Michael D.

I have coached 6th grade through College. I was Head Coach with Hinsdale AAU basketball team, The Hinsdale Inferno. I work with age groups from 10 years old all the way to college level. I am a certified IHSA Official. I officiate all levels of games from, AAU all the way up to Division 3.

I played 5 years AAU basketball. Growing up I made my Junior High School team every year. Moving on to high school, out of almost 150 freshman, I was one out 15 players to make the team. I then continued to tryout and make the team all through out high school. I averaged 12 points and 8 rebounds a game. I play in 4 advanced leagues. In 2012, I was voted MVP in one of the leagues I played in, averaging 25 points and 15 rebounds a game.

During a training session, we start with conditioning. Endurance is an important aspect of this game. We will then move into ball handling drills. I will make sure we work on your strong hand and your weak hand equally. We will then work on our shooting drills. Layups, Short range, Long Range jump shots. I will teach you the proper form of each shot selection. I choose to do 90 min sessions because it gives us enough time to concentrate on what we need to accomplish. I might decide sometimes to choose to take one of our sessions and full concentrate on one particular drill, if I see you need more development on it.
