About
Welcome! My teaching focuses on my student's strengths and reasons for learning. I ensure that students are taught from a personalized curriculum that brings them closer to their goals while emphasizing the fundamentals that will prepare and enrich them for life. I am passionate about basketball.
I have over 15 years of basketball knowledge. My strongest skill has always been handling the ball. With a great understanding of ambidexterity, court vision, compound moves, and footwork, I can have you/your child running circles around the competition!
We specialize in building the entire athlete on and off the court. Building our athletes confidence through the game of basketball is one of our biggest goals!
However what's most enjoyable is seeing what that improvement does for our athletes self confidence and passion for the game!

How did you get started teaching?
Involved in basketball for the last 16 years I have obtained a lot of knowledge by receiving lessons from organizations like PGC point guard college also coached and trained for an AAU team for the last ten years “Teamesface” and training on the side for other organization NJB Allnet .
This led me to being hired by STANFORD University. I worked for over one year in their training department, training STANFORD athletes. After a year and a half I was given an opportunity to work at Santa Clara University. Where I worked with their basketball team as well as Training department for over a year. After obtaining professional training knowledge I then started my own independent company. Five Star Basketball Lessons. 5-βοΈ Lessons πWhat types of students have you worked with?

I have a Son in the 11th grade. He's a Phenomenal Basketball Player. Iv trained him since Kindergarten. He's now one of the Top Point Guards in the State of California. He plays on the EYBL circuit, sponsored by NIKE. EYBL is the highest level AAU in the country. It's the Best of the Best Players in the Country. All Allstar players. "Elite Youth Basketball Leauge." It makes me proud to know all of his hard work is paying off.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
My advice is to learn from a variety of coaches everybody can bring something to the table the game of basketball is extremely complicated and no one coach can teach you the entire game. Fundamentals are key to a long and successful career, elite level training involve complex footwork techniques.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Ask them about their goals as a coach and if it aligns with the goals of the student.
