Caribbean Basketball Networks
The Frenzy

Recently, the basketball Mecca of the universe, has turned its attention to the Caribbean, among other countries to get talented young prospects into the american system in hopes of grooming them for future success. It’s much like the elapsing of markets syndrome experienced by bigger wider known brands I.e. The Coke and Pepsi, Nike and Adidas lines and their market share stake in America. So in the sense of good business all entities must look outside of it borders to continue to feed the machine which exist. So with the attention being turned elsewhere and little or no structure being set up to receive such attention where the attention is being given; frenzy ensues and questions of credibility arise and linger greatly.

Caribbean Basketball Networks Players Edge ©  Former Milwaukee Bucks Trainer Mike Jelich

Professional Trainer and Coach Mke Jelich , owner and founder of NUbody, Inc., said he was doing some jogging one day and he had a visualization as he was about to start runnin up a steep hill. Jelich says “The crazy idea popped into his head, that maybe professional teams and athletes would improve their performance if they had a personal trainer on staff.” Mr. Jelich, a workout fiend himself, was so blown and inspired by this idea that he stopped, ran home and started right away at weaving together his ideas into a presentation and a business plan. After a meeting with some of the executives of the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks, the next day they returned his call, snapped some pictures and it was official, Mike Jelich was the first personal strength and conditioning coach for the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks franchise. As they say, the rest is history.
