TRAINING BASED IN MARION, OH AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES

BUILDING CHAMPIONS ON AND OFF THE COURT

At Whatever It Takes University, we train more than skills. We train the game inside and out through mindset, systems, strategies and accountability.

FOUNDER AND HEAD COACH

COACH SHAWN DYER

Shawn Dyer created Whatever It Takes University as a roadmap for serious basketball players to get serious results. A proven winner on the court, Shawn built his career on discipline and execution: a 126–15 collegiate record at the DII level, 1,814 career points, and a 43% career three point shooter. His journey is proof that consistency, preparation, and standards produce real results. Now, he brings that same blueprint to the next generation —showing players how to develop their own high-performance mindset.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

EMPOWERMENT THROUGH EVERY REP

+ Mindset - no confidence = no game. We build mental toughness to handle pressure.

+ Strategy - every drill has a purpose. no wasted motion.

+ Systems - discipline > motivation. Showing up when the newness wears off. The W.I.T. Way

+ Accountability - if you want real results, you have to be held to a higher standard.
