Jordan S.

I attended Concordia Academy (Roseville) where I played varsity basketball for 3 years, earning All-Conference honors my junior and senior years. I earned a basketball scholarship to play collegiality at Valley City State Universtiy (ND).

I helped coached basketball camps for VCSU for 2 summers, working with kids 3rd grade to 7th grade. I also helped coach a 16U Minnesota Heat AAU team the summer of 2011.

I also helped out at MDB (Minnesota Developmental Basketball) one summer, coaching shooting form and shooting off screens.

I have worked and will work with kids of all ages, although ages 12-17 are what I have worked with the most. Working with kids who are older allow me to easier pin-point what the athlete needs the most work on before his/her most important basketball years. My specialties include post moves, post defense, shooting off screens, footwork and moving without the ball. I want my athletes to feel each improvement after each session and feel like I am there to help them improve both mentally and physically.

Basketball: All-Conference Honorable Mention (10th grade)
All-Conference (11th & 12th grade)
Football: All-Conference (11th & 12th grade)
College basketball: Started 6 games as a Freshman on a team with 5 Seniors.

Coaching: Team took 2nd in MN State Tournament.

I start my sessions with a series of dynamic stretches, moving on to plyometric drills working on footwork and conditioning. Shooting drills and ball handling drills are whats followed, completing many repetitions. At the end of each session, I always ask my athlete what they feel like they improved on the most and what they feel like they need continued work on.
