She goes quiet after a mistake
Head down, hands on hips, silent on the way back. Her teammates feel it — and her coach remembers the response more than the turnover.
Point Guard Blueprint Mentorship
Skills get her
on the floor.
Leadership
keeps her there.
A 6-week mentorship for serious girls point guards ages 12–18 who can play — but go quiet, lose confidence after mistakes, or haven't yet learned how to run a team. Followed by 10.5 months of ongoing resources and support.

01 / For parents watching from the standsDo you recognise
Do you recognise
these 5 signs?
Most point guards don't need more drills. They need someone to teach them the part of the position nobody practices — how to lead, talk, and respond when it gets hard. If you’ve seen this, you’re in the right place.
If you counted even two of these — that’s exactly what the Blueprint was built to fix. Not with more handles. With mentorship.
She can run the play, but she doesn’t run the team
She knows the sets, but she isn’t talking first, directing traffic, or bringing the huddle together when the game speeds up.
Her teammates don’t look to her yet
In timeouts, after a run by the other team, or on the last possession — the eyes go somewhere else. Trust hasn’t been built yet.
She tries to make it all back herself
One mistake turns into a forced shot or a hero play. She cares so much that she stops making the next right play for the team.
Her confidence swings game to game
A great game and she’s flying. A tough game and she questions if she belongs at point guard at all. She doesn’t need more talent — she needs a steady system for confidence, habits, and response that doesn’t depend on whether shots fall.

how she leads.
Then a year to make it stick.
This isn’t a camp, a clinic, or a packet of drills. It’s personal mentorship from a point guard who lived the undersized, overlooked version of this story — and earned a college scholarship doing it the way she now teaches.

The 6 focus areas
A complete point guard systemLeading
How to be the player teammates look at in the huddle — calm, clear, and first to take responsibility.
Communicating
Early, clear, constant. What to actually say on defense, in transition, and when she’s bringing the ball up.
Owning the Next Play
The 5 seconds after a mistake decide everything. Own it fast, sprint back, talk — and make the next right play.
Executing Under Pressure
Seeing the floor early, making reads, and staying steady when the game is loud, fast, and on the line.
Habits, Rest & Recovery
Sleep, preparation, and daily habits that protect her confidence and keep her ready to lead all season.
Faith & Confidence
An identity bigger than one game. Serving her team, playing with humility, and trusting who she’s becoming.

Coached by a point guard
who had to earn trust.
“I wasn’t the biggest point guard on the floor. I learned to see it early, talk first, and make everyone else better. That’s how I earned a scholarship — and that’s what I teach.”
Coach Jae Taft is 5'3". She wasn’t handed the point guard role because of size or hype — she earned a college scholarship by being the most trusted player on the floor.
At Vision Basketball Academy in Denver, Jae has built a training home specifically for girls — where skill matters, but leadership, communication, and character are what separate players. The Point Guard Blueprint is her mentorship version of that work: personal, honest, and built for families who want more than another trainer.
On YouTube (@jaetaft) and Instagram (@coachjaetaft / @visionbasketballacademy), thousands of families follow her follow-along workouts and point guard lessons. The Blueprint is where that teaching becomes personal.

05 / Honest fit checkIs this right
Is this right
for your family?
Jae would rather tell you “not yet” than take a spot from an athlete who needs it more. Read both sides before you apply.
This IS for her if…
- She plays point guard (or is moving to PG) and takes the game seriously
- She’s coachable, willing to talk more, lead more, and be held accountable
- You want a system and a mentor — not a quick fix or highlight package
- You’re ready to support new habits at home: rest, preparation, and how you talk after games
This is NOT for her if…
- You’re only looking for handles / shooting drills — regular VBA training is a better fit for that
- She doesn’t want to lead or communicate — this program will ask her to do both, every session
- You want guarantees about starting spots, stats, or scholarships — Jae teaches what she can control, honestly
- She isn’t ready to do the work between sessions

3 steps.
Get set up on Voxer.
Jae connects with her on Voxer for direct voice/text mentorship — questions, check-ins, and feedback between sessions happen there.
She completes her athlete intake form.
In her own words: how she feels as a point guard right now, what’s hardest, and what she most wants to improve. Jae builds from that — not a generic plan.
She receives her first action step.
One clear, do-this-week step from Jae based on her intake — so momentum starts immediately, before week 1 is even over.
06 / Questions parents askBefore
Before
you apply.
What ages is this for?
Serious girls basketball players ages 12–18 who play point guard — or are being moved to point guard and need to learn the role properly.
How long is the program?
6 weeks of core mentorship with Coach Jae, followed by 10.5 months of resources and community in Skool — so she has support for a full year, not just six weeks.
When does she start?
Rolling start. Once your conversation and fit check are complete and you enrol, she starts — you don’t wait for the next cohort.
Why don’t you list the price and sign-up link here?
Because spots are personal and limited. Jae talks to every family first, confirms it’s the right fit, then sends the price, payment-plan option, and private sign-up link directly. That protects your family and the athletes already in the program.
Is this different from regular Vision Basketball Academy training?
Yes. VBA training builds skills. The Blueprint is mentorship for the point guard role itself — leadership, communication, mistake response, habits, and confidence. Many families do both; this page is only for the Blueprint.
What should we ask her after games once she starts?
Start with: “How did you respond after a mistake?” and “Did you talk first?” You’ll be surprised how much more you learn — and how much steadier she becomes when home reinforces the same language.
