Video Summary
AI GeneratedThis video highlights a successful case study of a basketball coach named Austin, who ran a highly profitable summer camp. The speaker analyzes the financial results, the strategic use of guest coaches and media, and the high conversion rate of camp attendees into long-term weekly training members, while offering advice on improving future events.
Hey, what's going on, coach? Welcome back to the channel.
Every Friday, I like to post
weekly wins of the clients that I get to work with,
whether it be in my one-on-one program
or my boardroom program. And I'm just going to pull this up.
This is a coach I'm really,
really proud of. So this coach, his name is Austin.
He posted about his first ever summer
camp. He posted a lot of information here.
I'm not going to read through every single thing.
But I'm going to talk about the main things
that you should take away from his first camp.
And this was very profitable, right?
So you can see the numbers there.
Gross revenue did $11,428.
Net profit, $8,128.
And you can see every day that they ran the camp,
they had like a different type of person there.
So they had a college coach there,
a JUCO coach there, college and overseas pro there.
So they had like different people show up.
It wasn't just his coaching staff as a way
to possibly draw in more interest from parents
to sign up for this thing, but it's
also really good for kids to be able to learn from these
other types of coaches.
It's something that really, really stood out to me here.
And you can see this kind of like towards the bottom third,
but he said, out of the 28 who came to the camp,
we're converting 22 into our weekly training
launching again in August.
Now, he posted this in July, right?
I'm filming this at the very end of September.
This might go out sometime in October.
So it's not gonna sync up perfectly with the timeline
whenever you watch this video,
but he posted this this summer.
Obviously, it's a summer camp.
If you look at that, you know, 28.
Showed up to the thing.
22 are going to convert into the weekly training launching in August.
Just come.
Combining with a regular membership,
we should be launching August with 36 athletes at an
average spend of $179 per month.
So he talks about, you know,
a couple wins and then what they could do better said,
first off, they did it. All right.
Brand awareness from tagging coaches and athletes
on social media, securing a dedicated media person was also really big.
So they had someone come in,
shoot pictures, shoot video. That makes a huge difference.
Like in the moment marketing,
when you're doing, you know, camps and clinics, that's a huge deal.
Cause you're not focused on it as the coach,
you have somebody else who's doing it.
And then also that creates assets for the future.
If you're going to be posting about, you know,
future camps and clinics, you can have social
proof from top quality photos.
And you can see at the bottom,
you can see some of the photos of their staff, you know,
actually doing this.
And the things that he said he could do better
are testimonials during camp from parents
and athletes.
That's a key one, because when you have parents in the gym,
that's when they're on a high
And that's a good time to create a lot of
testimonial videos from parents
when they're live on the spot because they're in the gym.
They like what's going on.
Most coaches can get 10 to 20 of those testimonials and then they can
put them on their website.
They can post them on social media. They can run ads to those
testimonials. They can post them on their email newsletter.
I mean, there's a lot of different
Things that can.
Help create more revenue when you have more testimonials.
But that's something he recognized he could do better.
I'm
And then he said, sign people up for weekly training during camp.
starting
So it's like getting people signed up now
while they're at the camp versus doing it
after, right?
So this is a coach super proud of, basketball coach on the West Coast.
Thank
to
Awesome business.
And Austin, if you're watching this, way to go, man.

program.
We have some coaches that are doing over six figures

actual program that they're selling.
And then we have some coaches that run a lot of clinics
and they do that for free.
And then they use that as a way to sell kids
or parents into the long-term program as well.
So there's a lot of different methods.
There's not one perfect method that works for everyone.
Some coaches don't like to run big
camps like what I'm showing you here.
They don't like to have a million kids.
They don't like to do it that way.
Some coaches just like, you know,
really tight knit camps and clinics that are more exclusive,
that are more expensive.
So I try to cater that sort of stuff based off of you,
how you like to do stuff
and really try to maximize your current situation.
