    Coach Jimmy has been a blessing to my kids. He is fundamentally sound when it comes to
    his lessons, that help set the ground work for life long skills to develop their overall game. I
    highly recommended him to anyone who is looking for a passionate, reliable, and
    fundamentally sound coach to teach and build kids confidence and skills.

    When I started training with Jimmy in May 2021, I was a 70% free throw shooter and only a
    20% shooter on 3 pointers. After 12 weeks of training, I entered the California Senior
    Olympic Games (Sept. 18, 2021) in the Free Throw, 3 point, Hot Shot, and 3 on 3
    Tournament. I won gold medals in the Free Throw (22-25) and Hot Shot event... Show more

    Coach Jimmy is coaching my son for almost two months now, and he is doing a great job
    helping my son improve his basketball skills. When I started looking for a basketball coach
    for my son and interviewed Jimmy by phone, he caught my attention because he showed
    honesty and love for Basketball, so I decided to try an initial session and I was... Show more

    I like that Jimmy was able to work at my pace. Even though Ive had basketball experience,
    we went through the basics and fine tuned my skills. Developing in that way definitely
    improved my overall skill level in the long run. Hes always professional and on time with a
    positive attitude.

    Coach Jimmy has always provided a positive and constructive training regimen. Great
    development comes from skills and drills training. I’ve personally seen his training program
    transcend through age groups as both my grandsons ages 7 and 14 have developed their
    skills and become better basketball players.Joe A.

    Frequently asked questions

    My typical process is to find out what the player is trying to accomplish.  I will then design lessons that I feel will maximize the players goals.  

    I have earned a degree in Human Behavior and Social Sciences. I am currently pursuing another degree in Child Development.  I feel my education will help me set a great foundation for interacting with youth or high school players.

    I started teaching and coaching basketball in high school.  I use to work at a recreation center.  I coached youth basketball and I love it.  I was also fortunate to have coached a few freshman high school basketball teams.

    I have worked with youth, middle school, and high school students.

    This past summer I was asked to work out with a friend's son.  He is now a senior in high school.  I was invited by his father to come out to one of his games.  He was really proud of the skills I had instilled in his son and it showed on the court during his game.  During the game his father showed me a picture of the scholarship letter that his son had received.  I felt like a proud father myself when I saw the letter. 

    Choose a teacher that is going to give you the best experience.  Even if you make it to the NBA, one day, it will end.  Choose a teacher that, in the end,  will ultimately make you a better person.  Not just with basketball. 

    I feel that players should ask themselves what are their realistic goals and what are they striving to accomplish.   I believe that a player has to ask themselves if they truely even want to put the time and energy into this training.  Always be true to yourself.
