About
I am a basketball coach for Hillcrest High School in Riverside. I have worked with athletes ages 7 through 40, so I am very versatile when it comes to the age, level, and experience of my athletes. I have also coached kids at local community centers and trained kids from club basketball teams. I am also a Certified Personal Trainer under the National Academy of Sports Medicine.
I look for each player's individual weakness and help strengthen them in a progressive way depending on their current skill level. Drills will include:
1) Unlocking non-dominant hand with ball handling and finishing drills
2) Fixing Jump shot form
3) Increase player's IQ offensively and defensively by using game-like scenario drills
4) Improve Strength, Agility, and Conditioning
5) 1v1 drills against me (I'm 6'4 and 200lbs with guard/big man skills)
6) Help players become confident!
My passion is to help as many players unlock their full potential while reaching their goals!
