IBA Core Values

We believe and stand for developing these values in the players and coaches we work with.

CHARACTER
The quality, or the sum of qualities. That which a person or thing really is; nature; disposition. The essence of a man when he is squeezed.

LEADERSHIP
The power and understanding of being able to influence others in a positive way.

INTEGRITY
Doing what’s right even when no one is looking.

COMPETITIVENESS
Having a passion or strong desire to be successful. The quality of being good at something.

ADVERSITY
Knowing what to do efficiently and effectively in a challenging situation.

RESPECT
Treating others the way you want to be treated.

CRITICAL THINKING
If and then. If I do this, then this is the possible positive or negative result.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION
We will deal with issues amongst each other in a respectful manner at all times. Players as well as coaches will try to work out their problems with one another first before talking to someone else. If they are unable to do so, then they will go to a coach for intervention needs. Going outside the basketball family before making an effort to work it out first is strongly discouraged.  

LOVE / PASSION / PURPOSE
What do you do and who do you do it for? If you were to never get paid a single dime for something, what would you do for free and still love doing it? Helping our young men seek out their purpose in life and their role on the team.

WHY
Why do you do what you do? What’s your motivation?
