I have 12 years of personal skill development training. I train athletes of all ages and levels ranging from elementary school to professionals players. I train every aspect of basketball. I think its prudent on training the mind and allowing the body to follow. I'm a stickler for footwork. I breakdown every skill and move to coachable lessons so the athlete can learn by taking the proper steps to master a particular skill. I train the athlete on ball-handling, shooting, defense, core, stability, strength & conditioning, agility, basketball IQ, reading screens, read and reaction situations and much more. I train from a college/pro skill set but simple enough for the younger athletes to grasp, understand and apply. I meet the players where they are pertaining to their perspective skill level.

I start with a dynamic warmup, stretching, then ball handling, agility, form shooting and then the individual need of the player. Proper footwork, ball-handling and shooting is a must in my workouts, no matter their position. I believe that you can always improve on these three aspects of the game the most. It's all about repetition. I train positions 1-5. I believe in uplifting, encouraging and speaking life into the players. This game is based highly on self-confidence. This can make or break any athlete.

A typical session depends on what the athlete is in need of. If the player is a guard, we will work on guard material. If the player is a forward/big, we will work on material pertaining to their individual game. I can and will adjust to the player.
