Who is the best coach you ever had and why?
My dad. He taught me the fundamentals and how to play the game. He also helped me with one of the most important sides of the game, which is the psychological aspect of basketball.
What should athletes and parents know about you?
I am adaptable to the player. I am very involved in the development of your child, and will do a very detailed assessment from the beginning to ensure we are working on beneficial aspects of the game to get the best results. Starting with foundational principles and moving our way up. And if they are more advanced we simply step into this fluidly right away.
Coaching Background
Summary of Coaching Background
In the summers during my off season I have run countless workouts training the youth through various cities I have been in. I have also worked many high school and college camps. I have experience dealing with all ages, skill levels and personality types.
How can you help someone improve their game?
Analyzing their habits, foundation and moving forward from there. Without a solid foundation, there is nothing to fall back on when your in a real game. From here, we develop into more advanced training.
What does a typical training session look like?
We start with an active stretch routine to get the body warm and ready to play. Immediately we are into stationary and then movement ball handling. From here, depending on the player we go into guard skills or post player skills work. These drills will consist of many different exercises, focusing on footwork, form, pace, and overall ability to improve. I will simulate the defenders in many instances. Providing what it will really feel like in a game like situation.
