Marcus B.

I've done volunteer coaching for the last 3 years with one of the best high school basketball programs in the state that has sent numerous HS student athletes to pursue collegiate sports. I've been mentored in coaching by coaches with over 40 years experience. I've also attended courses at PGC(Point Guard College) a nationally known training program for coaches and players. I've also have helped develop players in the summer through a girls traveling team that I helped start called the Lady Stars. I have a passion for coaching and teaching basketball. Especially the basic fundamentals of basketball, because so many children are not getting those basic skills taught to them by coach's. The teaching can be tediously repetitive, so a coach has to have the patience to deal with an inexperienced or young player. That's where I come in at, because I have the patience for the young athletes of today. It's not just for the skill, but it also takes patience to build an athlete's body and mind. Also, athletes should have fun learning the game and developing the skills for basketball. I live in Little Rock, AR. so I hope to be able to negotiate a reasonable price range for the mileage and time. We can very well negotiate a package deal if I'm coming more than once a week and if it's more than one athlete.

I've been apart of high profile high school program that's been to the state championships 4 years in a row and has won 2 of them.

My expertise is training youth in the basic fundamentals of basketball; shooting, ball handling, passing, and rebounding.

The training includes free-throw shooting(routine development), shooting(BEEF technique), jump shot(energy development), basic ball handling skills, rebounding techniques, passing skills, toughness development, agility skills, basic footwork, proper defensive techniques and different skills/drills. Every lesson and skill can be properly explained thoroughly for the reason behind each. If athlete accurately practice on his/her own outside of our sessions he/she will see improvement in 3-4 months time.

My session plans depend on where's a player skill level is at. So the first is me just evaluating where the athlete is at skill wise. Then it depend on what do the athlete wants to get better at. I like to start my plan with basic drills, and then progress as the athlete begins to masters a drill. So my plans are all about progression.
