A Man Among Boys

Jason Otter is the greatest teacher of the game of basketball on this planet. The 40 year old basketball guru from Saginaw, Michigan has produced more division one basketball players than any other player developmental program in the United States. He pays attention to details most players don't even know exist. Coach Otter breaks down the mechanics of a player's shot, foundational stance, ball handling, triple threat, and movement with and without the ball (which a number of trainers fail to cover). He excels in teaching efficiency of movement and can teach players how to eliminate their wasted motion and score on faster and quicker opponents. Furthermore, what separates him from the other basketball minds of the world is undoubtedly his work ethic.
     Sure, it's a safe bet every basketball trainer out there works or has worked hard over his or her career. But Coach Otter takes hard work to a whole new level. The man missed only eight workouts from the ages of 11 to 24. He does not settle for pushing his body five or six times a week. He has the everyday mentality which has molded his incredible work ethic (which is second to none) into his way of life. He goes hard on Christmas, his birthday, Thanksgiving, and every other holiday in between. By going hard, I mean it is not uncommon to see Jason in the gym for 10 to 14 hours a day running camps. While running camps, he goes through the vigorous workouts along with his campers. He doesn't have time for breaks. He works out all day, and does it everyday. It's truly an inspirational thing to see.
      His work ethic coupled with his remarkable knowledge of the game separate him from the pack. If your goal is to play college basketball, go pro, make your team, or even just learn things about the great sport that most people won't know, you should get yourself to a Jason Otter basketball camp!
