Luis I.

I have 13+ years of coaching experience, I train collegiate, recreational and youth players under the training program "Lookupufitness" based out of Miami, FL. I am currently one of the head coaches at Vice City Basketball, which is an elite youth basketball academy which offers player development through skills trainings, private trainings, youth basketball leagues, and basketball camps. After graduating college, I collaborated closely for three years with my head coach at Warner University dissecting game strategies to craft a powerhouse workout regimen. We meticulously blended strength training for explosive drives, targeted mobility drills refining defensive agility, and cardio workouts matching the games relentless pace. Prior to that, I interned at Miami Sunset Senior High School for two seasons, where I helped the team reach an above 500 winning record and qualify for districts.

FOR MY ADVANCED ATHLETES :

I focus upon detailed breakdowns of footwork concepts, body control, ball manipulation techniques and space recognition of athletes on the court.

The footwork breakdown helps the athlete to understand that the feet not ball come first in basketball. So the athletes learn how to step, where to step, and most importantly when to step.

Body control is learning movement postures so the athletes can manage themselves in positions that the complex game of basketball demands on our bodies to be dynamic and fluid.

Ball manipulation techniques are imperative in today's game so athletes comprehend the art of pickups, lifts, and turning the ball into space.

Finally, space recognition, the biggest skillset to be learned which is critical for game IQ. As my athletes learn the other skills, making educated reads of how defenders are playing to their actions is key to dominate against the competition.
