About
The mission of Hard2Guard is to produce and develop better basketball players by giving proper basketball instruction in the areas of fundamental basketball. We stress individual development of work ethic, leadership skills, communication and the importance of education. This is manifested through DEDICATION, HARD WORK and DISCIPLINE.
I have loved the game of basketball for as long as I can remember. I find joy in teaching the game I love to others and watching them grow as players and as human beings. I cherish the opportunity to impact the youth in a positive way and give them the tools they need to succeed in basketball and in life.
