At The Bubble and through Elevate to Assist Skills Foundation, we don't just train athletes on their basketball skills – we train their mentality. The Bubble Mentality is more than just a mindset; it's a way of life that teaches athletes how to approach every challenge, on and off the court, with grit, discipline, and unwavering belief in themselves.
This mentality is built on the principles of hard work, resilience, and self-belief, which sets The Bubble apart. It’s about embracing the grind, pushing through obstacles, and never settling for less than your best.
At The Bubble, we make it clear from the start that nothing comes easy. Success requires effort, dedication, and sacrifice. Whether you’re training to improve your game or facing obstacles in life, the Bubble Mentality teaches you that you have to earn everything. The message is clear: Don’t expect things to be handed to you; go out and take them.
The Bubble Mentality demands an unparalleled work ethic. It’s not about what others are doing; it’s about what you are willing to do to push yourself further. The mindset is the same in the gym, on the court, or in your personal life: Outwork everyone else. Effort is controllable. Champions are putting in the extra work when no one else is watching.
Excellence is built through consistent hard work, and grit is key. The Bubble Mentality teaches athletes that there are no shortcuts to greatness. You must embrace the grind and find joy in the process of becoming better every day, knowing that each rep, each drill, and each sweat-drenched practice brings you closer to your goals.
Life and sports both come with setbacks. The Bubble Mentality teaches athletes that failure is not the end, but a stepping stone. How you respond to setbacks defines your character. Athletes learn how to bounce back from mistakes, setbacks, and challenges with a positive attitude and a determination to keep moving forward.
Confidence isn’t given; it’s earned. The Bubble Mentality builds confidence through discipline and hard work. When you put in the work and see the results, you grow your self-belief. Our athletes don’t just talk about being confident—they act with confidence because they know the work they've put in.
The road to success is a journey, not a sprint. The Bubble Mentality emphasizes the importance of trusting the process and respecting the journey, even when the results aren’t immediate. Patience and consistency are key. And just as importantly, athletes are taught to trust in themselves and their abilities. You have the tools; now it’s time to believe in them and stay focused on the long-term goal.
Respect is at the heart of everything we do at The Bubble. Athletes are taught to respect themselves, their teammates, their coaches, their opponents, and the game itself. Respect starts with how you carry yourself—showing humility in victory, grace in defeat, and integrity in all your actions. The Bubble Mentality instills that by treating others with dignity and showing respect for the process, you’ll grow as an athlete
and a person.
Success isn’t just personal—it’s communal. Athletes are encouraged to share the lessons they’ve learned and assist those coming behind them. By helping others grow, they not only strengthen the community but also reinforce their own growth and character. This spirit of reciprocation is what makes The Bubble more than just a training facility—it’s a family.
One of the most iconic elements of the Bubble Mentality is the phrase “TOO EASY.” This phrase was popularized by Reggie Brown’s late brother, Jamaal Brown, who used it to express his confidence and unwavering belief in his ability to take on any challenge. Whether it was helping someone move or excelling on the basketball court, Jamaal would often say, “TOO EASY” – showing that nothing in life, no matter how difficult, was too much to handle if you were willing to work for it.
The Bubble Mentality carries that same mindset. No matter the difficulty of the task, the challenge ahead, or the obstacles in the way, we teach our athletes to approach everything with the attitude of “TOO EASY.” It’s not about arrogance; it’s about confidence, preparedness, and mentality – the kind of mindset that gets you through the toughest times with poise, focus, and determination.
The Bubble Mentality extends far beyond basketball. While we emphasize athletic development,
the principles we instill in our athletes prepare them for life off the court as well.
The same discipline it takes to wake up early for practice, and stay after for extra shots, or push through when you're tired is the discipline you need in life—whether in
school, work, or personal relationships.
Just like in basketball, where you’ll miss shots and make mistakes, life is full of challenges. The Bubble Mentality teaches athletes to keep going, even when the
going gets tough.
The confidence and hard work that athletes develop at The Bubble translate into leadership qualities. Leaders are made through consistent
work and self-belief.
The ability to stay focused, block out distractions, and push through adversity is invaluable. The Bubble Mentality strengthens athletes mentally, preparing
them for any challenges life may throw at them.
Respect starts with how you carry yourself—showing
humility in victory, grace in defeat, and integrity in all your actions. Trusting the process and respecting the journey, even when the results aren’t immediate.

Our training philosophy extends to every sport, from tennis and swimming to soccer and wrestling. We provide the same principles of hard work, dedication, and resilience across the board, ensuring that athletes of all disciplines receive the specialized attention they need to succeed.
While we offer sport-specific training, we also believe in developing well-rounded athletes. The foundational skills athletes learn at The Bubble can be applied across different sports, and often, the crossover can lead to improvements in unexpected areas.
For example:
• A basketball player’s agility can improve their football or soccer performance.
• A volleyball player’s vertical leap can enhance their basketball or track and field results.
