Casey G.

I have experience coaching at several levels, I have coached from ages 8 all the way up to 20. I coached AAU travel teams in Colorado for several summers, 15 and 16 year old boys as well as girls. I have run individual workouts and on-on-one workouts for ages 8-20 as well. Everything from basic skills for young players all the way up to players who are playing at the collegiate level. I have been an assistant Varsity coach in high school in Fort Collins Colorado as well. I have been a personal trainer and personal basketball coach in Colorado for several years, involved in an organization called Youth Lobos as well as Colorado Fever and Colorado Jam.

I was a division 1 scholarship basketball player at the University of Northern Colorado from 99-02. I then transferred to the University of Colorado @ Colorado Springs, a division 2 school, where I was an all-conference 2nd team player in both my junior and senior seasons. I am in the UCCS top ten all-time for career points scored, career assists, career steals, career three point %, career three pointers made, and career freethrow %. After college, I played in several semi-pro leagues (some of which have since collapsed) the CBA, ABA and NBDL briefly, in Colorado, Utah, Kansas and Nebraska.

Depending on the age and skill level of the client, I would focus on enhancing the basic skills: dribbling (cone drills, two-ball dribbling, zig-zag drills) shooting (BEEF - balance eyes elbow follow-through, shooting on the move as well as from a stationary position) passing (bounce passes, chest passes, over the head passes, passing to a shooting pocket) and defense (step-slide, zig-zag drills, lane slides, boxing out and rebounding). I would also explain strategies, in both a team setting as well as individual strategies in order for the client to reach their full potential. The workout would be very planned out and kept to a perfect timing in order to not waste time, we would get everything out of every moment. I will take from my own experience in college to fine tune the client's skills, molding them into a the best version of themselves that they can be on the court. I love to combine physical strength and plyometric training to every basketball workout as well, in order to advance the client's overall athleticism and skill set.
