Wilson Presents on Coaching Leadership at USA Basketball Coach Academy in Atlanta
This past September, Charles “Hal” Wilson, Jr., professor in the Department of Health Sciences and Kinesiology, was invited to speak on coaching leadership at the USA Basketball Coach Academy in Atlanta, Georgia. This marks Wilson’s 10th invitation to present at a USA Basketball event, having served as a speaker for the organization since 2015, with engagements across the nation.
The USA Basketball Coach Academy is a premier coaching clinic featuring both on- and off-court sessions focused on game strategies, skill development, practice planning and coaching leadership. The event draws top coaches from the NBA, collegiate level and beyond, providing an invaluable learning and networking opportunity for coaches of all levels.
“It is an honor to support USA Basketball’s commitment to growing the game through coach development,” said Wilson. “This mission aligns perfectly with Georgia Southern University’s nationally accredited coaching minor and Master of Science in Kinesiology, with a concentration in coaching education. The 200 coaches in attendance from around the country and the world mirror our master’s program, which attracts students from nearly 40 states and countries. Sport is a universal language, and coaches have a tremendous opportunity and responsibility to create positive environments for their athletes.”
Wilson’s continued involvement with USA Basketball and his leadership at Georgia Southern reflects his dedication to advancing the profession of coaching. His expertise in coaching education continues to inspire coaches worldwide, contributing to the growth of basketball and the development of impactful leaders in sports.
