More About Coach Thadius
I've coached High School Basketball for 4 years and also a Head Basketball Coach for the Lynchburg Titans in the P.B.L. (Premier Basketball League) Semi-Pro. I also have done some personal training for players that play overseas or looking to play overseas. I have worked with ALL age groups ranging from 6-36 years old. I also hold personal camps for players through out the year depending on locations. I've attended major coaching clinics at VCU and NCST under Shaka Smart and Mark Gottfried. Im a Basketball Instructor and Head Basketball Coach and AAU Basketball Coach at Spectrum Sports Academy.
I won a State Championship as a player my junior year also played semi-pro basketball for the Lynchburg Titans. I'm a back to back free throw champion and I set a record in Appomattox,VA for the most 3 pointers made in one game which was 6. I was one of the youngest VHSL Head Coach and now I'm the youngest P.B.L. Head Coach.
I start with the basics which is conditioning which consist of running and ladders and speed drills, then I work on ball handling which consist of pounding the basketball, two ball drills, tennis ball drills, stop and pivot, spider drill. Then it's fundamentals which contains lay ups both right and left hand also work on foot work to teach how to jump off the correct foot and the right hand to use, ball control, shot fakes, pass and catch. Defense is the final thing I work on which I work on more footwork and the right defensive stance, step slides, taking charges, teach zone or how to play man to man, close outs and high hand. I have a lot of drills I use just don't have enough space to explain ALL of them, but mostly I work on what a player really feel he/she needs work in.

Client Reviews
Rodney (CoachUp client)
Coach Thadius is an excellent coach and motivator. He has taught my son a whole new set of skills and pushed him to achieve things he would have never done otherwise. He did this in a fun yet challenging way which is a skill that is difficult to find. He has a sincere desire to help improve his pupils and it shows through. We will be booking more sessions with Coach Thadius.
Keegan (CoachUp client)
Coach Ferguson is a great coach. He taught me many different drills that the pros use and told me what I need to work on. I highly recommend him as a coach.
Rodney (CoachUp client) (Testimonial)
Coach Thadius has done an awesome job with my son. He has the perfect balance between pushing kids beyond their known limits and being supportive when the don't quite reach the new next level. He is a class act with tons of basketball intelligence. Any kid would be lucky to have him as a coach or mentor.
Kieon Brown (Testimonial)
