Youth Basketball Trainer
About
My training focuses on having discipline in your practice. Whether you're brand new to basketball or you've been playing for years, I expect you to show up and work hard. That may mean something different each practice, but it means you always leave it all on the court.
When I started playing basketball I practiced every day. I wasn't very good at first, but I kept working at it. It was so exciting when I started to outplay my friends after school, then at practices, then in games. My own coach was patient but always pushed me. He taught me how to improve my game and inspired me to help other players.

I played basketball throughout my highschool years, both on my school's team and on a travel (AAU) team.
How did you get started teaching?
The coach of my AAU team saw potential and asked for my help with training younger players. We focused on perfecting their fundamental skills to improve the way they played the game.
What types of students have you worked with?
I've trained players ranging from seven to 16 years old. I coach based on each athlete's existing skill level and I've worked with beginners and more advanced players.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
A good trainer is going to encourage you and will always push you to be better. You've got to get the basics down first. The best trainer will help you do this by targeting your weaknesses. Then, you can move on to more advanced skills.
