MISSION
Next Play's mission is to provide high quality coaching and attention to individual development with a multi-faceted approach. We prioritize building mindsets, empowering players with confidence, increasing everyone's skill level, and giving players the tools to handle adversity in sport while still being able to re-focus. Confidence building paired with skill building allows athletes to reach their full potential and Next Play commits to providing these factors to each player in our program.

Know Niki Mccoy
As the founder of Next Play, Hall of Fame inductee, Coach, and competitor at some of the highest levels of the game, I have seen how our mental health and mindsets so deeply impact an athlete's level of success. When playing basketball, emotional IQ and basketball IQ go hand in hand. I wanted to start a program that prioritized the pairing of mental health and individual skill development by teaching players how to understand the importance of and cultivate the skills to use both in order to reach their full potential.

Everyone on Next Play's coaching staff is committed to this style and understand that implementing a mental health program in sport is not just a curriculum, but an everyday, in game, and in practice approach. To provide this type of teaching, we have high level coaches including multiple Hall of Fame inductees along with former and current D1 all the way through NAIA College level players.
