More About Coach Willie
I am from Connecticut where I began my coaching/refereeing games for what we called “Biddy Basketball.” It was a basketball league of elementary school kids at our B&G Club. I started training basketball players with specific goals and enjoyed making a real visible and measurable difference in a players game. I coached High School Boys basketball for two years in Wisconsin. I am interested in training youth whose goal is to play Basketball at the collegiate level. My philosophy on basketball is East Cost based so there are things I do differently which makes your training experience with me educational and inspirational. I will push to make you tougher mentally and physically and if you love the game, you will love it more! Come train with me, book a session today!
I played basketball my whole childhood and through out high school. I then joined the Air Force where I gained more leadership/training skills. After leaving the military, I then settled in Appleton WI where I coached high school for two years and am now exclusively training athletes.
A typical session with me will be 1 hr and it will include specific workouts for strengthening the player's weaknesses in their game. We will work on skills such as foot work, ball handling, shooting, driving, finishing at the rim, defending, post presence(centers), quickness, passing, and more. What makes me unique is that I also can concentrate on weight lifting and all around strength. I help them build strength by learning proper weight lifting techniques and routines such as warm up, bench, squat, free weights, recovery techniques, instructions on how to use equipment properly, and strength programming specifically tailored to their needs to help improve their game.

Willie is a technical coach that strives for excellence. He keeps the boys engaged and if something isn’t understood, he takes th
Scott (CoachUp client)
Coach Willie does a great job of getting to know the athlete, finding out what their mental and physical abilities are, then tailoring each workout to address weaknesses. You can tell he really cares about the athlete's improvement. Willie does not just craft workouts, but learning experiences; imparting techniques, advice, and wisdom also. Willie is a technician; he doesn't just go through the motions, he motivates the athlete to deliver excellence. Great experience so far!
