I've been coaching for several years and my Athletic resume is listed below and it showcases my coaching and playing experience. I've played NCAA Div-1 Women's Basketball for the Univ of South Carolina & The Univ of Central Florida. However, I did not complete my education at those schools. After dropping out for over 11 years, I decided to go back in 2001 and played for Edward Waters College where I was voted MVP and lead our team to its first Conference championship and appearance to the NAIA in the school's history.

A typical session with me will be will be fun and educational. I try to help maximize any athlete's potential. I focus on fundamentals and mechanics. I can teach and demonstrate moves for Guards and Posts. I've coached Boys and Girls basketball on the Middle and High School levels and have an impeccable rapport with student-athletes and parents alike. Whatever the skill you desire to improve, I'm sure I can help you not only improve it, but master it! I also focus on things a player should do On and Off the ball, particularly on the defensive end. I hope to have the chance to work with you to help you reach your goals!
