Coaching has always been one of my passions when I stopped playing basketball. As a trainer, I feel its a way to give back to the game and help the generation of basketball players succeed in the game just like I did. I have been coaching for about 8+ years and have coached at the recreation level, middle school level and currently coaching at the high school. Currently, along with coaching high school basketball, I am a trainer at PickUp USA and a trainer with my business MB3 Basektball Training. I have worked with and typical work with clients as young as 6 years olds to college players. Also, I’m a Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Nutrition Coach, and a Certified Peformance Exercise Specialist. All of these certifications would be used in the training plans/sessions to help each client.

In my athletic career, I have played at all 3 levels. I played high school ball at Chapelgate Christian Academy(and currently coach there). I went to D3 school, Wilson College, for my collegiate basketball career. I played 4 years of basketball, was a captain for 2 years, was one of the best 3 point shooters in school history, and was an academic award winner in multiple years. I played semi-professional basketball for the MB3x3 League in Maryland in 2020 but was canceled due to the pandemic.

Each session is plan out for each client to specifically work on the skills they are weakest in to turn them into strengthens and to sharpen their strengthens depending on their skill level. Beginner clients will learn the fundamentals basic of basketball so they can build a solid foundation for their game, while more advanced clients will be taught more advance parts of the game (ex. reading ball screens) to take their game to the next level. This will including dribbling, finishing around the rim, shooting, footwork, creating space/shooting, reading the defensives in different scenarios, etc. Within my session, resistance training specific to basketball will also be incorporated in training if client wishes to include it in training or if it is needed in the plan.
