Devon R.

I possess a comprehensive coaching background in basketball, spanning various levels of the sport. My coaching journey includes a two-year tenure coaching high school basketball. During this period, I devoted one year to coaching boys at Maricopa Academy and another year to coaching girls at Bella Vista Prep. Transitioning to the college basketball sphere, I served as an assistant coach for two years at Phoenix College in Phoenix, Arizona. Additionally, I assumed the role of head coach for one year at South West Assembly Of God.

Furthermore, my coaching experience extends to the realm of Club/AAU Basketball, where I have accumulated five years of expertise, contributing to teams across the Arizona area. Notably, I have had the privilege of assisting over 20 high school athletes in securing athletic scholarships, a testament to my dedication to their development and success.

My athletic achievements include a notable three-year tenure as a varsity player. During my high school career, I reached the pinnacle of competition, achieving the distinction of California state runner-up. Additionally, I received recognition as a Conference Honorable Mention player for my outstanding contributions on the court.

In the realm of collegiate basketball, I continued to excel, completing a three-year journey. My collegiate experience encompassed two years at Ohlone College, a respected junior college in California, followed by one year competing at the NAIA level while representing Southwest Assembly Of God University. These experiences further enriched my basketball journey and contributed to my growth as an athlete.

In my session plans, I meticulously structure each session to optimize player development. The session typically commences with a comprehensive warm-up, focusing on ball handling skills to enhance player control and dexterity. Subsequently, we seamlessly integrate these ball-handling skills into our finishing techniques at the rim.

Following this crucial foundation, our training shifts to precision shooting exercises. These drills emphasize footwork, ensuring that players develop a solid foundation for shooting accuracy. We also dedicate significant time to catch-and-shoot shots, honing players' ability to perform under pressure.

To culminate the session, we transition into live action scenarios. This phase is designed to translate the acquired skills and techniques into real-game situations, promoting seamless application during competitive play.
