I have coached and trained athletes of all ages for over twenty years, however I am looking for opportunities to coach clients from the ages of 8 to 18 years old. In addition, I have been a head basketball coach at the middle school level, and at three different high schools in the bay area, and the school are as follows: (Oakland Tech, Bentley Prep, French International H.S). Lastly, I am certified by the Positive Coaching Alliance.

During my career as a basketball player, I was a three year starter at Fordham University, and I went to St. Agnes H.S which was a prominent high school program in NYC. Also, I was a successful player in the SF Pro-AM for over ten years and I am presently coaching in the league.

My approach to coaching basketball is similar to my approach to teaching, as I have been an educator for over 15 years. The first that I do is assess my client's basic skills of basketball and then I would build the sessions around the parts of their games that need the most improvement. However, from the start I would ask them what they wanted to work on most, because I need their buy in, regardless of what skills we are working on. Lastly, my expectation is that my clients get would they pay for otherwise it won't work for them or for me. It's important that we establish a relationship that is based on hard work and professionalism.
