Meet Tim Crouthers of Dream Believe Achieve Basketball in Boulder

Today we’d like to introduce you to Tim Crouthers.

Tim, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
We are a club basketball program located in Boulder, CO. We are a newly started club basketball program. The COVID-19 virus has changed a lot of “normal” life. I am a high school basketball coach of 11 years. As I saw so many of our athletic and team opportunities diminish and vanish, I wanted to create something that would be a positive outlet for athletes and kids. We strive to serve the community in meeting that desire that so many athletes and families have to be a part of athletics and take advantage of the opportunities it creates! We currently have no fees or dues, as our priority is to ensure that cost of the club does not become the preventative reason for participation. Our goals are to offer the opportunity for athletes and families to decide to opt into a club basketball experience like no other. Thankfully, we are blessed to have many supporters and donors that aid our long term sustainability for the club.

All of the practices and game events are completely optional. Each family and athlete can choose the best course of action for them. All of our coaches are experienced in the sport of basketball on many levels, have coached for multiple years, and are exceptional leaders. We focus on creating a positive experience for everyone involved and building strong teams and team culture! Anyone is welcome to join, and anything can happen – so dream BIG!

Has it been a smooth road?
It is a constant challenge to grow in these times. I understand and respect the reality of the world we are living in and adapting to. Our club upholds the safest and healthiest standards we can to ensure the care of our athletes is top-notch. Things like the virus, air quality, and more are ever-present challenges in how we operate and grow on every level. We have to remain flexible in our schedules and practice locations and times so that we can balance those challenges and still have time to connect as a team and grow our athletes.

So, as you know, we’re impressed with Dream Believe Achieve Basketball – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of and what sets you apart from others.
We are a club basketball program that aims to grow to multiple levels of athletes, teams, and skill levels. We coach hard, play hard, and have a ton of fun! We are known for our positivity, and what sets us apart is our understanding and teaching of how peak performance is achieved and sustained. We develop leaders, practice resiliency, and genuinely connect with athletes so that we can best understand what tools to give and develop for those kids to find success on and off the court. We truly care about our athletes more as people than we do as players, and that makes me incredibly proud!

Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
Boulder is such a beautiful backdrop for some basketball! The mountains and flatirons here are gorgeous, just second to none!

We share the court space a lot right now since it is difficult to rent gym space. Boulder has a lot of fun activities take place on the basketball courts that are not basketball, haha, like yoga, dance/movement classes 🙂 sharing is all good, though!
