I have over five years of experience coaching and training youth athletes in Colorado, with a focus on basketball development. Which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to deliver effective coaching methods. My journey began while still in school, assisting with basketball camps and clinics hosted by my alma mater at both the high school and collegiate levels. During this time, I learned how to work with athletes of various ages and skill levels.

After finishing my playing career, I transitioned into full-time coaching, working with athletes ranging from 5 years old to freshman in college. I’ve developed and implemented personalized training programs, focused on improving individual skills, fostering teamwork, and enhancing players’ confidence. My goal is to provide the foundation for athletes to reach their full potential, whether they’re beginners or preparing for competitive play at higher levels

My basketball playing career began at Eaglecrest High School under the leadership of Coach Olander. Being part of a prestigious high school program significantly elevated my skills, preparing me for the next level of competition. This foundation helped me secure a scholarship to play at Lamar Community College (Lamar CC) at the JUCO DI level, where I further honed my abilities over two years.

After completing my time at Lamar CC, I transferred to Fisher College in Boston, MA, where I had the honor of being named team captain. In addition to leading my team, I was selected to the All-Tournament Team during the AII Conference Championships, a testament to my hard work and leadership on the court. These experiences have shaped my basketball career and provided me with a strong understanding of the game, which I now apply to coaching and player development.

In each training session, your child will experience a structured environment focused on skill development and teamwork. We start with a dynamic warm-up to get the body ready for action and to prevent injuries. The core of the session is dedicated to improving key basketball skills, such as ball handling, shooting technique, passing accuracy, and defensive positioning. Sessions are tailored to each athlete’s age and skill level, ensuring that they are always challenged but also able to succeed.

As the session progresses, we incorporate competitive drills and game-like scenarios to help players apply their skills under pressure. These drills encourage athletes to think quickly and communicate effectively, both individually and as part of a team. We end each session with a cool-down and provide constructive feedback, focusing on what went well and areas that can be improved. By the end of the session, your child will leave feeling more confident in their abilities and with a better understanding of the game.
