Every athlete I work with gets a tailored plan, but here’s an example of a first session to build a strong foundation:
Dynamic Warm-Up & Footwork (10 min)
Agility ladder, defensive slides, balance drills
Focus on coordination, speed, and injury prevention
Ball-Handling Fundamentals (15 min)
Stationary and on-the-move dribbling (both hands)
Change-of-pace and control under pressure
Shooting Technique (20 min)
Form shooting close to the basket
Spot-up shooting from different areas
Free throw mechanics and consistency
Game Situations & Decision-Making (10 min)
1-on-1 offensive/defensive reads
Passing under pressure and spacing awareness
Cool Down & Review (5 min)
Light conditioning, stretching
Feedback and goals for next session
My focus: building strong fundamentals, teaching the why behind each drill, and creating a positive but challenging environment. Whether you’re new to the game or looking to sharpen your skills, my sessions are designed to translate directly into in-game performance.

Client Reviews
Dan Sanders (Coach) (Testimonial)
Jon carried himself like a true professional every single day. His leadership, high basketball IQ, and willingness to be coached made him an extension of me on the court. I could trust him to run the team, make the right reads, and keep everyone accountable. Having a player like Jon was like having another coach out there, but with the energy and respect of a player his teammates would always follow.
Jeff Newberry (Pro Athlete) (Testimonial)
Training and playing alongside Jon was different, his preparation during the week set the tone for everyone. He treated every teammate like family, making you feel like his brother. The advice he gave me on my shot mechanics and on how to read and dominate a defender changed my confidence on the floor. Mentally and skill-wise, Jon pushed me to levels I didn’t think I had.
