ABOUT HARD2GUARD COLORADO

Mission

HARD2GUARD

To be a top-tier basketball club that changes the culture of basketball in Colorado and helps to move players on to the next level. We will take young athletes and help develop them both on and off the court to not only make them better basketball players but teach them the skills necessary to become productive adults in our society.

We will do this by instilling the values of hard work, integrity, teamwork, dedication, and the pursuit of excellence in everything we do.  We will strive for perfection, knowing that the achievement of perfection is impossible, but the fact that we are willing to chase it will put us ahead of where we were yesterday. We will be successful, and we use John Wooden’s definition of success “Success is the peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction unknowing you did your best you are capable of.”

We will not compare ourselves to other people or teams.  We will be solely focused on what it is we do and following the Hard2Guard way. We believe this will get us to our goal of becoming the Elite AAU program in Colorado and prepare our young men and women to move on to the next level, whether that be on or off the court.
