Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Yes, initially during our first lesson please allow to arrive at least 15 minutes early so we can discuss the player's basketball goals, I will take the first initial 15 minutes to test the player's skill set, strength levels, and conditioning.

How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching basketball when I was 14 years old when I would teach local kids basic fundamental basketball drills to do on their own, when you have no shooting partner to work with and go through two person basketball drills. I teach students how to have a great effective workout that they can go through on their own or with a partner.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
A student who is interested to learn basketball from me will get the knowledge on what to do when its just only you, your basketball and the hoop. How do you get an effective basic fundamental game speed workout while on your own or with friends? I can give you some games you and your basketball playing friends can do for exercise and recreation.
Know that whatever I teach you during the lessons, if you do not practice on your own by yourself, you will not become a better basketball player. You will have an advantage of what I teach you so that you can go out on your own and enjoy working out to basketball drills without having to rely on someone else.

What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Any question is fine and I will help find solutions to your questions. The more questions the better. I do advise to please bring your own basketball to our lessons and carry your basketball everywhere you go to make it a part of you
