Basketball With Dwayne
About
Hello. My name is Dwayne Clark. I have had the privalge to play basketball since I was about 10. It has taught me many things in life. The most important is self discipline. Without discipline you cannot be successful. The discipline of basketball brought me many exciting things. Friendships. Loyalty. Travel. It afforded me opportunities to make a living as well. I can teach basic, intermediate, and advanced. A foundation is key at any level so I can help develope the total person/player. I have been afforded the opportunity to get my training from The Harlem Globtritters. Tom Izzo at Michigan State University. As well from many other professional athletes. Defense is a great foundation that has been lost in the fast pace game today. I can help develop defense, speed, agility, calmness under pressure, as well shooting Techniques. I look forward to hearing from you here's to the future.
