TESTIMONIALS ABOUT IDAN RAVIN

I started working with Idan when I was getting ready for the Draft. He got me better - a lot better. The last two years we worked really hard. Its no coincidence that I have improved so much and played well at the World Championships. Me, Chris Paul and Idan worked hard for more than 6 weeks to get ready!<br><br>--- Carmelo Anthony --- Denver Nuggets | |

I have learned so much working with Idan. I
really appreciate everything he has done for me and I have
had a lot of fun in the process. --- Chris Paul --- New Orleans Hornets |

You see what Idan has done with Melo and
Chris Paul. They were killing this last year and during
World Championships. The best guys in the League trust Idan
with their game because he gets us better so fast. His
workouts are no joke. That’s why I made sure I worked with
Idan when the docs cleared me to play in February/March! He
is great! --- Gilbert Arenas --- Washington Wizards |

I worked with Idan when I was getting ready
for the Draft. He was great to work with then and I continue
to work with him. When the doctors cleared me to play after
my injury, I knew what I had to do. I flew Idan to L.A. to
work with me mid-season. He really makes players better. --- Elton Brand --- Philadelphia 76ers |

The best guys in the League work with Idan:
Melo, CPaul, Gilbert, EBrand, etc. I had a chance to work
with Idan and I definitely took advantage of it. That was by
far the best work I have done while I have been in the
League. Now I understand why the All Stars make it a point
to work with Idan. My goal is to become an All Star and I
know Idan will help me get there. --- Jason Richardson --- Phoenix Suns |

Idan is a fantastic player development
coach. His track record speaks for itself as he has worked
with the top players in the NBA yet he is able to help any
player at any level improve their game. Players that will invest the time and effort to work with him will see tremendous results. --- Tommy Sheppard, Assistant GM Washington Wizards |

I invited Idan to Dallas during the season
to work with our players. My coaching staff and I consider
his work excellent. He is creative and innovative in his
approach. He has a very strong presence on the court.
Players respond quickly to his direction and leadership. --- Donnie Nelson --- President - Dallas Mavericks |

Player development has become a necessary
component of professional basketball and Idan is one of the
finest coaches in this field that I have met. Players at the

This is a really big year for me. Its my
last year on my rookie contract and so there is a lot of
money at stake, especially after the kind of money teams
were paying this offseason to big men. I knew what I had to
do so I made sure I worked with Idan this entire offseason. --- Brendan Haywood ---Dallas Mavericks |

Idan prepared me for summer league and
training camp through his intense workouts. His attention to
detail with his ball handling and footwork drills elevated
my game to new levels. --- Roger Mason --- San Antonio Spurs |

To attempt to put into words the impact
Idan has had on me both mentally and physically simply takes
away from the true value of his knowledge and his will to
make you better. He takes your game to another level so fast
that you wonder what else is there to teach. I respect every
aspect of his knowledge because he respected/respects every
aspect of my game while making it better." --- Alana Beard --- Washington Mystics |

I am a believer in Idan Ravin and his workout regiment. I
have been fortunate to be involved with several elite basketball
players including being college teammates with Tim Duncan and
Josh Howard as well as coaching Chris Paul. I watched Chris Paul
from his sophomore year in high school to his sophomore year in
college and each year his game expanded leaps and bounds. I
thought that when he was going into his second year in college
that he was playing at an ultimate level as he was dominating
practices and opponents as we entered into the 2005 college
season. But when I watched Chris Paul after working Idan Ravin
in his initial training segment not only was his game superior
to any other time I had seen him but his mindset had changed and
he was on a mission to destroy anyone that crossed his path on
the court ... After working with Idan Chris Paul polished his
game and eclipsed all other guards and was well prepared for the
NBA. Which was confirmed by his 2006 NBA Rookie of the Year
award. --- Tim Fuller, NIKE Pro Basketball |
