About Coach Will

Welcome! My name is Coach Will, and I am passionate about helping players develop their game and become the best version of themselves on and off the court. Basketball has been a major part of my life for over 15 years, and I bring that experience to every player I train. My coaching philosophy is simple: hard work, accountability, and fundamentals build champions.

My Background

I played NAIA and Division I basketball before continuing my career as a professional player in several professional competitive leagues. During that time, I learned what it takes to perform at the highest levels, both mentally and physically. These experiences shaped the way I coach and train today.

Over the years, I have worked with athletes at every stage of development—from young beginners to college-level players. Currently, I coach at PRYAA, where my teams consistently make championship runs while sharpening their skills and understanding of the game.

My Coaching Style

I take an old school approach to basketball. The same values and principles that shaped my journey are what I instill in my players today. I believe in discipline, respect, and accountability, paired with a positive and encouraging environment where athletes can thrive.

I keep training real and focused on fundamentals, while challenging players to think about the game at a higher level. My goal is not just to develop great athletes but also strong individuals who carry these lessons into every area of life.

What I Teach

As a former professional point guard and shooting guard, my strengths include:

Defense – Building a lockdown mindset and strong positioning

Ball Handling – Developing tight, confident control under pressure

Shot Selection – Understanding when and how to take the right shot

Court Vision – Learning to read the floor and make smart decisions

Ambidexterity – Becoming comfortable finishing and passing with both hands

Footwork and Compound Moves – Creating separation and attacking effectively

I help players gain confidence through skill progression and game IQ. Whether the goal is to make the school team, play in college, or simply become the best player possible, I provide the tools and guidance to make it happen.
