I have coached the Morton Heat travel boys basketball team for several years. We are always very competitive and win a lot of games. More importantly I coach my kids to play the game the right way and have fun doing it! I love working with kids and watching them develop. I will work with boys or girls from 7 years old up through high school. I have developed a very deep network of coaches at all levels of basketball. It's my goal that I can help my players reach their dreams whether that be making a youth team, competing in high school, or getting a college scholarship some day.

My training plans differ per player. I train my players to become better all around basketball players. We will work on the player's weaknesses and turn them into strengths. Dribbling in place, dribbling on the move, two ball dribbling, spot up shooting, shooting off the move, footwork, technique and more are included in my sessions. Repetition is huge. We will get a lot done in a single session and continue to build on previous sessions as we move forward. I will give constructive feedback on what my players can work out outside of our training sessions as well.
