Freddie W.

I am currently certified and the modified B head coach for the gates chili basketball team. Prior to that I was a three year varsity assistant. I've trained a handful of players in Rochester ranging from 8 years old to 17 years. This includes one AGR player and one all-county player.

From 7th grade all the way to my senior year, I played basketball at gates chili, winning team MVP every year but one. In 2009, my team won the sectional title and finished the year ranked top ten in the state for our division. During my senior year I managed to make all-tournament teams twice, was team MVP, made the all-county team and was the MVP of the Monroe county allstar game. In addition to high school, I played for a national AAU team, CYO, men's and intramural leagues. I attended George Mason university while coach Jim Laranaga was there and built a relationship with him and the players and worked out and practiced with them on a daily basis, improving the play of them and myself.

The most important thing when it comes to training, is knowing the capability of each individual. Everyone does not have the same body, which causes for certain workouts to be different for each athlete. I focus heavily on turning weakness to strength. Sessions vary from strength and conditioning, shooting, basketball IQ, mental toughness, footwork, low post play and CORRECT DEFENSE
