Combo Factory
About
Former professional basketball player with years of competitive experience at the semi-pro and professional level. Now specializing in private, 1-on-1 skill development training in Tampa.
Most athletes struggle with inconsistent shooting, weak handles under defensive pressure, and poor in-game decision-making. My private training directly attacks those weaknesses.
Each session focuses on:
- Game-speed shooting mechanics
- Ball handling under defensive pressure
- Footwork and finishing
- Basketball IQ and confidence
Session structure:
1. Skill breakdown and evaluation
2. Mechanical correction
3. Repetition under pressure
4. Game simulation reps
5. Measurable progress tracking
Real development requires commitment. Most athletes train 2x per week for a minimum of 8 sessions to see real, measurable improvement.
Private format. Limited spots. If you are serious about leveling up your game, reach out now.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Every new athlete starts with an evaluation session where we identify their strengths and weaknesses. From there, we build a structured plan targeting the specific skills that will make the biggest impact on their game. Each session includes skill breakdown, mechanical correction, repetition under pressure, and game simulation reps. We track progress weekly so results are measurable, not guesswork.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Between us, we bring years of competitive experience as semi-professional and professional basketball players. We have trained extensively in skill development, shooting mechanics, ball handling, footwork, and in-game decision making. We now apply that high-level competitive experience directly to private 1-on-1 athlete development.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
We offer private 1-on-1 training at $85 per session. We recommend committing to a package for the best results and value:
- 4 sessions: $340
- 8 sessions: $640 (most popular)
- 12 sessions: $900 (best value)
Most athletes see real, measurable skill improvement after committing to at least 8 sessions. Single sessions are available, but packages are recommended for serious development.
How did you get started teaching?
After playing at the semi-pro and professional level, we wanted to give back to the game that gave us so much. We started training athletes privately because we saw a gap — most youth players were not getting the structured, game-speed repetitions they needed to actually improve. We built Combo Factory to deliver elite-level skill development to serious athletes at every stage of their game.
What types of students have you worked with?
We have worked with middle school athletes (ages 11-14), high school athletes (ages 14-18), and adult players looking to sharpen their game. We primarily work with athletes focused on improving their scoring ability, ball handling under pressure, and overall offensive confidence. We work with both beginners looking to build a solid foundation and experienced players looking to elevate their game to the next level.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
One of our most memorable experiences has been training Jay. We worked with him intensively, focusing on every aspect of his game, and watching his development was truly a pleasure. The hard work paid off — Jay is now playing Division 2 college basketball and having a great season. What makes it even more special is that he still comes back to train with us when he's home from school. That's what it's all about — building players who go on to compete at the next level and knowing we played a part in their journey.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Commit to the process, not just the session. One workout does not change your game. Real improvement comes from consistent, structured repetition over time. Look for a trainer who has a system, not just drills. Ask them how they track progress and what the plan looks like over 4 to 8 weeks. That is exactly what we do at Combo Factory. Serious development requires serious commitment.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Think about what specific skill you want to improve. What area is holding you back the most in games right now? What is your current level, and how many days per week can you commit to training? And most importantly, are you ready to put in real work, not just show up? The athletes who improve fastest are the ones who come prepared and coachable every single session. When you are ready to make that commitment, we are ready to build your game.
