New book "The Call beyond the game"
Coming March 10, 2026 — A New Book That Reminds Us Why the Game Exists
Before packed arenas. Before signature sneakers. Before highlight reels and social media clips, basketball began with a purpose.
Invented by James Naismith, the game was designed to teach discipline, self-control, character, and teamwork. It wasn’t created for fame or fortune—it was created to shape hearts and lives.
As the game grew, its impact stretched far beyond the hardwood. Basketball became a powerful platform to spread hope, inspire purpose, and most importantly, honor God. Long before the crowds cheered, basketball was already doing its real work—reaching people where they were. From its very beginning, basketball was always more than just a game., it was a mission.
About the Book
The Call Beyond the Game explores the deeper meaning behind basketball’s origins and its ongoing influence as a tool for transformation. This book challenges players, coaches, parents, and leaders to see the game not just as competition—but as a calling.
If you’ve ever believed that basketball can shape character, open doors, and point lives toward something greater, this book is for you.

Testimonial
"
As a former college and professional basketball player, and current college coach with over twenty five years of experience, I have a firm grasp on the importance of growth and skill development when it comes to evaluating, assessing, and training basketball players to maximize their skill level. Will Vance embodies every essential characteristic of the ideal basketball skill instructor. His experience and passion for the game, combined with his love for teaching the game holistically is what separates him from other basketball trainers. I will continue to recommend players of all ages to Will because I know they will receive far more than just a return on their investment. They will gain a lifelong advocate, on and off the court
