My student athletes often tease me about the many sayings I have - Space and pace, ABCs (always be cutting and screening) W.I.N. (what's important now) or D.I.G (Dignity, Integrity and Grace) to name a few.
My coaching philosophy, "Get comfortable being uncomfortable." Basketball is a correlation to life and unless you are doing things that push you, you won't grow.
Run successful AAU program that uses the appeal of basketball to create positive social change & service in sports. Integrate a mix of philanthropy, fundamentals, & fun.
Fun Fact: Was Steph Curry's trainer in a TV commercial.
I love to see the people I train work hard and achieve the goal we set out during our initial session.
Nothing is more gratifying than watching a young athlete struggle in the begging to only overcome and progress in a skill. The moment at which they finally get comfortable with a new skill and to see the happiness it brings them is a great feeling.

The initial session consists of an assessment of the player's ability. We discuss goals and build from the core of what the athlete excels at. Parents and kids love my enthusiasm and encouragement. Each session is timed and fast paced. I always explain the 'why' behind each drill and ask the athlete questions to make sure they are absorbing the lesson. Each session is unique to the athlete and built around what he/she needs to level up.

I love coaching youth basketball. I got the coaching bug about seven years ago when I started coaching my son's third grade CYO team at St. Perpetua. From there, I took my passion and exclerated it into high school coaching.
Boys & Girls
8- 18 years old
I put together a basketball camp for kids in need open to 4th through 7th grade boys. The camp was instructed by current and former Bay Area high school coaches.
The camp was more than just about basketball. The supporting organizations invited kids who have displayed leadership characteristics, determination, integrity and compassion in their approach to the world. Basketball athleticism played only a small part in the selection.
The kids got hands-on training from an experienced coaching staff. The kid to coach ratio was 4:1 making the individual attention for each kid a priority.
