I usually ask the student about his/her strengths and weaknesses as player. I also try to know their biggest fear during a typical basketball game. The objective of this conversation is to find out exactly how I can help the student reach their maximum potential. Once I acquire enough information about my student, I begin by implementing drills that will target their needs.

For example, if a student’s main focus is shooting, we will start with warm-up shooting drills to get an over view of their form and technique. If the form and technique are good, we will move unto dynamic shootings drills such as one dribble jump shot, two dribble jump shot, perimeter shooting and more. If the shooting form or technique needs some adjustments, we will work on it. This method applies to all aspects of the player’s game. My main goal is to make sure that the student is a complete basketball player at the end of the session.
My sessions are very challenging. I try to push you as hard as I can to get the best out of you. Each drill is geared towards strengthening your game. I also try to strengthen your mental toughness by adding pressure situations to each drill. For example, can you make ten jump shots in a minute and a half? Your first reaction will be, “a minute an a half?” Instead of having such a reaction, I want you to challenge yourself, and try to make ten jump shots in a minute and a half. The key is to CHALLENGE YOURSELF! Basketball is like a piggy bank. You get out of it what you put into it.

Great first group workout for my son! Group size was small which allowed coach to focus on each player. Coach Semaj and his staff made a very good first impression! Looking forward to another session!

I thought he worked well with the kids and I will go again

I highly recommend Coach Inge to anyone that wants to improve their overall game. My son’s game has improved dramatically and I see vast improvement in his decision making on the court.

Coach Semaj, the session was incredible and invaluable. the time you spent with Rami to help him, the way you explained it in a manner that he instantly picked up, was one of the best coaching sessions we have ever partaken in. looking forward to continuing this relationship.

My son was really happy with coach Semaj. He learned a lot from one session! He broke things down and explained everything clearly until my son understood. He was engaging and encouraging. Great coach !

Coach Semaj was great. He has a great connection with his athlete and breaks down moves with simplicity and makes the athlete feel comfortable even if the athlete mess up on drills.

My son learned more Coach Semaj in one session than he has all season. He is alert and tuned into each player and coaches to the individual. So happy we found such a talented coach!

Coach Semaj was great and my son felt very comfortable with him. My son learned alot from just one session, we will definately be booking more sessions with him.

Semaj is a great trainer and he teaches both the physical and mental aspects of basketball. After only a couple of sessions with Semaj I have seen a lot of improvement and I plan to continue training with him.

My experience with Coach Semaj could not have went better. He runs a very smooth and organized training session with no time wasted. Coach Semaj worked with my younger sister who needed some professional guided tips to transition her game to the high school level. After one training session, she left feeling very confident and cannot wait to focus on these tips in game scenarios. I look forward to booking Coach Semaj in the future!

Impressed with Coach Semaj's training and drills.

Great coach, great drills, great program.

My son really enjoyed his first session with Coach Semaj. He taught him some skills and they worked on several aspects of fundamentals . Coach Semaj keeps him in the now and ,I can see improvement in my sons game very shortly . Looking forward to his next session ! 😃

Coach Semaj was excellent. He had my son engaged from the minute they hit the court. Towards the end of his session, I could actually see his skill level had improved. I highly recommend him.

Coach Semaj has already helped me grow, even with just one lesson. He pushed me to my limit, and past that. I would recommend Coach Semaj to anyone.

Session Two with coach Semaj was great! My son is improving after each session. This was the best decision we have made to further our sons basketball skills.

After 3 practice sessions i saw an improvement
In my son's performance he is starting to develop good
basketball fundamentals. Thanks coach Jason!

Semaj has been terrific. My son is already seeing improvement and results. Semaj is skilled and very easy to work with, and we appreciate his efforts thus far. My son is very much enjoying it as well, and is excited by the results.

Hey Semaj I just wanted to thank you for coaching and teaching me new skills at Next Level. I made my schools A team and probably wouldn't have gotten the minutes I got if it wasn't for you
