Philosophy: Expect to be pushed to your limits. I run fast pace, effective workouts with little downtime.

Session: I have developed a range of workouts focusing on guard moves all the way to big man moves. I can design workouts for any athlete of any skill level. My core workout is focusing on the fundamentals including: soft touch drills, triple threat with both feet, spin off/shoot off both shoulders, footwork, handling drills, agility drills, conditioning and explosive drills, shooting drills, defensive workouts, ladder drills, cone workouts, one-on-one post and guard workouts, pad workouts, and parachute drills.

Facilities: We may vary workouts between an indoor and outdoor court.
Indoor court : private indoor basketball gym where I live which can be reserved in advance. Across the street is an open field which may be used for conditioning and agility workouts.
Outdoor court: If the gym is already reserved, the South Econ Orlando Magic Gym has an outdoor padded court.

Very impressed with coach, gave my son the push and motivation he needed, lots of drills, highly recommended

My son really enjoyed training with Coach William. After not making his high school team this year, he had grown discouraged. After his initial training, the first thing he told me is that remembered how much he enjoyed basketball. I think training with Coach William will not only improve my son's skills, I think he will improve his desire and drive. Thanks Coach William, we look forward to continuing to work with you.

Coach Williams was great! I believe his drills and training are going to help my son reach his current goals. Will be booking more sessions.

Everything good

Coach Williams is a great coach. He is professional and good at what he does. After one session I knew this was the coach for my child. My son never even held a basketball and now after 4 sessions I see lots of improvement and results. I can even see my sons confidence in the game improve. I would highly recommend coach Williams.

My son had his first session with Coach Williams an as the parent was very impressed with his attitude and professionalism. I appreciate the fact that even in his teaching he was consistent with encouraging the boys when they made mistakes. My son was tired and a bit sore but looks forward to the next training.

Coach William came to our hotel and trained my two teens in all aspects of basketball.
He kept the kids constantly moving and had many drills they had never seen. The kids loved coach William. I wish we could take him back to New Jersey with us!

Coach Williams was a good choice for training my son. We will be setting up more sessions.

Punctual, personable and knowledgeable. The session was customized to my 10 yrs old son's needs. Coach William was very encouraging and pushed my son the whole way through the session. I will recommend Coach William to everyone that wants to improve their skills in basketball. See you soon, Coach!

Great coach that pushes you to your limits!

Coach William is very knowledgeable, and has a good eye for what the student needs. Coach also gives the kids a very good workout while learning basketball. Our son was never formally taught a lot of the basics, this training has also helped with some of the fundamentals of the game. We would definitely recommend Coach William to anyone looking to improve their game.

Coach William is a great coach! It's our first experience with a private basketball coach but, I can already tell he is an extremely qualified and knowledgeable coach. I got him for my son who is 15 and and was lacking confidence in his basketball game however, Coach William was definitely a great fit in helping him with his confidence. I would recommend Coach William to any one, I am very pleased with our experience.

Great practice.

Coach William is a great coach and motivator. His attention to detail has brought my daughter's game to the next level. He is a true professional.

Coach William knows what it takes to motivate and transform a player that WANTS to be great into a player that IS great. His drills and teaching style is among the best ! Without a doubt, training with Coach William will take your skills to the next level.

This being my first time training for basketball, Coach Williams pushed me to my limits and after that, motivated me to keep practicing and to become better. He also taught me to have confidence and to believe in myself. I would recommend Coach Williams to anyone wanting to find a coach to teach them to play basketball.

My 5 year old son (Isaac) learned some much just in one class with Coach William. Coach William is great with kids and likes to teach them...

Coach Will is a dedicated coach and mentor. My daughter is now more confident with ball handling and shooting. Coach also has solutions to help her become a better defensive player.

Coach William is a great trainer in all aspects. I am 34 and out of shape but love the sports. William has a gift of pushing you through each drill while explaining the reasoning behind it in real game scenarios. The sessions are very fast paced to help your body with muscle memory. I would highly recommend. Keep up the great work Coach.

Coach William was very impressive. His teaching methods were very good and worked well with my daughter. He definitely puts in the effort to make you a better player and teaches useful techniques that can be applied in game. He has a strong emphasis on fundamentals which is really lacking in a lot of young players. Just make sure they are ready for a serious workout. Would definitely recommend.

In searching for a well equipped professional basketball coach I was fortunate to find Coach William on a website listing of approved national coaches. When I first sat down with Mr Boatwright i addressed my sons abilities and weaknesses as a basketball player. Mr Boatwright was very attentive during our conversation and perceptive as to my sons needs. He explained his approach as a coach and specific technics he would use to benefit my sons performance and confidence in basketball. In the weeks that followed Mr. Boatwright has not only demonstrated comitment but has also succeeded in engaging and motivating my son. I have noticed my sons interest in playing harder and better and has highly improved his techniques. Mr Boatwright is not only experience and knowledgable in what he does but has genuine qualities that inspire the player. In addition, he addresses the importance of good diet and shares with the player leadership and time management skills. Mr Boatwright is more than a coach he is a mentor. He has integrity and patience when teaching. Mr William Boatwright has met my sons needs and concerns beyond expectation. As a parent I am completely satisfied with my sons progress and new found potentials.
Hardworking, determined, and passionate about the game. A good teammate and person to be around in general.
I had the distinct pleasure of coaching William during our collective tenure with the Orlando Venom of the IBL. In a professional development league, you quickly determine which of your players will conceptualize the team philosophies and lead his teammates on the floor. William was that player for us. He brought superb on court talent as well as an ability to quickly process the nuances of our schemes and provide on-court coaching direction. Clearly he was not only a superb talent but an individual who could rally his teammates to work as a single unit for the betterment of team goals. What struck me most about William was his leadership style. In a professional development program you have many players fighting for their future careers. William demonstrated a capacity to assist the coaching staff in tempering individual agendas for the collective good of the team. An incredibly knowledgeable player that commanded respect among his teammates, simply put, he has a natural leadership style that others gravitate towards. Add to that a keen knowledge of the game and there is no doubt William has the capacity to coach at the highest levels. I have had the privilege of coaching more than 50 young men who went on to play collegiately and 10 more who further their career in the pro ranks. William was one of those few players that were true "students of the game" and have an enormous ability to offer much more to the game. He represents the best of what basketball has to offer and will pass those teachings on to players who are fortunate enough to learn under this fine player and coach. I look forward to seeing where his tremendous talents take him in his career. Todd Hein GM/Coach Orlando Venom Pro/Youth Basketball
