The philosophy is simple. Perfect the basics. The most effective way to develop youth basketball players into well-rounded athletes is to provide them with a base. A starting point. A strong set of fundamental skills – Ball handling, shooting, passing, and defensive techniques that will serve as a platform to their individual development. Too many middle, high school, even college players lack basic fundamental skills. And it’s these deficiencies that prove to be the barrier between success and failure. Between good and great. Athleticism, talent and luck will only carry an athlete so far. It’s the hours and hours of professional instruction; Of grinding. Of beating on one’s craft that make the difference. At LaB Works Training, not only do we work hard, we work with a purpose.
I love seeing progress. Watching my athletes transform from shy, meek role players into confident, polished leaders.
As a kid, I would've loved to have had a coach who's experience matched their passion. I've been through the process. I understand better than most the mental and physical barriers that need to be conquered in order to succeed at any competive level. If my experience, successes and failures can be used in service of another, I feel that I have purpose in the lives of today's youth athlete.

How did you get started teaching?
I've been coaching and teaching my entire adult life.
What types of students have you worked with?
Beginners all the way to professional players.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Do your homework! There are a lot of wolves in sheep's clothing. Google their name. Check to see if their "expertise" matches their profile. If it's not a good fit, leave. Don't waste your time or money on someone who is not in this business for the wrong reasons or who doesn't have a passion for teaching.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
I think a student should never hesitate around talking to their coach/teacher. Being honest. Being realistic. Being authentic are key in any relationship. When stating a need, the student should do their best to articulate - a lot of the work then falls on the coach to help them to flesh it out and to provide actionable items.
