More About Coach Scott

Throughout the past decade, I have had the honor of coaching at various national camps, club programs, and high school programs in California. Currently, I am engaged in coaching in Arizona. I have had the privilege of coaching and nurturing several offensive and defensive players of the year in the state of Arizona. At present, I hold the esteemed position of 17u Girls National Coach for West Coast Elite.

I grew up playing basketball Basketball since the age of 9 years old. I played all 4 years at my high school and currently always down for a good pickup game.

I like to start with stationary ball handling, then move to ball handling with finishes at the rim or Shooting. After that, we move into the specific skill we are focusing on for the day. Once the skill is learned and the timing of when to use it is explained, we start practicing the move repeatedly. While practicing the new skill, we also make game reads at game speed to ensure that the move translates over to live game play

Coach Scott has been coaching my son for about a year now and we couldn't be happier. He has taken the time to learn what my areas my son can improve on and has different exercises to help him improve each of those areas. He offers one on one training as well as scrimmages which helps my son put the new skills to work. All round training start to finish.

Very knowledgeable and helpful trainer

Great Coach. He was going hard on my son and pushed him to be the best he can be. I am very satisfied with the results after only one session.

This is my first experience with having a personal trainer for my son, and I will say that Coach Scott has set the bar very high. I sent video of my son and with in minutes he was just as excited as I was to train him. My son has potential to be a great athlete, and what Coach Scott has done in one session I see the progress already. He is patient and a true student of the game. Paying attention to the smallest details. Definitely will schedule for the long term.

Coach Scott was great, my son learned a lot and is excited to learn more. Loved working with this coach and loved how he worked with my son
