I have been coaching and developing players for the last 11 years. I started coaching 6-9 year olds, but I am currently coaching at a Preparatory High School. I have coached recreation basketball, AAU, high school (varsity and jv). I became a full time coach/trainer 5 years ago and since then I have trained athletes ages 5 all the way up to professional basketball players

I started playing basketball when I was 10 years old at my local Boys and Girls Club, and have been playing ever since. I played four years of varsity basketball in high school, before moving on to play at the junior college level. I eventually ended up playing division II basketball at PIU

All sessions start with a light warm-up of stationary dribbling, before moving on to moves and drills that will enhance your ability to move with the ball. I specialize in helping athletes refine their shooting abilities, and build confidence in their game. I like to watch an athlete play to better understand their needs, and then I formulate a personalized workout based on what I've seen, or what that specific athlete tells me they want to work on. I also have assistant trainers that help me, so athletes are doing drills against real defenders and not just stationary cones.
