Tee D.

I’ve played basketball my whole life and have 10+ years training athletes ages 6–18. I’ve coached 2 AAU teams and specialize in skill development for youth and teens. My experience spans group and private sessions.

I’ve been dedicated to basketball my entire life. I was awarded a full athletic scholarship to play at the collegiate level, a reflection of my skill, discipline, and commitment to the game. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen life circumstances, I was unable to fully pursue that path. Even so, the experience shaped me as both a player and a mentor. Over the years, I’ve earned recognition for leadership on and off the court, and I’ve carried that same passion into coaching and training the next generation of athletes.

Clients can expect each session with me to be structured, engaging, and tailored to the athlete’s level. I begin with a dynamic warm-up focusing on footwork, mobility, and conditioning to prepare the body. From there, we move into fundamental skill work — ball handling drills, dribble moves under pressure, and passing accuracy. I also place a big emphasis on shooting mechanics, from form shooting to game-speed reps, and finishing at the rim with both hands.

For more advanced players, I incorporate game-like scenarios such as pick-and-roll reads, defensive close-outs, and situational IQ training. Every session ends with conditioning, free throws under fatigue, and a short reflection so the athlete leaves understanding what to improve.

My goal is to build strong fundamentals, confidence, and basketball IQ — so each athlete develops the skills to succeed in both practice and real games.
