Brian A.

I'm Brian from Mississippi and I played high school at the Piney Woods Country Life School where I was a two time team MVP, led my school to three State 2A Championships. I also was a top 50 recruit in the country in the class of 1996 along with Lester Earl, Kobe Bryant, Tim Thomas, and Mike Bibby. I played college basketball at Alcorn State University where I was the 1996-1997 Freshman of The Year. Also, I helped lead Alcorn State to two SWAC Championships as well as being invited to the Michael Jordan basketball camp in the summer of 1998 and 1999. After college, I played in Europe for four years in Germany, Norway, and Portugal afterwards I returned to my alma mater to coach under former NBA player/coach Larry Smith for two seasons.

I'm now into individual skills training and group training as well. I specialize on all skills and every position because I want kids to be able to do everything. I'm also a former juvenile detention supervision officer and I can pass any background check which is also important. I can help anyone take their game to the next level.
