🏆 Congratulations to Henry for earning the PDM Player of the Month honours for the month of October sponsored by @oakvillesbestwings . He continues to show up to practice ready to improve himself but he also is focused on helping his teammates learn and grow. Henry is taking on more of a leadership role this year as he understands what it’s going to take to get the most out of his team. He’s been putting in the work with both his basketball and leadership skills which is what we love to see as coaches. He is bringing the intensity and focus each and every practice and his dedication to his team is obvious. Keep up the great work Henry! 👏🏽

PDM VALUES

It’s not always about winning and losing but rather learning and growing so that when winning matters, the habits are in place to help you succeed.

purpose

Our player development goes further than just coaching the game. We believe in teaching our players values that translate both on and off the court through an intentional and dedicated approach.

driven

We encourage each player to step outside their comfort zone and to embrace failure. Without failure, we cannot learn, so we stay driven through obstacles and adversity confident that we have tools to overcome.

Mentality

Our coaching staff is committed to representing ourselves on and off the court the right way. We stay positive and focused on improvement to set the example of what being mentally strong is.
