I work with my players on the skill, physical, and mental aspects of the game. My workouts combine specific drills and conditioning, tied together. I do way more than teach basketball skills: I make my players stronger, faster, and better balanced, while improving their mental approach to the game.

Client Reviews
Terry (CoachUp client)
Eric is a great coach who focuses on teaching proper basketball fundamentals. The session was extremely helpful in improving my game as Eric provided a lot of great insight and teaching based on his extensive playing and coaching experience. I will most definitely look to book Eric in the near future for more sessions. Thanks Eric!

Dean Forbes (Testimonial)
Coach Eric has been extremely helpful in developing my son's basketball skills from nonexistent to one who plays with much more confidence each day. I strongly recommend his training sessions to anyone interested in learning the game of basketball or looking to improve and take their game to the next level.
