Private Basketball Lessons with Coach Alay in San Diego, CA

Athletic Background

Summary of Career and Accomplishments

With a passion for basketball that began at age 10, I have dedicated 25 years to honing my skills and expanding my knowledge of the game. I played on my high school varsity team, competed alongside college players in intramural leagues, and further elevated my experience by participating in adult leagues with professional and former professional players.

Who is the best coach you ever had and why?

The best coach I ever had was Coach Selleck, who taught me the fundamental skills of basketball during middle school. He instilled in me the importance of mastering the basics, emphasizing that flashy moves are ineffective without strong footwork. This core principle became a foundation for my game, and it has stayed with me throughout my career.

What should athletes and parents know about you?

I believe that anyone can significantly improve at anything they set their mind to. The limits we perceive are often just illusions, and athletes will realize this when they push past those barriers—such as mastering the ability to shoot with their off-hand. With dedication and perseverance, growth is limitless.

How can you help someone improve their game?

My approach begins with a thorough evaluation of the player's current skills and strategies.
