Kyle T.

Sport junkie who will never settle on former playing career as the standard for coaching committed athletes; sports evolve and I keep pace. I take pride in my resilient preparation giving athletes the development and coaching they deserve.

I continuously grow through research, workshops, and mentorships from highly respected coaches, physical therapist and doctors. I also practice what I preach and watch a significant amount of film; no stone goes unturned.

Without question athletes will elevate their confidence and skill, but that’s not the whole shebang. Film study is a must in performance development. Players need to learn the game. One similarity amongst the greatest players is high IQ. Jordan, Kobe, Tom Brady, Jerry Rice – all students of the game.

Sports have been my life since day one, competing in organized football, basketball and baseball. I also had a high volume of exposure to all sports through pick-up games.

3 sport high school athlete - football, basketball and baseball

To this day, I still consistently compete in pick-up games

As previously stated, I am a student of sport. I am obsessed with developing my game and athleticism through research, film study and practice, which has paid huge dividends in my ability to help all athletes reach their full potential.

Three base skills for players at any age:
1. Shooting without guide hand
2. Hang dribble (a must to read and defeat defender)
3. Using contact to create separation
We build this foundation and progress to moves and counter-moves that will defeat any situation.

Creating scoring opportunities involves the ability to read and react against defensive pressure. Skill development will not transfer unless applied to a live game environment. We slow it down and hone in on skill details, but always progress to real pressure situations. Contested shooting drills, ball handling and finishing drills include an on-ball defender and a help defender. Through our training, players will see on court improvements with:

- Shooting efficiency (catch & shoot, pull up jump shot, floaters, step backs)
- Finishing through contact and traffic
- Ball handling
- IQ and situational basketball
- Court vision & passing
- On-ball defense & defensive rotations
