I have trained numerous players with the Hoops for Christ organization ran by Phil Morrison, including variety of age groups ranging from 6-21. Also trained several current college players.

Played four years at Pleasure Ridge Park High School where I averaged double figures and was named to the District All-Tournament Team. Also played four years of college basketball, one at Spalding University and three at Asbury University located in Wilmore, Kentucky. Was named team captain at Asbury University while shooting 41% for my career from 3-point distance. Shooting and ball handling are my calling cards and I want to pass this on to my clients.

Expect an hour of non-stop skill work as I like to be as efficient as possible with my sessions. There will be a lot of footwork drills as this skill translates to every age group. My main focus when training younger clients is getting their weak hand caught up with their strong hand whether it be ball handling or finishing at the rim. With more advanced clients I like to give them more difficult ball handling drills to push them to the next level and have them very comfortable handling pressure in games. Another thing I love to incorporate in these sessions is some pressure defense as they practice their ball handling. This is very underrated in skills training and is left out more often than not. Having a player only dribble between cones will not have them prepared to face pressure defense in actual games.
