Gym Rat Performance Training BASKETBALL TRAINING IN PITTSBURGH Our programs are designed to suite the needs of each athlete. All athletes are not created equal…every athlete is unique.

We have trained youth and high school athletes as well as athletes from NCAA D1, D2, D3, NAIA programs as well as pro and semi pro athletes. When you make an investment in us our goal is to go beyond your expectations to give you / your athlete THE VERY BEST individual attention they have ever had. WE DON’T WANT repeat customers…WE WANT lifelong members of the Gym Rat Performance Training family. Our programs are built upon 3 principles:

WE BUILD CONFIDENCE –
Athletic ability and knowledge of the game can only take a player so far. Ultimately a great athlete has to have confidence within to achieve their potential. During your time with Gym Rat Performance Training you will be thoroughly instructed in the mental aspects of athletic performance to help you fulfill your athletic peak. WE TEACH FUNDAMENTAL & SKILLS
The game is based on doing the small things perfectly so that one may build upon this foundation and progress to the harder skills required to be an elite level player. Our programs teach the foundations and do not progress to the intermediate and advanced skills and techniques until one masters the process. As the old adage proclaims, “One cannot run before they can walk.”


ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE TRAINING
We know that to take your game to the next level we also have to take your athleticism to the next level. Under the guidance of Coach Kurzawski (who is a certified personal trainer, worked with nationally renown D1 Sports Performance Training and has worked as a college strength and conditioning coach) you will be introduced, instructed and challenged in some of the latest muscle building and speed/agility training in order that you may reach your athletic peak.

Gym Rat coaches in their natural habitat. 🏀

Teaching. Correcting. Encouraging. Repeating.

Development doesn’t happen by accident - it happens through thousands of reps, attention to detail, and coaches who care about getting players better every single day.

One of the biggest mistakes young players make is panicking when they lose control of the ball.

The moment they misdribble, their mindset becomes: “I need to get rid of it!”

Why?

At Gym Rat PT, we teach players that a mistake doesn’t have to become a turnover.

Use your pivot. Regather yourself. Protect the basketball. Read the floor. Find the next play.

Good players react to mistakes.

Great players stay composed through them.

Not every misdribble needs to create chaos. Sometimes the best play is simply slowing down, regaining control, and making the right decision.

Basketball IQ is just as important as ball handling.

At our practices, you’re not going to see a bunch of players dancing with the basketball and dribbling for no reason.

You’re going to see players learning how to move without the ball, cut hard, screen, read defenders, make quick decisions, and create quality scoring opportunities.

That’s how basketball is played at the highest levels.

We teach patience. We teach efficiency. We teach players to work for great shots, not just any shot.

And yes—we still believe in the midrange game.

When defenses take away the rim and run shooters off the three-point line, players who can stop, rise up, and knock down a midrange jumper become incredibly difficult to guard.

The goal isn’t more dribbles. The goal is better shots.

Work hard. Move the ball. Trust your teammates. Take what the defense gives you.

That’s winning basketball.
