Because I can teach you how to be a combination of Kyrie, KD, step, and Lamelo. As soon as I dribbled a ball at 4 years old, I was, completely obsessed. The first time I saw a basketball game on TV I was hooked and it became all I did. From 8 to 14 years old, I spent at least 2 to 3 hours at the YMCA perfecting my craft. I was objectively better in comparison to kids in my age bracket, as I was playing 5s with grown men on a daily basis from the age of 10. It became my whole identity as a teenager. I started to play competitively in AAU in 6th grade and went on to play with AND 1, the 4th best ranked team in Texas until 9th grade. I also played at my highschool starting in 7th grade, starting practice with the varsity team in my 8th, and played all up until graduation. Except for my 9th grade season, I was the MVP every year. I was the epitomy of a flashy point guard that made the right play everytime, looking for not only the assist, but the hockey assist. After graduating highschool I went on to pursue other goals in college, but I've never stopped hooping. I’ve played continuously for the past 30 years at gyms, outdoor basketball courts, and private runs with professionals including Daaron Fox, James Harden and Patrick Beverly. I was never a huge scorer during my high school days because I was so obessed with dribbling. That weakness in my game then, is actually one of the reasons why I’ve become such a successful trainer today. Over the years, I have developped an extensive knowledge of how to create space through my dribbling acumen, which allowed me to figure out how to get a shot off from every angle. I can now effectively show my students how to incorporate shot making, into their dribble combos, whether that be on the perimeter as a guard or in the post as a big. The more you’re able to master this concept, and apply it to every angle you find yourself on the court, the easier it is for you to manipulate the defense, and slow the game down. Every great player at some point in their career talks about a period where where they feel like they reach such a high skill level that the game starts to feel like its running in slow motion. It’s akin to playing against people at a park that have nowhere near the talent you possess. You feel like you’re faster then your surroundings because your database of knowlege is so vast that the oppostion has no control over what you are gonna do, you dictate everything. This is one of the most beautiful feelings to experience as an athlete and it is my goal to help basketball players reach this state at the competitive level they want to be.
