How can you help someone improve their game?
I help athletes improve their game by providing an accurate assessment based of experience, physical ability and overall skill level. Additionally I help identify strengths and weaknesses and how to improve them overall by implementing specific drills that facilitate improvement.
What does a typical training session look like?
My typical training sessions usually consist of heavy basic fundamentals drills that are designed to improve skill level over consistent repetitions. Also I believe in fundamentally explaining each and every drill in detail and how the application of the drills will essentially enhance individual skills.
