Theresa B.

I am an enthusiastic, energetic athlete who loves basketball. I have played basketball since I was 6. I played middle school, high school, and college basketball. My vase knowledge and expertise in basketball has allowed me to student coach at Mississippi Valley State, coach adult leagues, and train boys and girls ages 6-18.

I was a scholar athlete through high school and college. I have obtain awards which include MVP, All-metro player (Jackson, MS), Best all around player, Most Improve, Defensive Player of the year, etc. I competed on the college level at Mississippi Valley State University on a full scholarship.

A client can expect a typical session to start with a basketball assessment because it is important for me to know how efficient the athlete is in all areas of basketball. I will focus on the basic fundamentals of basketball to ensure that the athlete has a solid foundation that will increase the athletes basketball IQ as he/she progresses. Basic fundamentals would include: dribbling with both hands, perform layups, shooting the ball, free-throws, and defense. Based on age and assessment evaluation I will begin to focus on weaknesses by incorporating training that will transform the weakness into a strength. For example a player who dominant hand is his/her right hand and limited to no use of their left hand, I will focus on drills to strengthen the left hand. I will explain and demonstrate how the use of both hands makes he/she a great all around player. I also will give my client homework that focuses on that weakness outside of training (30 minutes of various dribbling drills using their left hand only). Outside of focusing on my clients weaknesses I will still incorporate drills to take their strengths to a higher level. Specific techniques defensive drills i.e. correct stance, man and ball, hands up, knowing a players dominant hand and pushing them the way you want them to go to create or get a steal. Other drills include: jump shooting, triple threat, post play, L cuts etc... Basketball has a vase number of skills and techniques that can be incorporated into a players individual as well as team game, choose a training session with me and lets take your game/talent to the next level.
