Basketball Quizzes

---

Why I made it

I built Basketball Quizzes after spending a few months learning programming and realizing that the resources for learning about basketball strategy lagged far behind other fields like coding.

Most guides on strategy came in the form of very dry instructional videos. I'm a big proponent of active learning, so I made a quiz format that forced students to interact with material. The demand was definitely there. The site went viral, and I had basketball coaches from around the country telling me that they were using Basketball Quizzes to teach their players.

Basketball Quizzes has now been recreated internally for Division I college and NBA teams. It's helped tens of thousands of people learn more about basketball, and I've partnered with a college coach to continue making free high-quality learning resources for the community.

What I learned

Basketball Quizzes was the first major project that I built by myself. I learned how to envision a product that I thought would help people, plan it out, and then build it.

I programmed Basketball Quizzes using vanilla JavaScript. I initally based it off a YouTube tutorial, but expanded my code way further after several weeks of working on it. I learned how to register domain names, deploy pages on Netlify and GitHub pages, and use Git for version control.
