BASKETBALL ALCHEMY

Think Bruce Lee meets Kobe Bryant. This system is the result of 14 years of basketball experience — covering player development and management roles at Indiana University, New Mexico Military, and Grand Canyon University, as well as collegiate and semi-professional play with New Mexico Military Institute, St. Francis Brooklyn, and the Venice Basketball League.

Since 2021, I’ve worked across the U.S. and overseas with professional, collegiate, and young athletes, refining a holistic training approach that blends the mental, emotional, physical, and fundamental aspects of the game — because somewhere along the way I realized that having a pretty jump shot and elite athleticism wasn’t enough.

Actualizing your basketball potential has more to do with the intangible than the tangible. And I’d love the opportunity to explain to you in depth about why that is.

The primary intention of this offering is to use basketball as a tool for self-mastery.

TESTIMONIALS


Al Durham: Professional Basketball Player

“Mr. Hilt aka The Algorithm has been spreading this mind-body-soul-basketball knowledge with me throughout our years of knowing each other, since I was a freshman at Indiana University. He has helped me at every stop — college and the pros. Gabe has helped me through so many mental, physical, and spiritual hurdles. I could go on and on, but if you are considering working with him, do it. Because I know he will put his all into making sure you become a better person first, and then becoming a better player will follows suit naturally"


Alessandro Lever: Professional Basketball Player

(F/C for Grand Canyon University // current F for Reyer Venezia, Italy Pro A)

“I met Gabe during my last year in college, where he served as a graduate assistant. He helped improving and crafting my game and, critically, strengthened my mental game sharing his philosophy of the "mind-body-soul". His guidance helped me navigate challenging periods in my career. He is a basketball fanatic that truly loves this sport and that is willing to put in the hours to study the game and to craft his own game to understand what works and what doesn't. He is commited to help the players create the best version of themselves in any condition, like the heat and humidity we faced in Rome two summers ago. Always excited to get back in the gym with him.”
