About Me
Personal and Player Development Coach
Hello, I'm Coach Eric Bell, founder of the Players Development Club (PDC), and my mission is simple yet profound: to empower young athletes to reach their fullest potential—on and off the court. With an extensive background spanning high school, college, and professional basketball in Europe, I’ve experienced firsthand the rigorous demands and invaluable lessons that sports impart. But I also know that true success in sports isn’t just about physical ability; it’s about mastering the mental game, developing emotional resilience, and cultivating a disciplined approach to life.
Over more than a decade, I’ve dedicated myself to working with young athletes, helping them develop the skills, mindsets, and habits that lead to both athletic and personal growth. Transitioning into coaching allowed me to focus on what I believe to be the pillars of sustainable success: mental fortitude, emotional intelligence, and life skills that serve far beyond the playing field.
At the Players Development Club, I’ve created a space where athletes are supported holistically. My coaching approach is personalized and transformative, designed to bring out each athlete's unique strengths while addressing the areas that need growth. Whether it’s building confidence, instilling a winning mindset, or developing the discipline to persevere through challenges, I am dedicated to providing the guidance young athletes need to thrive in sports—and in life.
In a world that often focuses only on the scoreboard, my vision for PDC is to redefine what success means for young athletes. I want every player I work with to leave not just as a stronger athlete, but as a more resilient, self-aware, and confident individual ready to tackle any challenge that life may throw their way.
If you’re ready to embark on a journey of excellence with a coach who’s committed to holistic development, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
