I've always had a passion for basketball growing up; I played multiple sports, but basketball always held a special place in my heart. When my dream to own my own basketball training business became reality, I went to "I'm Possible Training" to become the best coach I can be.
Helping my players succeed, helping each one of my clients with whatever they may struggle with is a truly successful job to have. I strive for all of my players to be the best player they can be. I will work with you every step of the way. I can't wait to watch you grow, succeed, and have fun.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When a new player starts training with me I like to do a skills assessment to determine where we need to start. Also, what skills we need to work on. Typically done within a drill or method.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a certified I'm Possible Skill Enhancment trainer.
I have been playing basketball for 20+ years.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I offer a variety of different memberships and standard pricing for training by the hour on my website. Visit www.skillsgiven.com - you can also directly book through my website that best fits your schedule.
How did you get started teaching?
I started coaching, then I trained one of my players who needed help. That sparked my passion for training.
What types of students have you worked with?
Ages 7-20+, I have worked with professional players and first time players.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently just held a clinic with 8 players ages 8-14. It was a great group of players who worked very hard and it was very englightening during these times that are unpredictable.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
When looking for a trainer, read their about me page or their founder page. Read about them and their training style to see if they are a good fit for you and what you are looking to get out of training.
Each trainer is uniquely different, we all offer a variety of different styles. If you are looking for someone who is driven, compasisonate, a hard hitter at times, someone who wants YOU to succeed to the best of your ability - I would love to work with you.
