About Us

Thaddeus Young is a 17-year NBA veteran — Philadelphia 76ers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Brooklyn Nets, Indiana Pacers, Chicago Bulls, San Antonio Spurs, Toronto Raptors, Phoenix Suns — an NBA All-Rookie Team selection and NBA Hustle Award winner. A former Parade All-American, Jordan Brand Classic co-MVP, and Nike Hoop Summit participant, he’s spent over a decade developing prospects through Team Thad EYBL and serves as a minority owner of the Brisbane Bullets (NBL) and an advisor/investor in Shoot 360.

I started Young for Youth Performance because small, focused reps changed my life. After 17 years in the NBA, I know real growth comes from consistent work and clear feedback.

We train in 3–4 athlete pods on one main basket so every rep gets coached. We pair court work with strength, mobility, recovery, and film to build complete players. We’re not a team or a school—we partner with parents and school/AAU coaches to add value where it matters: footwork, shooting, reads, and habits. Our standard is simple: effort, respect, accountability. The upstairs parent loft is there so you can see the process.

If your child is ready to commit to the details, we’re ready to pour in—one rep at a time.
