Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
The first session usually is used to get a feel for each other, i need to see and figure out exactly what yu need improvement on and where i can help. Basic drills are done to test the new student andfrom there i can customize and make more drills to help advance skill level.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I personally have been playing basketball since i was 3, ive been to a number of basketball camps in my lifetime and have recieved numerous awards and MVPs. In 2007 recieved All City honerable mention in the city of Detroit. I was offered a couple D3 and D2 scholarships buti turned them down to accept a full academic scholarship at EMU and walked on to the Men's Basketball team. I was not able to fully play my first year due to a Back injury. I graduated in 2012 with a degree in Sports Management.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.

How did you get started teaching?
It came naturally after my person career was over. I have worked with a number of kids and teams around the city and as far out as Ann Arbor. i started coaching youth recreation teams, training individuals and most recently joined the Detroit Cody High School coaching staff.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with beginners just learning the game of basketball, middle school kids who have potential but need a little more structured training, High School kids who are on the college radar and have options for college and High Schoolers who are good but need that extra push to help them get noticed. I also have worked with college kids and also some pro athletes who play in other countries.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure the teacher has your best interest involved. alot of people in the field are out to gain status, find someone who who really cares about helping you get better. mosttimes i form real bonds with everyone i work with becausei truley want them to be they best player and person they can be.
