Budding Wanganui basketball stars soaked up every word and put visiting mentor Avi Meyerson's style of coaching into action during a training workshop at Springvale Stadium yesterday.
Meyerson has been in the River City all week hosting a coaching workshop specifically for coaches on Easter Monday and then a series of elite training camps for 11 to 19-year-old players.
The American is the face of internationally renowned Impact Basketball which has "Changing the Way you Train" as its slogan.
Impact Basketball and Meyerson have, and continue to work with some of the world's best players and coaches, including American NBA stars.
Traditionally, Meyerson and his Impact style has been reserved only for major centres around the globe, including New Zealand, but appeared in Wanganui for the very first time through HoopNation's connection with the city.
