Coach Sam - Growing Player Confidence (GPC)

About

More than 20 years of youth basketball development and coaching experience. Former Director of Youth Basketball Development for Boston Celtics. My program provides positive and uplifting basketball training and development experiences for athletes of all levels and ability levels from recreational to elite. I utilize creative and dynamic drills and games from the NBA, Jr. NBA, and USA Basketball to help athletes grow their game and build confidence quickly.

I pride myself on providing positive basketball development experiences to a generation of people surrounded by negativity in sports. My athletes enjoy training together because they're having fun at practice. Simultaneously they are improving their skills, decision-making, toughness, and character.

My 10 year old twin girls have loved working with Coach Sam. He has an amazing ability to engage children which allows them to focus on practicing their basketball skills while also having a great time. They have improved their game as well as their confidence on the court all thanks to Coach Sam!

My 9 year old has been working with Coach Sam for over 6 months and it’s been so fun watching him improve and gain confidence! Sam always shows up prepared really spends time working on necessary skills and is always asking for updates on his games and any adjustments they should make to training. He’s genuinely invested in my son and wants him to grow and love the sport of basketball. My son loves working out with Sam and gets so excited to see him. I can’t recommend him enough!

Sam was great! He really helped my son improve his shooting and gain more confidence. Sam has a great attitude and easily connected with my son.

Coach Sam was hands down the best coach my son has ever had the opportunity to work with. We were extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity for our son to receive one-on-one training for 4-5 weeks before he (sadly for us) moved from our area. In those short weeks, our son improved tremendously in all aspects of the game. Not only did his fundamentals improve, but his confidence soared. Sam is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, upbeat, and encouraging. It’s apparent he has a natural ability to make connections and effectively teach young people. He is punctual, communicative, and organized as well. If you have the opportunity to have yourself or your child be coached by Sam, take it!!
