A True Skill Enhancement Education

The true measure of exceptional skill trainers lies in their ability to enhance skills, accurately identify techniques, and implement effective training methodologies in real time.

At Trainer University, trainers are immersed in Technique-Driven Skill Enhancement (TDSE)—the innovative system developed by Micah Lancaster that drives I’m Possible Training. This platform bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and live performance, emphasizing accountability and adaptability to empower trainers to deliver transformative results for players at every level.

TDSE Mission

Technique-Driven Skill Enhancement elevates the standards of skill development professionals in the basketball training industry. We achieve this by providing the best educational experience and requiring trainers to pass a written exam based on the TDSE textbook and online course. Trainers must also stay updated on skill enhancement techniques and practices each year.

This ensures we build a network of qualified trainers who can deliver effective workouts and provide clear, detailed, and game-realistic instruction, all within a systematic approach to skill enhancement.

Do you have a certification that makes you a better coach or trainer? One that helps your players improve? Discover how TDSE can advance your career and elevate your training.
