"Every year we work with the most talented basketball stars who are looking to shine during pre-Draft evaluations, hone their skills, and become an NBA player," said Joe Abunassar, renowned trainer, founder of IMPACT Basketball and president of Herbalife IMPACT Basketball Center in Las Vegas. "We've created a winning program that teaches these athletes what to expect and provides the training and nutrition to achieve maximum performance."

IMPACT Basketball's training facility is recognized for its exceptional roster of NBA players and prospects, including Herbalife-sponsored athletes Blake Wesley of the San Antonio Spurs and Ziaire Williams of the Memphis Grizzlies – both former first-round NBA Draft picks.

The Herbalife IMPACT Basketball Center focuses on the four pillars of basketball, including skill development, strength and conditioning, nutrition, and mental training. It includes a dynamic warm-up, skills and combined stations, and competitive drills. The athletes are tested on the court and undergo an educational program focused on nutrition and mental preparation.

"While training at IMPACT Basketball, I spent the majority of my day training, and there I learned the importance of properly fueling my body to handle the rigors of the game," said Blake Wesley, shooting guard for the San Antonio Spurs and first-round NBA Draft pick in 2022. "During my pre-Draft training, I was introduced to the Herbalife24® product line, and I stay hydrated with CR7 Drive*** before and between workout sessions and Rebuild Strength*** after workouts to help with muscle recovery," added Wesley.

Ziaire Williams, the 10th overall pick in 2021 from Stanford, has participated in the program for the past two years, and his go-to, Herbalife24 Rebuild Strength Strawberry Shortcake, is designed to help athletes recover, repair, and support the growth of muscles immediately after a workout.
