my experience I have in Basketball when it comes to coaching and training is understanding the rules, strategies, and techniques of the sport, along with how to teach them effectively. I can develop effective, individualized training plans that address athletes' strengths and weaknesses. I can inspire and motivate athletes, building trust and mutual respect. I have coach athletes from grades 3rd to 7th grade from recreation to select basketball level and I currently Coach for a private school in Bee Cave Texas. I have coached with different youth programs in the Austin area like the YMCA, I9 Sports, Neighborhood sports and LTYA. I have a coach with an AAU team called Texas Elite Girls Basketball. The typical age group I normally work with is 6U to 15U.

I just played basketball in High school at Del Valle High School from 2010 to 2014. After I graduated I went straight into coach youth sports and worked my way up to be a coach at a private school.

when I train my youth athletes I always start with a warm up to prepare players physically and mentally. My warm ups are normally 3-10 minutes with doing different exercises like running, shuffling, high knees, and push-ups. what I like to focus on when I'm training is that I always start with the fundamentals to see where the athletes are. when it comes to shooting I like to work on drills that help the techniques to improve accuracy, consistency, and range. My favorite shooting drills are spot shooting or around the world. With ball handling I like to train and teach them to enhance agility, speed, and control with the ball. The common ball handling drill I like to do is Zig Zag Dribble full court left and right hand. I like to work on passing and defense together because, with defense it will help you to develop the ability to make accurate and timely passes. My normal day of a training session is I start with a team speech so the players can understand why I'm here. after we will go into the warm ups and move into zig zag dribble, from there I would move into shooting and doing different concepts either 3v3 and moving up to 5v5. if it's one on one its normally what me and the player parents talk about what he needs to work or improve on.
