Championship Productions would like to congratulate John Tauer on making a rare second trip to the Final Four! Few college basketball players ever reach the Final Four. John is in rare company reaching the Final Four as a player and for the first time as a coach. John was a squad member for the 93′-94′ St. Thomas Final Four team. This weekend he will join St. Thomas as an assistant coach as they match up against Middlebury College in the Final Four. Championship Productions is proud to say it has partnered with John Tauer on various Basketball DVD projects. Learn Tauer’s time-tested series of `hierarchical’ skill progressions that develop, challenge and reward every player.

New on DVD: A Hierarchy of Skills for Youth Basketball

By nate.landas - Last updated: Tuesday, December 7, 2010

We have recently released two new youth basketball DVDs featuring Dr. John Tauer. Tauer is the Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach/Offensive Coordinator and Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of St. Thomas. St. Thomas is the only NCAA team (out of 1,000+) to be in the top 10 in the nation for field goal percentage each of the past five years (2006-10). Dr. Tauer is also one of the country’s only full-time psychology professors who also coaches college basketball. For the past 16 years, Dr. Tauer has directed his own summer basketball camps, working with thousands of young players during that time.

Below are the two new basketball DVDs Dr. Tauer has produced in conjunction with Championship Productions:

A Hierarchy of Individual Skills for Youth Basketball

Excellent age-appropriate, progression-based skills instruction
Learn drills that are competitive, rewarding, and fun
A great resource for parents and coaches

A Hierarchy of Advanced Skills for Youth Basketball

An excellent teaching progression using a hierarchy of drills for advanced offensive skills
Youth demonstrators allow you to watch the common mistakes and areas of challenge for young players
Dr. Tauer’s experience as a successful college player, coach, youth camp director and psychology professor, make this one of the most insightful DVDs ever made
