I have worked with more than 5 families providing private basketball sessions for their children in the Indianapolis, and Illinois areas. In me, you'll discover a reliable, detail-oriented, patient and extremely energetic private coach, one who will serve as a mentor to encourage your children to demonstrate the same high standard of professionalism and hard work it takes to develop skills for the next level of play. Known for developing, encouraging, and motivating student athletes, I will go above and beyond to get the job done.

My coaching is based on the philosophies I've learned from my past coaches as a collegiate and semiprofessional player, and coaching at the high school and college level.

I love to teach, mentor, and enjoy working with players of all age groups making a difference not only in their game but in their lives. My concentrated areas include footwork, defending, shooting technique and form, ball handling, speed, strength, and agility, and polishing up on those basic skills in the game.

I will start my sessions with a vibrant warm up, skill work, conditioning, form shooting, shooting, and then going into position work. There will be 1 on 1 live games played once I feel my athlete is ready to go to the next level at each session. My athlete will notice improvement in his or her game after each session.
