What should athletes and parents know about you?
I love working with children. I been doing it for 20 years and I know how to bring out the best in them. I run my own camp for years and I still do it. My camp focuses on the basics first. Alot of children see games and don't realize that these players practice basics first until they perfect it. I make sure I have them do the right drills.

How can you help someone improve their game?
Practice Practice Practice. I will give them all the proper drills to work on after they work with me. It's not just working with me for 45 minutes. You have to continue to the the work. I also will check in all the time to make sure lol. I take it seriously haha.
What does a typical training session look like?
It depends on what the child needs. But if they never played before the first thing is basics. Footwork, glove drills, cone drills, side to side drills, throwing drills. It all depends on where the child is at. Everyone learns at their own pace.
