The Ultimate NBA Draft Course presented by GET IN THE GAME 101
GITG101 NBA DRAFT Course
Are you someone who loves the NBA and is obsessed with the NBA Draft? Someone who would like to ‘meet’ NBA personnel? Someone who wants to work in an NBA Front Office one day?
If you answered yes to one or all of those questions… we’ve got a course for you!
GET IN THE GAME 101’s NBA Draft Course is back, starting May 17th at 5:00p PT / 8:00p ET. The 2+ hour classes will take place on Wednesday evening’s via Zoom from May 17th – June 21st.
“GITG101 is changing the game!” “The learning is real and the hosts genuinely want to see you succeed! It was an experience I will never forget!”
GITG101’s Draft Course is an interactive on-line course where students get to speak directly with NBA personnel. Coaches, Front Office Personnel, Trainers, Analytics, and more give a 360 view of preparation for the NBA Draft while also assisting and answering questions regarding their own journey and getting a job/internship in the NBA.
We collaborate with some of the best NBA-related companies to give you a real NBA Front Office experience. Students get insights from Cerebro Sports (backed by Mark Cuban), Cleaning the Glass (Ben Falk of the Trail Blazers and 76ers), Pro Insight (Matt McKay of the Hornets and Trail Blazers), & Swish Theory.
Our teachers have over 100+ seasons of NBA Draft War Room experience from teams like the Knicks, Suns, Bucks, Grizzlies, Magic, Trail Blazers, Mavericks, and even the Sonics! Classes are facilitated by 15-year NBA Vet (Video Coordinator & Basketball Operations) John Ross, Bjorn Zetterberg (Scouting / Analytics, Trail Blazers & Magic), and Mike Visenberg (NBAdraft.net, Pro Insight).
“John Ross is a real, authentic, and genuine person that I have no doubt will continue to change lives and basketball careers with his willingness to share his experiences in the game of basketball. I can confidently recommend John’s classes to anyone looking to advance their career or their knowledge about the industry because John has dedicated so much of his professional life to helping others reach their goals. Few people do that, and even fewer do it as well as John. For that reason, I’ll always support GET IN THE GAME!!”
All classes will be recorded and uploaded to Vimeo (a couple of speakers will only be available live). For classes you cannot attend, speakers will be announced prior and you can send in your questions. For International students, we will also make sure to have availability within your time zone for a live class and regular communication. We also have an active Slack channel you will be added to for the season.
Each student will be placed in an NBA Draft Cohort (mini-Front Office) where you will go through simulation drafts before having an actual NBA Mock Draft in Week 6 of the class. Joining the course with friends?! Let us know and you can make your own Front Office.
What our students are saying?
The journey is LONG. Hearing from so many different people about their pathway to working in the NBA was incredible.
I walked away with a better understanding of things, and friends to talk ball with.
My biggest takeaway from the course was that basketball is a small world and everyone holds their own path to get to where they want to go as they follow their dreams.
You will learn a lot and have a lot of fun in the process. Can't ask for much more than that!
This course connected me with talented peers and people who have been where I want to be. They teach a great course and I'd sign up for it again.
I gave up on my dream of working in the NBA a long time ago - money and free time are too important to me to give up - but I still nerd out about the NBA draft and prospect evaluation in my free time. The subject matter of this course was fascinating to me and even though you branded it toward job seekers, I think hobbyists like myself can really find value in the way that you ran things. Thanks again!
I received word of this opportunity through a mutual connection in the student-manager world. Immediately, I jumped on the opportunity to sign up (despite the cost) because I knew I would come through the course better than I came in. That was certainly the case for a few reasons: connection, knowledge, and skill. Through John Ross’ NBA Draft course, I was able to make baseline connections with more than half of my classmates and strong connections with my cohort group. On top of that, my all-around knowledge of the NBA (scouting, operations, coaching, etc) increased as a result of the guest speakers’ stories, Q&A sessions, and after-hour conversations. I would suggest this course to anyone looking to connect and move up in the industry of basketball. The learning is real and the hosts genuinely want to see you succeed! It was an experience I will never forget!
