Do you love the game of basketball? Are you serious about enhancing your skills? EYG Basketball is a player development and skills training organization committed to enhancing skills to elevate players overall game.

We work with dedicated and passionate college, high school, and middle school basketball players in our small group workouts, drop-in workouts, or camps/clinics.

Elevate Your Game was created with its players in mind. EYG Basketball was created by Jordan Long and Galen Harkness to elevate the skills of every athlete who comes to our workouts. We believe that every player who comes to any of our workouts, camps, and clinics is of great importance. We value everyone equally and believe that our personal interaction with them can have a positive impact, not only on them as a player but as an individual.


​We feel strongly that skill development is the number one way that players can elevate their game. Here at EYG players will come to the gym and develop a purpose when they practice the game of basketball. Not only will they walk away better players but they will have the tools that will take their game to the next level.

Hi, I'm Galen Harkness. I am the Owner and Basketball Player Development Coach for EYG Basketball. I am deeply committed to helping basketball players gain new skills and play with confidence. As the director of the Elevation Basketball Academy, we teach, train, and inspire youth players to gain their confidence through hardwork and the love of the game as well as we train high school and college players year round through small group workouts and drop-in workouts to insure their playmaking abilities are ready for their specific competitive situations. The fall training, Elite 8 Player Development Program,  is an 8 week season prep skills program focused on getting high school players equipped and ready for the season.

Our Training

Picture
For years, I have been passionate about basketball player development and helping players maximize their impact on their teams. I finally decided to follow my passion and deliberately focus on it. My mission is to help dedicated basketball players elevate their skills and playmaking sense so they can become an impact player on their team.

Now, I provide a variety of training opportunities for college, high school, middle school, and youth basketball players. Several times a year EYG directs the Elevation Basketball Academy along with  the annual Elite 8 Player Development Program, and Small Group Workouts with Jordan Long

I also offer private or semi-private workouts for players too. During these sessions we really customize the workouts to maximize your personal training needs.
​
My goal is to elevate the skills and confidence of basketball players that positively impacts their basketball experience as well as allows them to perform at their best.  If you consider yourself a dedicated basketball player - someone who wants more out of themselves - then our training is for you. 

My Biography

I am a former college assistant coach as well as a former head high school coach who has experienced success at each level. During each coaching opportunity I worked with competitive and dedicated basketball players who committed themselves to the process of getting better, and through that process have go on to positively impact their basketball programs. I have been coaching, teaching, and training athletes since my undergraduate years in college.

I really started to love the game of basketball when I was in junior high school which led me to play college basketball at Bethany College. Even during my playing days, I always knew coaching was what I wanted to do because it could have such a positive impact on young peoples lives. In addition to playing in college I have the experience of working at Kansas State University where the program produced 5 professional players as well as won a Big 12 title.  From their I spent time as NCAA Divison II assistant coach at UMSL before becoming the head boys basketball coach at Thornton High School. 

I was a good head and assistant coach, but I really had a passion for developing players. As a result, I left the sideline in 2012 to pursue helping players developing into their best. Now I direct camps, clinics, and a variety of training opportunities for dedicated players.

Since becoming a player development coach and starting EYG Basketball I have been able to work with some of the most impactful people or companies in player development such as The Point Guard College (PGC Basketball), Mike Lee, and Ganon Baker. Also during my coaching days I had the privilege of working basketball camps from Oklahoma State, Iowa State, Purdue, and Colorado.

Meet Jordan Long

Jordan Long
Professional Bio
Jordan began his love for the game of basketball at a very young age.  After nearly 26 years of playing the game he has learned that it takes hard work, dedication, and a great passion to become great. After playing basketball at a very high level, Jordan is highly motivated to help players reach their personal goals on and off the court. He has a passion for serving others and helping them be the best person they can be. Jordan believes that basketball is just a platform to use the gifts and talents he has been given to help others.

Jordan is a student of the game and after playing for a variety of coaches at many different levels Jordan has learned a multitude of skills and is passionate about passing along his knowledge of the game. He has a great ability to breakdown these different skills and make them practical and enjoyable to all the players he is able to work with. He believes that the fundamentals of the game are the foundation at which each player needs to take their game to the next level. After developing the correct fundamentals a player can then begin to master the skills at which it takes to become great. He also believes that everything that is done is done with a purpose. After his time spent playing Jordan realized one of the things lacking in basketball today, is practicing with a purpose. One of Jordan's goals is that after working with EYG, players will develop a purpose every time they step into a gym.  His goal is to become the best player development coach he can so that you can become your best. 
"Jordan is extremely gifted at teaching and training players to prepare for playing at the next level.  His high level of playing experience, passion for serving others, and basketball knowledge will definitely make you better."

Training experience

Shortly after Jordan's playing experience he began giving back to his community at large by offering individual training sessions
 and small camps.  Jordan started "Longballskills" and for four years trained kids of all ages to help them reach their personal goals. Jordan has since partnered up with Galen and they have created EYG basketball.  Their mission is to elevate your game with unique, personal, and passionate 
instruction designed to raise your skill set and reach your goals on and off the court. "
