More About Coach Derek
I have been coaching and training basketball players for over 30 years. It all started the summer after my freshman year in college when I worked at my coach's camp for the first time. The experience of seeing the pure joy on a child's face after learning how to do something that they couldn't do before created a passion in me for teaching the game. I continued to coach and train(basketball camps, AAU teams, private training) in the off season during my ten year pro career. Upon retiring, I coached girls high school basketball before starting a basketball training company. I have worked with players of all ages and skill level.
After 4 years of high school basketball, I attended Augusta University in Augusta, Ga. As a college athlete, I was a three time, first team All Conference player, who led the conference in blocked shots for 4 seasons. At the conclusion of my senior year, I was selected as the regular season Player of the Year as well as the conference tournament MVP. I finished my collegiate career as Augusta University's All Time leading scorer and shot blocker, and an NCAA Division II All American.
My private sessions are specific to the skill level of each individual. The first session is used to evaluate the client. It is important to find out not only what their strengths and weaknesses are in terms of basketball skill, but also what their goals are. After this initial assessment, a training plan is designed to help them reach their goals.
