Client Reviews

On the first day of my grandson's lesson, I noticed coach Tau's passion for the game of basketball at all levels. His high energy approach to working with kids came through. He worked with my grandson's strengths and weaknesses to make him feel comfortable, and to help him be the best player he could be. What I appreciated the most is that coach Tau took the time to have an informal chat with me, and provide feedback on what he saw in my grandson. I can say that coach Tau's approach to coaching my grandson was about dedication and focus. His integrity, desire, and knowledge of the game makes him the perfect coach for my grandson. I highly recommend coach Tau.

Coach Tau does a great job of getting his athletes to love doing the hard work that it takes to get better! My athlete always looks forward to sessions and is improving quickly.

My son loves getting trained by coach Tau. The coach is sportive, energetic, demanding and friendly at the same time. We are sure to stick with him for the long haul. I definitely recommend coach Tau for all basketball enthusiasts out there!

Coach Tau is a great coach! He is a very patient guy and taught my son some new basketball techniques. I definitely recommend him for other parents who want their kids to improve in basketball.

Coach Tau and my son worked on important skills that team practice and practicing alone can't reach. To quote my son "It was fun. He was in depth in explaining what I did wrong and I could correct it". He worked up a sweat and still left with a smile on his face feeling more confident.

After one session it was obvious my son was going to learn a lot from Coach Tau. We have been looking for someone who focuses on the fundamentals with a breadth of skill and experience to be able to do this. Both from a coaching (Travel and AAU teams) as well as being a player himself.

Coach Tau was great! Zach enjoyed every minute of the session. Coach Tau provided him with instructions and hands on practice in which Zach was able to see immediate improvements. This had a great impact on his motivation. Zach can not wait for the next sessions. Thank you coach Tau.

There is not a better person suited to coach young people than Coach Hamilton. I would select him to coach at any level including college. He is that good of a coach and person.
Tau does a terrific job of providing constructive feedback to players without showing any negative emotions. The kids respond well to his style and it has a positive impact on their performance. Tau also encourages kids to work together which helps them become a better team member, not just a better basketball player.
Coach Tau exudes a calm, steady and demanding style of teaching that really brings out the best in his athletes. No yelling and screaming but also no compromise: do your best and push yourself to the limit.
