Book Private Basketball Lessons with Coach Quentin

Hello, my name is Quentin McCoy. I am a 19 year old going into my sophomore season of college basketball player at Arizona State University. I was born and raised in Chicago, IL, and basketball is my passion. I discovered my love for basketball watching youtube on a library computer at the young age of nine. Basketball has taken me places and helped me build relationships that would have never been possible otherwise. In school, I was a 5.0/4.0 gpa student in high school, and thus far I am a 4.0/4.0 student in college. My biggest role models are my father, Joseph McCoy, and Kobe Bryant. Those two role models of mine instilled in me the value of hard work and grinding for whatever it is you want to achieve in life.

By training with me, your young athlete will build a quality foundation for their game and learn to build on that foundation in the most efficient and effective ways possible. My goal is for players to grow their skillset and basketball IQ through well rounded training. As a coach, it is hard to set specific goals for a player without meeting or talking to them first, but as a pretty versatile player myself, I have confidence that I can help your young athlete grow their game in whatever areas they are looking to target.

Sessions will typically be an hour long. Basketball training is just as much about efficiency as it is intensity. Because we are operating on a one hour window, I advise that athletes arrive 15-20 minutes early (which I will be present for) to stretch and get loose. The first 15-20 minutes of each workout will typically consist of fundamental ball handling and shooting drills that I will have all my players do, as building foundation is important. The next 30-35 minutes of the workout will be drills tailored specifically to your young athlete's game and goals. Whatever your athlete and I determine they need to be working on, I will have drills ready to efficiently and effectively build progress in those areas. The last 5-10 minutes of your young athletes workout will consist of conditioning, free throw shooting, and a debrief. Conditioning and shooting free throws through fatigue are important at all levels of basketball, but even more importantly, I want to give your young athlete a change to decompress and talk out what they learned and give me their assessment of their workout. Self assessment is an important key to success in basketball and in life, and will also help me to know what aspects of our sessions are most beneficial, and what aspects may need some adjustment.

My father. Playing for my father taught me a lot about what a coach should be; not just someone who is knowledgable regarding the game, but also a resource, a mentor, an advocate, and a protector of the young men or women they coach. While basketball is great, a great coach does more for you than make you a good basketball player. A great coach helps you to grow into a better person, bringing the best out of you.

I am a young man, and I engage with children as such. While I do want for the children I train to get better at the game of basketball, it is more important to me that they have fun doing so. I want for my players to love the game and love the process of doing what it takes to get better. The work we will put in will have serious results, but rarely will it feel strict, serious, or overbearing. I am not the 'drill Sargent' coach, I am a young person teaching what I know to people slightly younger and less experienced than myself.
