BASKETBALL ALCHEMY

I live by the motto “be who you needed”. As a hot-headed kid who only cared about basketball growing up I needed someone to help me figure out how to regulate my emotions and master my mind, so I decided to become that person — with the intention to show up for the next generation using the game that I loved and spent most of my life attempting to master.

I’ve also always been obsessed with what I call “the way of the world class”, so I studied the grand masters of the game — on and off the court — with the intention to transform my discoveries into a system that could become a path to becoming "world class” for those who were committed to follow it. So, I created a holistic basketball development service that I now call Basketball Alchemy. If I had to sum it up — 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 hoopers, 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 beautiful jump shot and/or elite athleticism wasn’t enough.

Becoming “elite” or 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-discovery, self-mastery, and self-expression.

TESTIMONIALS

Al Durham:

(former PG for Indiana University & Providence // current PG for Basquet Girona, Spain Pro A)

“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:

(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.”

”Gabe takes a holistic approach to player development. Often, the mental aspect of the game of basketball gets overlooked in training. However, thanks to his background is psychology and naturally high emotional intelligence, Gabe is able to understand and connect with people at a high level, enabling him to develop players both physically and mentally. One of his many strengths in player development is guiding players towards greater self-awareness. Through increased self-awareness, the players Gabe works with become more confident, and decisive when playing the game of basketball. A deeper understanding of their strengths and limitations enables them to tap into their fullest potential.

When combined with Gabe’s ability to recognize players’ strengths, identify their areas for growth, and develop their physical basketball skillset, these players ultimately become more prepared to compete at a higher level.

Gabe has a unique and extensive basketball background. He has played the game at the college level, has coached college basketball in a team setting, and has worked individually with players of all ages and skill levels. He has a true understanding of what tools equate to success at every different level, and what training approaches work for different types of people. He possesses an incredibly high basketball iq, and relentlessly commits himself to studying the game from a variety of angles. He puts in the work to be the best he can be as a coach and trainer, and is constantly evolving and adapting.

Gabe’s training approach is detailed and holistic and it creates more confident, decisive, and physically prepared basketball players at all levels. You will be hard-pressed to find a trainer that is as selfless and committed to your growth as Gabe.”
