How did you get started teaching?
Basketball - After years of coaching and seeing the decline of basic fundamentals in players. I wanted to provide a resource for fundamentals to still be the foundation of all training.
Strength & Conditioning - Being a Women's Collegiate coach, and girls High School coach. Just like basketball, there was a need for more trainers geared toward training female athletes specific in their sport. A volleyball player does not need to be trained like a football player. I saw a need for this and began studying to provide this specific service in my area.
What types of students have you worked with?
Professional
Collegiate
High School
Youth/AAU (Beginners - Advanced)
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Basketball - Make sure the trainier understands the skill level. Always do an assessment before commiting to training. This is beneficial to both the student and the teacher.
Strength & Conditioning - I specialize in female athletes. If you are looking for a trainer for a female athlete. Check what experience the trainer has with female athletes, and have they worked with an athlete in your sport.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
All athletes should understand what they are looking to accomplish. Do you want to get faster, stronger? Do you want to increase your vertical? Are you trying to increase range in your shot, or improve your handles. My suggestion would to be specific in your goals and let things grow from there with your trainer, but have a plan before you get a trainer.
