High School: CCA
One of the top scorers in Florida in scoring at one point averaging 29ppg, only trailing some of the nation’s top recruits. I was second in Florida in three pointers made with a percentage of 48 and was the three point champion for my district. I named first team all county with three of the nations top players and named honorable mention all-state and made the South Atlantic Coast All Conference team. On the 15th of February, I was nominated to be a Mcdonalds All American. I reach the 1000 point mark and in the last couple of games of the season and became the all time leading scorer for CCA with 1,553 points, the all time leader in assist , three pointers made, steals, and three pointers made in a game with. I was selected to play in a few all star games, one being held in the American Airlines Area.
College: UNK/Hastings
Went on to earn a full scholarship to a Division ll institution where I had a stand out freshman season, setting the schools record for threes made in one game going 9 out of 11 attempts against the #2 ranked team in the nation. Finished the year among the top in points, assist, steal, 3pt% and 3pm. In my final season as a student athlete I was able to lead my team to another successful 20 win season. I went to earn a degree in Exercise Science with a Minor in coach. My goal is to use the knowledge that I have in those fields and implement them into my training.
My training session typically last an hour to an hour and a half. Being that this is a partnership I want the client to tell me what he/she needs help with. For example, if my client is a great shooter but a poor ball handler, I will focus more of the session toward ball handling. This will aid the player in being more versatile and as you can see that is what the game is evolving into today. I am very passionate and creative when it come to training. The last thing you want is a bored athlete and being that there are many ways to execute a technique, it is important that you change it up to avoid any possible burn out. Basketball has done so much for my life and I want to help others experience the same and more.
