Dublin, OH (May 7, ...]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>LanCon Premier Re-Seller of 94Fifty® Basketball skill technology for German basketball market.</h2>
<p>Dublin, OH (May 7, 2012) – Basketball programs and players throughout Germany are about to go high tech with the announcement of LanCon basketball as the first and presently only authorized re-seller of 94Fifty’s advanced skill measurement technology in Germany.</p>
<p>94Fifty’s Total Skill Measurement system, launched to the U.S. market in 2010, is the first product of its kind to measure and diagnose how well a player’s skills have developed.  The system then utilizes those measurements to prescribe proven, personalized methods to improve shooting mechanics, shot speed, shooting arc, power dribbling, hand-speed, mental coordination, and many other skills that have been traditionally impossible to measure and track.</p>
<p>“We are excited to add LanCon as our first authorized re-seller for this market.  They have an extremely impressive knowledge of the game and bring over 100 years of collective basketball experience to clubs that are looking to increase their competitive advantage.” said Michael Crowley, 94Fifty Founder and CEO.   “Their business experience and basketball background matches our expectations for operating at a high level in a high-growth basketball market, promoting 94fifty concepts, and marketing and delivering the 94Fifty experience.”</p>
<p>“The 94Fifty system is truly a breakthrough for the way basketball skills can be evaluated, measured, diagnosed and improved.  Its precision is exceptional and provides coaches and players access to information we have only had limited or no access to in the past.”  Said Gijs Langevoort, LanCon CEO. “We think that 94Fifty’s scientific approach to measuring and developing skill is ideally suited for the European game and we are excited about bringing this capability to clubs and players in Germany. The 94Fifty technology will add tremendous value to anyone who is serious about developing skills at any level.”</p>
<p>Langevoort and his group, based in Landstede Sportcenter in Zwolle, Netherlands, bring an impressive basketball background to the relationship.  Langevoort was a professional league team player, while Co-owner, Sjoerd, also played professionally and is a regular clinician and teacher to young players. To bring the technology to Germany, LanCon has teamed up with former German Olympian and renowned player and coach Peter Kruesmann.    Sales efforts have already begun and top clubs and teams will begin to receive their systems in the coming weeks.   With the competitive level for basketball growing globally, 94Fifty brings a new competitive advantage to increase the number of versatile players necessary to compete at the international level.</p>

Coach ...]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><em>Boys Town high school goes 27-1 as the highest scoring team in the state. </em></h2>
<p>Coach Tom Krehbiel understands a thing or two about player psychology and motivation.  For the past 10 years as the varsity boys basketball coach at Boys Town High School in Omaha, Nebraska, he has seen his share of great athletes that had raw potential but failed to put it all together on the court.</p>
<p>Boys Town is a unique opportunity for its full-time students.  Many of Krehbiel’s players are sent to Boys Town as a last resort, arriving from torn or dysfunctional family backgrounds or run-ins with the law.   Until they arrive on campus, structure is more often than not a foreign concept, and communicating the importance of new practice habits is a particular coaching challenge.  Before they reach Krehbiel, most of his players have never had any formal coaching. The nature of the mission for Boys Town means that he has no feeder system to develop young talent, so he has to develop team chemistry, discipline and skill quickly.  In most years, these hurdles would result in competitive teams that weren’t quite polished enough to take home the title.</p>
<p><strong>“I was ready to buy a NOAH system, and then I learned about 94Fifty”</strong><br />
At the end of the 2010-2011 season, Coach Krehbiel recognized that he had to try something new.  He had just finished a solid 20-6 campaign but lost in the state tournament because his teams couldn’t shoot the ball.  Opposing teams would pack in their zone defenses, limiting the athletic advantages his teams would bring by slowing the game down and making every possession a struggle.<br />
While the Cowboys averaged a respectable 60 points per game in 2010-2011, they shot only 29.4% from three point range.   Krehbiel’s two returning senior starters shot 19% and 32% respectively as juniors.   He knew his team was at risk of another season facing packed in zones and a disappointing early exit from the tournament.   That’s when he decided to make 94Fifty a key tool for his off-season skill development strategy.</p>
<p>“The 94Fifty motion sensor basketballs and software are amazingly accurate in measuring shooting and ball-handling skills.  It gave me the ability to assess all the skills of my players – ball-handling and shooting – in a very objective and precise way.  I looked at the NOAH system, but I just thought that we needed something that could measure and monitor all skills like shot speed, shot arc, and ball-handling.  My players like how 94Fifty creates game like, high-intensity skill tests that force them to hone their skills in order to score well.  It provides immediate feedback, precise diagnostics, and personalized recommended drills based on the weaknesses that it sees. “</p>
<p><strong>“More than anything, 94Fifty changed our workout culture.”</strong><br />
Beginning in June of 2011, he selected four key players for the upcoming year to work on their skills – two new sophomores with promise and his two returning starters.  He knew that this group brought experience and talent, but had some serious deficiencies that needed attention.  Like many young players today, they liked to play pick up games, or goof around in open gym, but he needed a way to change how they approached their personal practice time.   Once 94Fifty arrived, he quickly tested his players shooting mechanics and ball-handling skills and used the information to get their attention.</p>
<p>“My players were motivated by being able to compare their own skills to college level skills.  It drove them to practice harder and the right way.  It’s not some gimmick – it forced them to practice their skills in real-time, game like, competitive environments.  The instant scoring was a key feature that drove intensity. “</p>
<p>For their shooting issues, 94Fifty was able to identify the shot arc and shot speed deficiencies for all 4 players, and then recommend drills to help correct the issues.</p>
<p>“The shooting improvement was profound.  My players quickly learned to appreciate not only the importance of practicing the right mechanics, but also to shoot quickly while maintaining those mechanics.   The system is so accurate in analyzing weaknesses and so objective that kids listen to the feedback I give them.  The workouts that the system suggested were outstanding; personalizing the drills for each player’s needs.   My players locked onto those drills and improved dramatically in just a matter of a couple of months.”<br />
Krehbiel would use 94Fifty every two weeks to re-test the skill-development progress of his players.  For each test, he would put his players through a series of short, game speed shooting and ball-handling drills measured by the motion sensors in the balls so that his players could see their own improvements and make any necessary adjustments.   “It’s was important for my players to see their improvements and progress in shorter time intervals and it kept them motivated to continue to work on the little details that make a huge difference.”</p>
<p><strong>94Fifty Delivers Championship Results</strong><br />
The results of Krehbiel’s decision to choose 94Fifty were profound.  The Cowboys captured the Nebraska C-1 state title while going 27-1.  They led the state in scoring at over 75 points per game, up from 60 per game the previous year.  Each of the four players using 94Fifty shot greater than 40% from three point range, shooting over 350 threes for the season.   His two returning seniors, who had shot 19% and 32% from the previous year, shot 40% and 45% respectively from the three this year.    Both are now heading off to play college basketball.</p>
<p>“Once we demonstrated to ourselves and to our opponents that we had multiple three point threats, teams couldn’t pack in their zones anymore.   My players actually got excited to see a zone because they had the confidence in their shooting mechanics to knock it down.”  Krehbiel also credits his player’s understanding of shot speed for knocking down a key shot during the state title game, where one of his 94Fifty seniors drained a big three from the corner in the final minutes with a defender closing fast.  “A year before, he never gets that shot off because he couldn’t shoot quickly enough,” added Krehbiel, who was named Coach of the Year.  The Cowboys won the state title Game 58-55.</p>
<p>While there are many factors that impact a championship teams’ success, Krehbiel is quick to point out where 94Fifty had the greatest impact.  “More than anything, it helped me to communicate ways to improve with these players that produced results.  It changed the workout culture of my entire team.”</p>
<p>For a school with the unique challenges and mission of Boys Town, the skills and discipline retained by their players about the benefits of focus, dedication, and persistence will last a lifetime.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>Perennial Contender Adopts Latest Technologies to Build On Past Success</em></strong></p>
<p>Chicago, IL<em> </em>(<em>December 15</em>, 2011)<em> – Two time </em>state champion Fenwick High School girls basketball program has gone high tech, recently implementing a new advanced technology that utilizes a suite of motion sensors inside the basketball designed to measure and track muscle memory development for rapid skill development.</p>
