I bridge the gap between talent and top, game-ready player. Having walked on at the D1 level at only 5'10", I know exactly what it takes to maximize potential, out-work the competition, and master the mental game

Elite Guard Skills: I build elite shooting mechanics, tight ball-handling under pressure, and aggressive finishing.

Judo-Infused Defense: I use my martial arts expertise to teach players elite balance, core power, leverage, and unstoppable defensive footwork.

Conditioning & Spatial IQ: Drawing from swimming and multi-sport coaching, I implement advanced cardiovascular conditioning and team-focused spatial awareness.

Every session is purposeful, high-tempo, and tailored to the athlete's specific goals. As a result, sessions may slightly differ from player to player depending on skill level/ experience and needs. However, all sessions are aimed at building the player's core skills by way of:

- Dynamic Warm-up & Footwork: focusing on agility, balance, and quick-set defensive positioning

- Advanced Skill Progression: Repetitive, meticulous breakdown of ball-handling, passing, and shooting mechanics under simulated game pressure.

- Tactical Live Situations: Translating drills into real-game scenarios, teaching players how to read defenses, make split-second decisions, and create space.

- Conditioning & Mental Resiliency: Fast-paced drill work designed to push lung capacity while challenging players to maintain sharp focus and perfect form when fatigued.

Don't be intimidated, we still keep it fun and engaging!

I have spent over two decades competing and coaching at elite levels across multiple sports, specializing in youth and high school development.

Basketball Milestones:

Division 1 walk-on at George Washington University; Ligue 1 (France) pro roster tryout invitee; 2x Varsity Captain and BCL League leading scorer; Beltway Pro-Am player.

Coaching Impact: Head Basketball Coach at two San Francisco schools; freelance trainer for ages 5–25 since 2017

Elite Multi-Sport Success:

2x California State Judo Champion,

3x Judo National Championship Competitor (Top 10 National Ranking);

trained multiple Junior Olympic judo athletes;

Founder of Swim Academy and youth soccer coach.

The best coach I ever had was my high school varsity coach. He taught me that resilience and discipline are the ultimate equalizers on the court. As a walk-on at the Division 1 level, I wasn't handed anything. He didn't just look at raw height or natural status; he valued the player who won every sprint, locked down defensively, and raised the competitive energy of the entire gym. He taught me how to break down the game analytically, read an opponent's body language, and use leverage to outmaneuver bigger players. I bring that exact same standard of gritty execution, high basketball IQ, and unconditional belief to every single athlete I train.

I hold my athletes to a high standard of sportsmanship and effort, but I always pair that structure with an approachable, fun, motivating style. My gym is an environment where it is safe to fail, because failing at a high speed is how we grow. Parents can trust that I focus deeply on injury prevention, proper physiological mechanics, and character development. Athletes will find a coach who is entirely invested in their goals, whether that means making a middle school roster or preparing for varsity recruitment. I treat every player like a future leader, teaching life skills through the game of basketball.
