Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Start off with basics. Teach small drills that'll carryover into practice/play. Establish an at-home routine that'll keep him busy off the field. Also, create an understanding for what the goal is in attending these lessons and moving forward with their sport.

How did you get started teaching?
Was never the brightest bulb but everyone shines in their own way. I believe what I've learned and cards I was dealt through my athletic career could benefit many athletes on and off the field. I started teaching after my fall season at Daytona State College. Couldn't afford to live there, work full time and do full time school so I had to make a decision.
What types of students have you worked with?

Highschool

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
In the area of expertise, I speak on behalf of all coaches or trainers. We choose to do this because it's a passion of ours and we want to help others achieve their goals. Establish your goals. Where do you start? What is your goal? Why is it a goal? And how are you gonna achieve your goal?
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
No question is a dumb question. Ask all the questions you can and don't be intimidated to fail. Failure teaches you what you should've, would've or could've done. Accept failure as a friend. Life's about failing and learning how to get back up.
