Have you ever seen a guy bring his 70-year-old mom to pick-up basketball… and she’s MAKING PLAYS?!

I’ve spent 1000s of hours playing and watching pick-up basketball and I’ve never seen anything even close to this.
You can see a highlight in a short video I did, and you can watch a unique full video which I’ll describe below.
Almost a decade ago, Oliver Xu was one of the first athletes to visit me in Florida. He lived there for a while, fully learning my systems.

He skyrocketed his own athleticism, but also observed how I was training my mom. He started training his mom!
The key point is that EVERY EXERCISE SCALES.
You don’t have absolutes of “ability” or “NO ability.”

When Covid hit, they didn’t stop. They trained from their living room!


She emerged after Covid able to play basketball better than anyone expected, and they are now a one-of-a-kind mother-son duo on this planet.
It’s not about basketball. Basketball is a game. It’s about the way she’s LIVING LIFE.
My own mom is an INCREDIBLE MOTHER, FRIEND, AND GRANDMOTHER to my children.
And she STILL WOULD BE even if she couldn’t run fast.
These bodies are pesky things. They can get in the way of the best stuff! ATG is NOT PERFECT but it can help you be more yourself.
The Oliver & Mama Xu story is one of the best examples I’ve seen of that.
Oliver is now a thriving PRO basketball player, yet he still takes the time to help kids with his unique defense clinics.

The three of us recently met up and filmed this FREE follow-along defense clinic for kids, along with my knee and jump training right on the court.
