” Bout that Life ” AAU Basketball and Life talk Episode 70: Shooting Secrets, NIL & Loyalty — Real Talk with Coach C. Collins

Welcome to another engaging episode of the Bout That Life Podcast, hosted by Coach C. Collins. From the YBA/Phenix Fitness 24-7 Basketball Facility in Rocklin, California, Coach Collins dives deep into conversations about basketball, life, and everything in between.

Coach C. Collins sits down with shooting specialist Leo Svete and trainer/coach Angel Marquez to break down the state of youth basketball in 2025. They cover Euro-style development vs. U.S. AAU culture, practical shooting tips, and how to balance skill work with game experience.

The episode also tackles bigger issues: NIL and college eligibility, content creators and troll teams, parental roles, player loyalty, and how to prepare mentally and physically for higher levels. Practical advice and real stories aim to help players, parents, and coaches navigate the modern basketball landscape.

The landscape of college basketball and sports in general keeps changing and having the discussions help to give everyone the best way to navigate this community, as always no punches are pulled and we will have some real conversation.
