Brian T.

Currently the Head Women's Basketball Coach at Yeshiva University. Prior to that, I was on staff at Harvard University and Princeton University. I've also coached Junior College and AAU. I'm a part of the WBCA and have been Gold Certified by USA Basketball. I've been holding private training for 5 years serving the Princeton, NJ community. Age groups are typically 7th-12th grade.

I was Athlete of the Year during my senior year, reflecting my sports excellence in football, basketball, and tennis. As a 2-year starting point guard on the Varsity team, I also was a senior captain. I was a captain in all 3 sports. I played competitive club basketball at Northwestern University, a Division 1 institution.

I'd first do an initial assessment that would cover all major aspects of the game (e.g. dribbling, shooting). Then I'd put together a lesson plan that meets the goal of the client. Here's an example of typical lesson plan:

- Stretching with ball
- Form Shooting - 1-hand
- Form Shooting - 2-hand
- Static Dribbling (10x each)
- 3-level pound dribbles (left/right hand)
- V-dribbles (left/right hand)
- Forward/Backward (left/right hand)
- Crossovers
- Between the legs (switch hands)
- Behind the back (switch hands)
- Motion Dribbling (walks/skips half-court)
- Pound Dribbles (left/right)
- V-Dribbles (left/right)
- Crossovers
- B/w the Legs (switch hands)
- Behind the Back (switch hands)
- U-layups (cut to basket from wing, finish, go to opposite wing, cut to basket...and repeat) - right/left hand layups
- Cone Shooting (line up of cones, dribbling in/between cones and finishing with layup, PUJ, and 3 pointer)
- Same dribbling as described above
- Catch and Shoot
- Teach catch and go, catch and pump fake, catch and rip, etc.
- Free throws
- Ladders (game)
- Stand close to basket at corner and shoot. If you make, you take a step back. If you miss, you take the shot again. Make at 5 spots in the corner, 5 spots from the wing, 5 spots from the middle, 5 spots from the opposite wing, and 5 spots from the opposite corner
