I have over 25 years of basketball knowledge. I played college basketball at Independence and Garden City community college here in KS. I have been an assistant coach at the high school level for 5 years and have been around multiple high level programs and coaches. I’ve learned life lessons through the game of basketball. The most important skill to master is your mind. I will make sure we work hard and have fun. I have a great understanding of ambidexterity, court vision, compound moves, and footwork. I promise to have your child feeling confident about their abilities as a person and athlete.

Tyler B. says, "Our son’s improvement in basketball has grown exponentially after just a month working with Coach Washington. Now we’ve enrolled our second son to work with him as well. He is an excellent basketball mentor and coach to the kids he trains with. He takes a genuine interest in the kids he works with and you can see how effective it is, because the kids are always eager to attend their next practice. He also does an excellent job assessing the strengths and weaknesses in the basketball skills of the kids he works with and then focuses working with them in areas where they can most use improvement. He is patient with the kids, and will work with them as long as needed on an area until he is satisfied enough with their improvement before moving on to working with them in other areas. Having someone like Coach Washington working one on one with your child also takes the pressure of the kids because they don’t mind making mistakes in front of them, because he lets them know that they are there to learn and not be judged. So if you want someone that will take a genuine vested interest in working with your child on developing and improving their basketball skills—give Coach Washington a try—you won’t be sorry!"

Your Basketball Training questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.

How much does a personal basketball trainer cost?

The average cost of a personal basketball trainer ranges from $30 to $150 per hour for one-on-one sessions. The cost can be influenced by factors such as the player's level (beginner, intermediate, or advanced), the trainer's experience and expertise, and the location where the training takes place.

Additionally, small group sessions of 2 to 4 children can cost $30 to $50 per session on average, while large group training of 4+ kids can cost $20 to $40 per session on average

How do you train for basketball?

A well-rounded basketball training regimen should include skill-specific workouts, strength and conditioning exercises, and a structured training program. Skill development includes shooting workouts, ball handling drills, and training tailored to your position, whether you’re a guard or post player.

Strength and conditioning exercises such as aerobic training and strength training for primary muscle groups like hips, quads, and glutes are critical. A structured 6-week training program that emphasizes form, technique, and skill progression should improve your game.

How many hours do basketball players train a week?

Basketball players, especially those aiming to improve their skills, may train for around 10 to 15 hours per week, depending on the level of their game. The specific distribution of training hours across skill development, strength training, and other aspects can vary based on individual needs and goals.

However, much of that training time does not require an instructor. Shooting hoops, working out at the gym, and playing pick-up games all count toward the total training time.

Is strength training important for basketball?

Yes, strengthtraining is essential for basketball players as it aids in the development of speed strength, absolute strength, and core strength. It boosts blast impulse, the ability to generate force rapidly, crucial for activities like jumping for rebounds and swift changes in direction.

Additionally, strength training enhances power output and agility, allowing players to respond quickly to on-court situations and maintain an edge over their opponents.

What questions should I ask a basketball trainer?

Ask these questions when picking a basketball trainer to help you meet your goals:

  • What is your background and experience in basketball training?
  • Have you worked with players at my skill level or position before?

  • How do you tailor your training programs to individual needs?
  • What specific skills and aspects of the game do you emphasize in your training sessions?
  • How do you address both physical and mental aspects of player development?
  • Do you conduct initial assessments to identify strengths and areas for improvement?
  • How do you track and measure a player's progress over time?
  • How do you incorporate injury prevention strategies into your training programs?
  • What steps do you take to ensure the well-being of your athletes?
  • What is your availability for training sessions?
  • How do you handle scheduling and potential conflicts?
  • How do you communicate with players and provide feedback?

  • Can you provide references from previous clients or players you have trained?
  • How do you work with players to set and achieve realistic goals?
  • What expectations do you have for players in terms of commitment and effort?
