YOUR HOST
Meet Dane Smith – Founder & Head Coach
For over 15 years, Dane Smith has dedicated his life to mastering the art of basketball training — from middle school gyms to high-performance university programs and professional leagues around the world.
​
A former NCAA Division I athlete at the University of Tennessee–Martin, and a seasoned professional player with international experience, Dane has seen every level of the game — and understands exactly what separates those who make it from those who don’t.
​
“I’ve trained thousands of athletes, from beginners to pros, and one truth stands out — talent alone isn’t enough. The difference comes down to mindset, preparation, and execution.”
​
That realization inspired Dane to create the Dane Smith Basketball Masterclass — a complete player development experience designed to teach athletes the how and why behind elite performance. His system bridges physical skill, basketball IQ, and mental toughness, helping players unlock their full potential both on and off the court.
​
With his signature blend of intensity, structure, and mentorship, Dane has become one of the most respected youth developers in the game. His mission is simple:
To prepare the next generation of athletes to think, train, and compete like professionals — before they ever reach that level.
