Learned many valuable lessons about winning and losing as a player and coach. Sports and competition has been my greatest life teacher.

We focus on techniques that involve proper footwork, moving with and without the ball, ball handling with movement, passing, shooting, on ball and off ball defense, confidence and overall understanding of your game. Bring a note pad for journaling.

Expect multiple drills mixed with conditioning with and without the ball and lots of footwork! Read/react drills help you be a threat on the court. Mental toughness is part of every session. I will help you grow real confidence. You always leave with tools and knowledge to help you train on your own. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c03rSZlewv4

Coach Dave was better than advertised, I was very pleased with what he was able to teach my daughter in just 8 sessions. Very professional, challenged my daughter with the physical part of the game, but more importantly the mental challenges that are a huge part of basketball. Unfortunately the coaches that have been in charge of my daughters bball career have for the most part failed on teaching some of the basic skills of the game, coach Dave took the time to show Mia simple but challenging drills to improve her game.

David is great! I’ve seen dramatic improvement in a short period of time. He sets expectations and motivates my son to want to exceed those expectations!

Coach David is direct and alters his plan based on my daughter’s individual needs. She loves basketball but needs to work on the basics. He has honed in on this, and is focusing her on important fundamentals. She is enjoying her time learning new tricks to improve her game. She comes home motivated to practice what she has learned.

I always have good sessions with coach David , he’s nice, and a good coach I can see a lot of improvement

Very knowledgeable and great with our 3rd grader.

Great coaching, and communication was also good. David seems to have a good, structured approach to helping kids improve. Also my son enjoyed it.

I think Coach Charleston excellent and a thorough teacher with great detail on everything he persuade to my son. I highly recommend Coach to perfect your game.

It was clear from the beginning that David is very knowledgeable about the game of basketball and knows what it takes to develop a player. David wastes no time in gaining an understand of where the player is at on a personal playing level, and then developing the fundamentals from where they are at.

We are looking forward to what the next sessions brings!

First session with my 8yo daughter was great. Gave us ideas what to work on before her next appointment. I saw improvement in the short 45 minutes. And most of the time was on assessments! She learned so much, but more importantly had a fun time. Thanks Coach!!

It was a great first session. Ready for the next one. Alex learned new technique and is improving after one session. Very encouraging!

In a short amount of time, Coach David has made a huge impact on my son. He has a new attitude and excitement for the game that he hasn’t had before. They get along great, and Connor has a tremendous amount of respect for Coach. He actually listens while on the court and better yet, reflects on David’s lessons while off the court.

My girls 1st session and they walked away happy and ready for more!! Thanks Coach

My granddaughter does not say much, but when I pick her up she is in all smiles and talks a lot in the car on what she learned and how she likes coach David. She tells me with his help she will be so much better.

Coach David did a great job with my son. He came away wanting to learn even more from him. He is looking forward to more practices. I like the way he teaches the importance of fundamental basketball. The individual sessions provide the opportunity for my son to learn the little details that make a big difference. Thank you very much!

David is a 5 star coach and professional.

Coach David did an excellent job with my 10 year old son during their first training session. My son learned so much in the first session and left even more excited than when we showed up. He can't wait to come back and we already booked more sessions. I would highly recommend Coach David!

Coach David was great with how he worked with my daughter. I think his approach keeps my daughter engaged. I feel that she has already benefited from just one session.

Coach David established a great rapport and brought immediate improvement with one session. We have booked more sessions.

Coach David gave Stephen some good pointers on how to guard the ball , how to shoot and work on his post play. Stephen really enjoyed the session and felt the coach was great to work with!

You were a topic of conversation for us on our drive home last night - Caleb was at the free throw line last night with 1.8 seconds on the clock. He had 2 shots. There were a couple of timeouts called. We were watching & wringing our hands in nervousness. He made them both! ACA won by 3! All that to say — as we drove home we talked about all the work you did with him at the free throw line. So, a BIG thank you to you! He was prepared for that pressure! We’ve also seen other areas of improvement and know your time with him was valuable. Caleb looks forward to continued sessions with you this year! Hope all is well with you and the Orange Planet. Thanks again! Shelley G.
Your approach with my girls is outstanding. Thank you so much! You have helped them overcome great obstacles and they are excited again to play ball." - Jim D. - Des Moines
Dave, I was really impressed how you taught my boys. You broke down their shots in understandable terms and allowed them to focus on specific correctable items when they work out on their own." - K. Smith, West Des Moines
