As the basketball season enters its most critical mid-season stretch, maintaining shooting consistency and on-court execution often determines whether a team can sustain momentum and reach ultimate victory.
January 2026, the highly anticipated Asia Elite Basketball Camp, organized by Advance Basketball Academy, will return to Taipei and Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Led by an NBA personal trainer, the camp delivers the most efficient developmental methods for players of all levels—helping athletes elevate performance and push toward end-of-season success.
This camp focuses on two major objectives: Mid-Season Skill Enhancement and Three-Point Shooting Development. The program is designed to help players perform consistently deep into the fourth quarter, sharpening long-range accuracy and decision-making under pressure. The camp will be directed and taught personally by renowned global basketball educator and NBA personal trainer Shawn Faust.

Shawn is widely known for developing players’ rhythm, shot creation, pressure shooting, and late-game composure—earning him recognition as one of the top specialists in clutch performance development.
Three Core Themes of the Winter Camp: Building Players Who Win Games：
- Mid-Season Maintenance & Advancement：Players will refine skills and game IQ through efficient, targeted training—helping them sustain rhythm, increase efficiency, and continue performing at a high level through the demanding mid-season period.
- Three-Point Shooting Enhancement：Through tactical concepts, pressure-based simulations, and game-realistic drills, athletes will improve their long-range stability and shooting range. The camp emphasizes advanced skills such as space creation, catch-and-shoot rhythm, and shot consistency—making every three-point attempt sharper and more reliable.
- Clutch-Time Decision-Making & Execution：Training focuses on reading defenses, creating space, and generating quality shots in late-game scenarios. Players learn pick-and-roll options, pressure execution, and how to maintain calm clarity in high-stress moments. Shawn’s expertise ensures athletes experience what it means to be colder and calmer than the opponent.
