The Titan Athletics Co
About
Welcome to Titan Athletics Co., where our mission is simple: Empowering Student Athletes Everywhere.
For more than 25 years, I have helped student athletes improve their performance through a proven player development framework called:
Train → Track → Analyze
Most basketball training focuses on drills.
The Titan Athletics Methodology focuses on developing complete shooters through a structured system that teaches athletes what to practice, how to measure improvement, and how to identify areas that need correction.
TRAIN:
Athletes learn the fundamentals of proper shooting mechanics through the Dumb Waiter Drills methodology, developed through decades of coaching experience and detailed in my book, The Dumb Waiter Drills: The Secret to the Sure Shot!
TRACK:
Improvement cannot be measured without accountability.
Athletes use ShotBuddy Lite, my FREE basketball shot-tracking application, to record practice sessions, track progress, and build consistent training habits.
ANALYZE:
The final step is understanding why improvement occurs—or why it doesn’t.
Through performance analysis, video review, and the upcoming ShotAnalyzer platform, athletes gain deeper insight into their shooting mechanics and development opportunities.
A COMPLETE PLAYER DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM
Whether your child is:
• Learning the game for the first time
• Preparing for high school basketball
• Competing for a Varsity position
• Pursuing collegiate opportunities
The Titan Athletics Methodology provides a clear and measurable path for improvement.
MULTIPLE WAYS TO WORK WITH COACH E.
Athletes and families can engage at the level that best fits their goals and budget:
• Self-guided training using the eGuide and ShotBuddy Lite
• Virtual evaluations and online coaching
• Small group training sessions
• Team workshops and shooting clinics
• Weekend camps and special events
My goal is not simply to teach athletes how to shoot.
My goal is to teach athletes how to improve themselves through a proven system they can use anywhere, anytime.
If you’re looking for a structured approach to player development built on repetition, accountability, analysis, and measurable results, I invite you to experience the Titan Athletics Methodology.

Coach E is an excellent coach - in just a few lessons, we see a big improvement in our kids in their shooting and mindset for the game. He teaches in a calm, effective way and takes the time to explain the reasons behind his methods. Most importantly, his keen observations of our kids personalities and styles and his positive and fun way of effectively inspiring our kids to be their best is most appreciative! Were excited to continue working with Coach E - he is truly a game changer as a Coach and we cant wait to see how our kids will progress in the future with him! Thank you so much Coach E!!

Coach E of Titan Athletics Co has a true passion to help athletes who have the drive to work hard at improving. My son has been working Coach E and he has taken my sons ability to play the game of basketball to levels beyond our expectation. Coachs approach also goes well beyond just the physical aspects of the game. Coach also helps with the mental side of the game. He has helped my son see the game of basketball differently in which prepared him to progress the right away. We appreciate you Coach E!

Great Coach And Mentor Who Really Cares!
He is the 1st coach/skills trainer I have met that really cares about the success and progress of your child during training!
He asked to attend my sons game so he could better understand how he plays. He took time to attend games and speak with the coach to see what the coach is looking for, and where my son could improve. The was a LOT of synergy with Coach E and his HS Coach, and that was re-assuring for all of us.
They actually worked on those areas during training and ever since then, my son has been starting, 1st during practice and scrimmage games in the pre-season NOW my son is a starter!
Coach E! is a highly engaged and committed coach! It starts with the 1 1/2 hr training sessions.
I would say to any parent committed to helping their child improve their shooting skills and fundamentals in basketball Coach E! is your guy!
My only caution is...Be prepared to work! Make sure this is what your child wants....
My youngest thought he wanted the same and couldnt keep up.
So he quit and went back to Soccer.
My oldest comes home from training with Coach E drenched in sweat, and tired.
He is ALWAYS excited about practice with Coach E, so much so that he wants to show his Father, and anyone who will listen what hes learn!
Sometimes before a game, he askes to meet with Coach E for a tune up! Coach E, always tries to make time for him and its has been game changer!
Ohhh.... Dont forget your ebook! It comes in handy when your on the road and you cant get a tune up from Coach E!
Thanks FOR ALL YOU DO Coach E!

Coach E!,
Is Amazing! We came from AZ, and hired him to coach our son over the summer.
Our son had a disastrous 8th grade year and he lost confidence. He could barely knock down shots during the game due to his lack of confidence.
Coach E, showed him not only How to make the shot accurate, and consistent shots... but WHY he was missing his shots!
From that point on His confidence shot through the roof! He spent the summer training with Coach E! and now He is scoring machine and his confidence level is High!
The icing on the cake for me was when the coach gave my son his cell phone number and a book he wrote on his shooting technique. Its called:
The Dumb Waiter Drills: The Secret To The Sure Shot!
This was a great resource and refresher for him. When he looses his confidence he calls Coach E. My son has called Coach E a few times and he has been a great mentor for him!
Also be prepared... Coach Es training last about 1 1/2 and your child we be pushed! But he or she will become a better player!
Thank You Coach E!
The invite to watch Caleb this year always open to you!

I highly recommend Coach E at Titans Athletics Co, his exceptional coaching skills, extensive knowledge of the game, and dedication. He has a remarkable ability to inspire and motivate his basketball players. With his positive attitude and unwavering support, he instills a sense of confidence in his players, pushing them to achieve their FULL POTENTIAL both on and off the court. He understands the importance of effectively fostering an environment where players feel valued and encouraged to contribute their best with his deep understanding of the game. He possesses a wealth of technical expertise and strategic thinking, enabling him to create innovative plans and make quick adjustments for a basketball player. His meticulous attention to detail and emphasis on skill development ensures that his players continually improve and excel in their performance, like my son. My son sees the game on a whole different level not just playing the game of basketball but being able to have the court vision and slow the game down in high-speed moments making him a more effective player on the basketball court. He currently practices with JV and was invited to practice with Varsity at his high school, practicing 5 days a week with both teams and he’s only a freshman.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Every student athlete begins with the Titan Athletics Train → Track → Analyze development process.
First, I assess the athlete’s current skill level, goals, strengths, and areas for improvement. This can be done in person or remotely through video review and discussion with the athlete and parents.
Next, we establish a personalized development plan built around the Titan Athletics Methodology.
Train
Athletes learn proper shooting mechanics and training principles through the Dumb Waiter Drills system and structured practice routines.
Track
Athletes use ShotBuddy Lite to record shooting sessions, track progress, and build accountability through measurable results.
Analyze
We review performance data, shooting results, and video to identify areas for improvement and make adjustments to the training plan.
Depending on the athlete’s goals, families can choose from self-guided training, virtual coaching, private instruction, team workshops, shooting clinics, or camps.
My goal is not simply to conduct lessons, but to teach athletes a repeatable system they can use to continue improving long after our sessions are complete.

How did you get started teaching?
My venture into coaching was sparked by a personal episode with my eldest son who faced a challenge on the basketball court. The experience unveiled a glaring gap in accessible, practical, and effective coaching for young athletes. With a strong desire to make a difference and a firm belief in empowering the young, I delved into coaching, blending my tech-savvy background with my passion for basketball. Over the years, my engagement at both High School and Club Level basketball coaching, coupled with continuous learning and adapting, led to the inception of The Dumb Waiter Drills (DwD) and eventually The Titan Athletics Co.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of athletes spanning various ages and competitive levels, primarily focusing on middle school to high school student-athletes. My clientele also extends to adults who embrace basketball as a conduit to maintain an active lifestyle, and actors seeking to hone their skills for a convincing portrayal on screen.
However, my most cherished experiences are with student-athletes fervently aiming to elevate their game to the next tier. Their passion, dedication, and drive resonate with the core mission of The Titan Athletics Co., making the journey of nurturing their skills profoundly rewarding and impactful.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Recently, I had the distinct pleasure, and honor of coaching a high school travel ball team for the San Diego All Stars. The journey from practice sessions to the tip-off moments, through every tournament and league game, was nothing short of Exciting For Me!
What stood out the most was witnessing a diverse group of basketball players, hailing from different high schools, morph into a cohesive, competitive travel ball team representing San Diego.
The unity and synergy they displayed on the court not only outshone many teams in Southern California but also showcased a remarkable transformation and growth that I hold dear.
This journey, marked by hustle, teamwork, and evolving prowess on the court, encapsulates the essence of what I cherish most when coaching.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
When searching for a basketball coach, it’s crucial to find someone who not only has a profound understanding of the game but also has a genuine interest in nurturing young talents. Look for coaches who offer a personalized approach, are open to communication, and employ modern tools to provide real-time feedback and analysis. It’s also beneficial to seek a coach who has a structured yet flexible training program that aligns with the student’s goals and accommodates their growth curve.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Before investing in private basketball training, I encourage every parent and student-athlete to first understand the development process. Improvement doesn’t come from attending a few lessons. It comes from consistent practice, accountability, and a clear understanding of what needs to improve.
When evaluating a coach, ask:
• Do they have a structured development system?
• Can progress be measured over time?
• Do they provide tools and resources that allow athletes to continue improving outside of lessons?
• Do they focus on long-term development rather than short-term results?
At Titan Athletics, we believe in empowering families with the knowledge and tools needed to support their athlete’s growth.
Whether you choose to work directly with us or not, we encourage parents and athletes to explore the resources available through the Titan Athletics Train → Track → Analyze system:
