We work on that!
How We Work
Elite individual, small group, and team basketball training founded by former professional basketball player Anthony Tucker.

Individual Training
Individualized, 1-on-1 instruction is based on your specific needs and skillset. From shooting, passing, ball handling, or anything between, we will create a plan unique to you and your goals.

Small Group Training
Small group sessions are focused on conceptual breakdowns, with an emphasis on positional skill development. By placing athletes with similar skillsets and abilities together, we work to create an opportunity for maximum development.

Team Training
Bring your entire team and work on spacing concepts, compete in half court settings, or dive into the intricate nuances of your team’s offensive and defensive systems.

Our Approach
At Hoop Habits, our training method is designed to not only develop skills, but to teach athletes how to apply our training techniques and concepts to live game situations. Conceptual training is as important, if not more, than individual drill work. We focus on concepts such as spacing, reading the defense, and preparing for situations that athletes will encounter throughout the course of a game. We want to see you apply what we work on at Hoop Habits on the court – and give you the confidence to say “WE WORK ON THAT!”
What They’re Saying…
Megan and Mark Herzog
Working with Coach Tucker has truly been an elite experience. Tuck’s meticulous attention to Eli’s shot form and footwork has elevated his accuracy and consistency to new heights. Beyond the focus on skills, Tuck’s knowledge of the game and how he conveys that understanding to Eli has not only improved his on-court decision making but has also enhanced his overall game awareness. What sets Tuck apart, however, is his commitment to the individual development of every kid he works with. He tailors training sessions to address specific strengths and areas for improvement, ensuring personalized growth for each kid he works with. Thanks to Tuck, Eli has not only developed superior basketball skills, but he has gained a deeper understanding of the game, setting a solid foundation for future success on the court.

I have known Anthony Tucker since he was a standout high school player and it has come as no surprise that his coaching and ability as a trainer reflects that same level of excellence. For the last 2 years I have learned so much from watching him interact with our players daily. What I have seen is an exceptional ability to relate to kids, nurture their talent, and get them excited about the work that’s necessary to continually improve. Anthony’s combination of his knowledge and ability to simply break the game down is something I have never come across before in all my years of coaching. You are not going to find a trainer anywhere else with Anthony’s level of expertise, attention to detail, and genuine care for the players he works with. Hoop Habits is an extension of what Anthony has spent his whole life doing – working hard and being successful on the basketball court – it’s a place where passion for the game and dedication to improvement come together.

I have the chance to work with Anthony Tucker in two different teams. Tucker was a great professional with good and healthy habits off the court and daily routines to make his game grow. As a coach, having a Point Guard like him is very helpful being an extension of me on the court and never afraid to take responsibilities on the clutch moments. His leadership was more than only on the game, always ready to help younger teammates to grow, giving tips on the game and working with them to develop their game. His passion for basketball was more than only playing, he always was following different leagues and watching players, knowing with a good vision of a coach how they play or how they can fit in the game.

We highly recommend Tucker! He identified areas of need and helped Boden take both his mental and skill ability to the next level. Tuck has a fantastic mix of professional, collegiate, and coaching experience. Part of his magic is his ability to coach and transfer those experiences to his athletes. We also found his calm, straight-forward style refreshing and believe it helped bring out the best in Boden.

Very quickly after our son began training and receiving coaching from Anthony Tucker we knew he was in good hands. The development on and off the court has been tremendous. It’s rare to find someone who is willing to invest time and energy into another person’s goals and Tuck has done just that. He’s made this more than just basketball and treats us like family.

Training with Anthony Tucker over the course of the last several years has been a game changer for my son. His holistic approach to training has helped him grow and mature in his skillset, court IQ and EQ. His mentorship and guidance have been invaluable to his growth and development. Anthony Tucker is an amazing coach and an even better person.

We’ve been very fortunate to have Tuck as a trainer for our son, Jackson. He’s been instrumental in helping Jackson elevate all aspects of his game through his personalized approach to training. Not only has Tuck helped him with basketball but he’s also been an impactful mentor to him, both on and off the court.

After my daughter’s first session at Hoop Habits, she knew she was going to love it. She’s now a few months in and it’s only getting better and better. Hoop Habits has a great facility, scheduling platform and excellent variety of training options, but far beyond that, the workouts are individualized to an impressive degree and Coach Tuck’s attention to detail paired with his genuine desire to see athlete’s succeed is why we are such big fans. Coach Tuck pushes her hard physically to develop her skills but also develops her ability to translate her training to game play and get tangible results. Coach Tuck strikes a perfect balance of coach and cheerleader. He tells her what she needs to hear while never wavering in his support and belief in her as a player and person. She feels that and is better for it. He is a remarkably gifted trainer, leader and mentor and any athlete is incredibly fortunate to be working with Coach Tuck and Hoop Habits.

We love Hoop Habits!!! It has been so fun to watch our son (and college daughter) thrive, grow and develop not only their basketball skills but their confidence, nutrition and strength. Anthony, Jadee, Gavin and Julianna are top notch and truly care about all aspects of the game and push the kids to be better athletes physically and mentally! They have really helped my son with his confidence, his 3 point shot and being more confident with driving and getting in the paint. They have also worked on defensive work which my son has grown leaps and bounds on! They are positive, knowledgeable and really push the kids to be their best on and off the court! Each trainer has their own method of training and teaching that have all influenced and encouraged my son positively!! Julianna (their nutrition Coach) has been amazing for my son to work with. We both have learned so much about nutrition and how that impacts sports, growth and performance! It’s been a fun journey and we can’t wait to continue watching all the growth! He loves going and looks forward to as many sessions as he can! My daughter is looking forward to training when she is home on breaks! Thank you HH!!!
