Where strategy meets passion — this is Basketball Orbit
Helping coaches worldwide grow stronger teams
My Journey
Hi, I'm Chris Bernhard, the founder of Basketball Orbit — a coaching platform for basketball drills, practical resources, and the Practice Planner. Basketball has been a huge part of my life. Growing up in Germany, I fell in love with the game and have been lucky to play it for most of my life. Over the years, my passion evolved into coaching, where I've worked with players and teams of all levels, from beginners to experienced athletes.
Why Basketball Orbit
Coaching can be challenging — planning practices, teaching concepts, and motivating players isn't always easy. That's why I started Basketball Orbit: to share the strategies and tools I've learned to help coaches like you create confident, successful teams.
What You'll Get Here
On my YouTube channel, I focus on practical drills, modern concepts, and strategies for youth and senior teams alike. My goal is simple: to help you grow as a coach and take your team to the next level. Basketball is about more than just winning. It's about teamwork, resilience, and having fun. Join me on this journey, and let's build stronger teams together.
