I created a basketball training program that has emphasis on incorporating strength, speed, agility and conditioning into every training session. This combination of world-class performance training and high-intensity basketball skill development has helped players to achieve incredible levels of success.

I challenge players to maximize their abilities through comprehensive basketball—specific strength, flexibility, movement, agility, and speed training while seamlessly integrating on-court basketball skill instruction. Centered on the concepts of carefully integrated skills training, elite performance training, proper nutrition, mental preparation, corrective exercises, and kinetic chain improvement, the program is incomparable and will produce fast and enduring results.

Within the framework of my program, a player is provided with detailed performance corrective coaching, nutritional guidance, and skill instruction that allow the player to continue developing well into the remainder of their career and life.
