About
I focus on the overall development of the athlete. During the first session, we will go over basic drills and begin to understand what is most important for the athlete to work on.
I will form a collaboration between myself and the player to determine the highest priority needs for the player. I want to EMPOWER the player to be honest and choose what they want to work on while also using my experience of what they should be working on.
I have been playing alongside collegiate and professional athletes my entire life. Even though I didn't play collegiate or professional, I know what it takes especially to make a high school team.
I'm a great coach for all skill levels, whether the fundamental stages or advancing to high school.
I love working with youth and watching them grow into better people. Seeing humans grow is a joy to me. On the basketball court, I love watching kids become more confident and have fun with the game.
