I have over thirty years of coaching and training k-12 students. From being a physical education teacher to being a head coach at the middle school and high school level as well as a high school travel team, I have enjoyed teaching, coaching, and mentoring athletes and leaders of tomorrow.I have worked with all ages, but have more years of experience with middle school.

I played basketball competitively from the time I was 9 years old through high school. I lead my team in scoring my 10,11, and 12th grade years. Averaging over 20 pts a game each year. I was selected to five seven all tournament teams and chosen as MVP of a tournament my Senior year. I was chosen as one of the top players in the Birmingham metro area for my Junior and Senior years. I participated on an all star metro team the summer between my junior and senior year. I was offered a college scholarship at a small Christian college, but turned it down due to limited academic opportunities.

First and foremost I want to get to know and connect with the athlete. As a former Student pastor, teacher and coach I realize this is crucial for respect and trust. I will first talk to them about their likes and dislikes and their goal for the session(s). Then I will observe their fundamentals and skill level and determine the best approach. I am big on encouragement and facilitating confidence. Conditioning and hand/eye coordination are key areas I will focus on as well. Depending on the level, goals, and position of the player will determine the strategy moving forward.
