Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
A typical session can be anywhere from 60-90 minutes that will incorporate a proper warmup/stretching process into a specific drill or series of drills developed to each player's skill level and ability.
With Golf - I take a very patient approach given the complexities and different facets of the game. I listen and observe and work on one or two things at a time rather than trying to fix everything all at once. I break down the area's you need to work on by incorporating video analysis and we then put together a plan that works on your game incrementally.
With Basketball - Every session will focus on footwork, ball-handling and shooting. With each new drill and/or move, I always provide a visual and verbal breakdown of the skill for easier learning and transitioning. With the younger kids, I focus heavily on dribbling, passing, shooting, sportsmanship and having fun!
With Baseball - Every session will focus on the areas where the player would like to improve. These areas may include pitching mechanics, swing mechanics, fielding, footwork, catching and more!
