Athletic Background
Summary of Career and Accomplishments
I've played basketball since I was 7 years old and was a team captain on my high school team. Since then I have regularly played in competitive recreational leagues including high level college and professional athletes. I also ran track and played football and soccer throughout the years.
Who is the best coach you ever had and why?
The best coach I ever had was my assistant coach in high school, Coach Christensen. He helped me learn the game and pushed me to become strong both mentally and physically to be the best athlete I could be.
What should athletes and parents know about you?
I am here to help athletes become the best version of themselves on and off the court. We will discuss goals and then build a customized training program to achieve those goals. Training with me will not only help athletes improve their skillset, but also will help develop a strong mindset to help them perform at a high level.
Coaching Background
Summary of Coaching Background
I have coached at Nike summer camps, helping athletes through both individual and team drills including live games. I also have coached AAU basketball, with our team reaching the championship game. I have spent the last few years doing private skills training focusing on development in shooting, dribbling, mental toughness, and other areas of the game of basketball.
How can you help someone improve their game?
Whether starting from square one or if you are already a high performing athlete - I can help improve your game. Through various exercises surrounding shooting, ball handling, athletic performance, etc. I will work with any athlete to improve their skills.
What does a typical training session look like?
This depends on your specific goals. Each athlete would have their own customized program and our sessions will reflect their personal needs. If an athlete wants to improve their shooting ability we will have a heavy focus on shooting mechanics, practicing shooting, etc. to achieve those goals. Each session will be tailored to whatever goal we are trying to accomplish.
