JC set to host Treadmill Mentality Academy

Former WVU guard Jevon Carter is returning to Morgantown

One of the great West Virginia University guards of all-time is hosting a basketball camp in Morgantown.

The two-time Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and two-time National Defensive Player of the Year, Jevon Carter, is making his way back to Morgantown! From July 7th - 9th, Carter will be hosting his inaugural Treadmill Mentality Academy, a youth-basketball Summer camp, at Mylan Park.

"For my first camp, I'm going to do it in West Virginia...", Carter mentioned in a recent interview with Milwaukee Bucks reporter, Zora Stephenson, ".. I'm going to go back there because they love me. Win, lose, or draw, no matter what .. They always show love.".

Though Carter has always spoken on his "Treadmill Mentality" and given credit to his days as a Mountaineer for this, it wasn't until February of 2023 when Carter and his significant other, Taylor Houston, decided to form Treadmill Mentality Foundation. The mission of this foundation remains simple: To support the well-being of children and families through community initiatives. Carter and Houston wanted to be able to touch those where they felt they were needed, and not limit themselves to a certain cause. To help support the mission of their foundation, all proceeds from Treadmill Mentality Academy will go to the Treadmill Mentality Foundation.

Treadmill Mentality Academy will give campers the opportunity to be coached by Carter's lead trainer, Robert Shaw, along with a team of specialized trainers. Campers will be able to compete in daily competitions, receive focused team training, and be able to interact with Carter and special guests in person.

To register your camper or for more information, visit the Treadmill Mentality website at https://www.treadmillmentality.com and follow the Instagram page, @treadmillmentality.
