InnerMan Academy
About
Our training academy is structured around each individual players development.
I cater to athletes who are at beginner, intermediate and/or advanced levels. After the initial evaluation I develop a plan to assist you with your individual development. This leaves no excuse as to why the player should not develop
I am the founder of a Nationally recognized sports organization called www.innerman.com,
I am a former collegiate basketball player that has been teaching the game for over 12 years. My work allows me to train individuals, teams, and travel with the NBA Retired players association to over 22 cities annually leading camps and clinics and meeting young people and former pros all around the country.
I enjoy developing a plan for each of my students and watching their development basketball players, and to see their overall condence grow as they get better at the game I love.

How did you get started teaching?
I got started at the request of some high school coaches that had some students they thought had potential but were underdeveloped. Those young people begin to develop and become dominant players over a two year span. The team went on to win a state championship after our first year of training.
What types of students have you worked with?
Junior NBA Kids 1st-5th Grade
Rookies-6-8th boys and girls
Main Stage- High School students
Pros- Collegiate level athletes.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
