A typical session will start with ball handling drills to warmup, with some jogs down the court to loosen the body up. Then we will move into form shooting around the rim and mid range to find our touch. Once warm we will work on different single moves, double moves and counters that I have planned for you for the session. Do spot shooting along with other drills and I always end with a little free throw shooting game. I always try and tailor my schedule according to the individual I am training. My main focus is to teach the fundamentals of the game and proper technique.

Client Reviews

Professional, friendly, easy to work with, and rigorous trainer.

For me, a great mix of ball-handling and shooting. He found great ways to test me while also being encouraging. Also, on the day after the "Hurricane Hilary" tropical storm, he was very flexible in shifting our time around in order to make it work, despite losing our original time slot due to the storm. Great balance of being pushed and also getting positive reinforcement.

Excellent!

Excellent coach. Punctual and knowledgeable. Thank you booking more time!

Ashanti has been great. Our son loves his approach and style.

Coach Ashanti was fantastic...good personality, very knowledgeable and a great set of tailored drills. My daughter really enjoyed the session.

Coach Ashanti showed up early and was ready to go. We got right into great drills and we worked continually for the hour.
I will be using the Coach more as my schedule permits and would recommend the Coach to any serious players out there!

Coach Ashanti is GREAT- all across the board. Super knowledgeable, experienced (check out his resume), and knows how to relate to kids! My 9yo son is learning a lot of great technique, all while getting great exercise… and their chemistry makes it all the better. Highly recommend!

Nice coach with great skills

We had a really good workout, loves how Coach Cook taught me about how to read the floor. He also willing to push and motivate you during your workout. Definitely recommend him if you are willing to get better.

As a high school player here in LA, it's great to be able to learn from a player who has competed at high levels throughout his career: Westchester High School, Georgetown University and overseas. As a player still competing, he has firsthand knowledge of how the game is evolving, and does not hesitate to share what he has learned playing against other top players with me. Ashanti constantly pushes me to be better, and he drills me on everything from shooting to working off the pick- and -roll to passing. Every session, we practice the fundamentals and then slowly add on them, progressing from single moves, to double moves, counters, etc. His drills perfectly teach me the skills needed to compete on my high school team. His attitude is amazing, never once is he negative, yet he finds ways to draw out the best from you. While he works you hard, he does so in a way that makes you enjoy it and forget that you are sweating and tired.
Ashanti Cook is truly an excellent trainer. He has found a perfect balance of being tough on you when you're not working hard enough ("Will you are KILLING me! Game Speed!") and being supportive so you know when you are doing something right ("Very good Will, repeat it just like that), and he works with the whole person mentally, emotionally and physically. Because of his efforts, my basketball IQ is much higher, I am a better shooter, stronger ball handler, physically stronger, more confident, and most importantly, training hard and being pushed to my limits with Ashanti. With Ashanti I have had the most fun playing basketball i have had in my life. Finding Ashanti has given me another opportunity to live out my athletic dreams that i didn't think i still had. I recommend him without reservation.
