Christian N.

I am devoted to coaching and teaching young basketball players, especially those between the ages of 8 and 18, in order to get them ready for collegiate basketball. I am currently a student-athlete in addition to being an all-state high school and collegiate player. My ability to develop athletes both on and off the court has been refined via my prior experience as a high school and collegiate coach. I am committed to helping the athletes I work with develop a strong work ethic, discipline, and a winning mindset. I specialize in basketball and track. In addition to helping students become more athletically proficient, I want to serve as a mentor and advisor to help them achieve their academic and athletic goals. The goal is not to just make your kid good at what they’re strong at we want to work on weaknesses their craft and make them more accessible
To the game and not just be a one dimensional player.

As an all-state high school and college basketball player I accomplished the following:
Demonstrated exceptional court vision and passing ability, leading the college team in assists and facilitating team play
Showcased versatility by excelling in both offense and defense, earning accolades for all-around basketball skills
Played a pivotal role in the college team's success, contributing to significant wins against competitive opponents
Honored with multiple awards for sportsmanship, leadership, and on-court excellence throughout high school and college career. The high school that I attended was Windermere high was under a great staff and coaches to make me the player and coach I am today. I played there for four years and a little run down about how the development worked there was a lot of playing and skill development trying to get your child to college level for basketball. The program was run in a fashion to ensure that players were able to achieve college offers.
