Ricky P.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, I was one of the best prep players in the history of California. A McDonalds All-American Slam Dunk Champion, I was unanimously named a USA Today/AP/Parade Top 5 player in the country. My talents helped me achieve early success and opened an opportunity to represent the USA in the Junior Olympics in Argentina where I won a gold medal .

I'm an alumnus of Duke University where I was an All-ACC performer and 2 time ACC regular season champion. I became 1 of 75 players in Duke history to score 1,000 career points. My Pro career include stints with several teams throughout Europe and Asia, as well as the Miami Heat, Detroit Pistons, Orlando Magic, and Charlotte Bobcats of the NBA.

Following my playing career, I worked as VP of Operations for Worldwide Hoops Sports Marketing, and have been featured as a correspondent with Raycom Sports for ACC College Basketball. In 2010 I Founded Game Ready Skills and Development LLC and have quickly become one of the most sought after trainers in North Carolina.
