About
I have been playing or coaching sports for 20 years. The last 6 years I have coached youth, middle school, high school, and college sports in the state of Iowa. I provide one on one training in Basketball, where I have 5 years of coaching experience, including one at the collegiate level. Training is athlete specific and will cater to each individual’s needs as a player. I give each athlete respect and meet them where they are at in development and skill level.
I am a state certified high school athletic coach in Iowa, who just moved to the East Lansing area. I am providing official one on one sessions for any athletes 8 years old and up in the sport of basketball.
My goal is to help athletes reach their full potential. Seeing an athlete make any kind of progress really makes me happy to see and is the reason why I do what I do. The game of basketball is a beautiful one and it should be a fun experience for all who play it! Getting better at the game makes it more enjoyable, and gives athletes more confidence not only in basketball, but also in life.
